Pick Yourself
Categories: Business, Forward Thinking, On The Job, Training
Why do certain kids always get picked last in gym class?
Why do certain employees always get skipped over for promotion?
Why does life seem to present opportunities to some while it appears to ignore others?
My analysis is that it’s because those individuals would never pick themselves. If you’re not willing to pick yourself, neither are your peers. Doors close. Opportunities slip away. You’re last again.
If you want a spot on the team, if you want the job or the promotion, and if you want the once in a lifetime opportunities you have to be willing to pick yourself. Completely. Without a doubt.
Are you willing to pick yourself? Be honest.

This is thought-provoking. I hadn’t realized until I read this, that in the name of “grounding” myself and my kids, I’d been teaching them to aim lower and not expect so much. Not cool.
Thanks for your thoughts page! I’m glad it got you thinking.
