Want to move up?

Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Want more responsibility?  Then be a good steward of what you've been given right now.  It's as simple as that.  It's as easy as that!  I know people who moan and complain that they don't have enough to do at work or they promise they can take on more responsibility and yet they can't even do what they have been given correctly.  And they blame shift and excuse away what they don't do.  Want more responsibility?  Then be a good steward of what you've been given right now.  That includes owning up to your mistakes, not blame shifting, not excusing what you don't do, and going above and beyond and  not just settling for getting by.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
