This past Sunday’s sermon was called “You Gotta Do Something”, the pastor went on to say that life’s opportunities aren’t falling out of the sky, you have to climb a latter and be prepared to reach for them when they are lowered down. It wasn’t until yesterday that it became clear to me that I wasn’t doing all that I could do in order to reach the opportunities in certain areas of my life. For example, I’ve had this internship for about ten weeks and I have about 3 or 4 more weeks to go. Usually, my days weren’t very eventful, I would mostly just watch people, complete my projects with lightning speed, research on the computer (a little more than I should’ve), and work on my intern presentation. One day my boss’s boss came to check in on me, and it kind of gave me the impression that he thought that I wasn’t keeping busy. I was a little insulted but it was just what I needed. I always tell myself that I’m an over-doer and I work the hardest but in actuality, I could be doing more. I pride myself in getting out there and being self motivated but I had fallen into stagnation…I was becoming a slacker. I talked to my dad later that day and he told me that it shouldn’t take someone being on your back for you to go and do something. What made me feel even worse about the matter, a friend and I had had an argument over lunch a few days ago about taking the initiative to take on work. I told him that his theory sounded stupid, but I was the one being stupid. It made me feel embarrassed because I would never see myself that way but it was true, I was being lazy and waiting for work when I should’ve been fighting for something to do. So today that’s what I did, and I have found that finding something to do yourself is way better than someone telling you what to do. Even if you aren’t doing a whole lot, PERCEPTION IS KEY!!! Walking around with a pen and paper looks good. When people hire employees they are looking for the one that can be the most efficient with the least amount of supervision. They really don’t want to have to breathe down your neck. I had to check myself, sometimes the views of ourselves get distorted but that is natural because we are on the inside looking out. Then we just re-evaluate,re-juvenate, and KEEP IT MOVING!!! That’s what I love about life, it’s never to late to change especially for the better. YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!!
peace and love
