You ARE NOT what others think of you. The only opinion that matters is YOURS. Listen closely, Black, Brown, Yellow, White, short, tall, average, fat, chubby, skinny, hairy, bald (hey, I’m follically challenged jerk!!!) or any other lame excuse to place blame anywhere but where it belongs – classification. At home or at work, it’s no different.
I believe you either can do something or you can’t. I call this “getting down to brass tax.” Personal growth is something YOU control. Just like “Homeland Security Begins at Home” (yes, I did coin that catch phrase)… so does the rest of our societal problems. Bunch of crybabies.
You want something & haven’t been able to achieve it?
Your problem. YOU are the ONLY ONE that can fix it. You dress like a slob? Change it. Are you sloppy in your mid-section? Pull back from the Doritos and Netflix binge & go for a walk. Your career boring and you think you should be driving something where all the paint is the same color? Suck it up buttercup. Stop placing blame on anyone other than yourself.
When your ready to #PutIntelligenceBackInEmployment, reach out. You want to armchair quarterback everyone else? Lick the tasty Orange residue off your fingers & go back to being a zombie, the rest of us have work to do.
