Definition: Value - Ability to produce good; to see the importance of; to have respect for.
"Values are essential to effective leadership. They are the uncompromisable, undebatable truths that drive and direct behavior. They are motivational, giving us the reason why we do things; and they are restrictive, placing boundaries around behavior. Values are those things that we deem important and that provide direction and guidance in spite of our emotions."
Its been a little while since I've posted something. Mainly because I've been completely unmotivated, personally and professionally. After an amazing month of bookings in December, during the holiday break, I slowly settled into being lazy and doing absolutely nothing. Not a good look. Especially being self-employed, I am pretty much responsible for every aspect of my career. Hiring, Marketing, Promotion, Admin, Office Manager ... well you get the picture. And well I've been more employed on the couch and in front of the tube being completely unproductive.
My career and personal life are in Phase 2. I am definitely on another level as far as what I want out of both. But Im not necessarily making the moves to make some of those things happen. In realizing where I want to go next, during this time I realize that by me sitting around doing nothing, I am de-valuing myself. Aside from my professional talent, I have to realize also, what I can offer others outside of the business Im in.
I have helped numerous people in different ways, many in how to get in the business, be patient, stick with it and keep it going. But GOD has blessed me with other talents that can help people beyond what they see on tv and in magazines. I think somewhere along the way, my value got sucked into everything I was putting into my career and now, Im just feeling unfulfilled.
Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, but I want to be doing more for others. So in my quest to get motivated, hyped, amped, pumped and getting back in the groove of my career, I will be looking into other ways I can utilize all of my valuable assets. I've made efforts but haven't quite completed the task. Slowly but surely, Im gaining momentum and getting back into the swing of things. But honestly, there is no time to waste. There is a trash can full of time wasted with my name on it. Tomorrow is not promised, and I sure don't want to face GOD with any should've would've could'ves.
I don't want to regret NOT sharing ALL the gifts GOD has blessed me with.
Until Next Time: Remember ... What GOD gives us is not for us to hoard for ourselves. It is meant to be shared so that our blessings can infect other's so that they too, may blessed.
Hey girl! If you want a book that'll start a fire underneath you, "never eat alone" by Keith Ferrazi is great! I bought it for a few bucks off thriftbooks.com and it's very motivating. You're awesome anyways, lookin' forward to seein' ya!
ReplyDeleteHey Beautiful, Just wanted to peek and say that you have truly been a support and light through my 'interesting' phaze,lol.. and i thank God for you! I think during my phaze i did the opposite and tried non stop to create WORK and avenues and recreate and finally realized that sometimes u need to JUST BE! Furthermore when i find myself consumed with 'creating' I realize that God only speaks in a whisper so when my world is loud from me spinning my wheels, I cant here him until im still!! I've been where u are and i'm sure I will be there again but what has helped me in the past is this...Each morning as I was my face i begin my daily prayer with "Lord, please provide a need for the gifts you've blessed me with" ... Love you and so proud of all that u are and everything u r becoming!
