I have written a good many articles and have had my share of professional disappointments in days past. I am a man who has always believed you reap that which you sow. If one of my articles was not the best I could do, I tried improving on the next go around. On that note why is it that so many these days complain about their disappointments rather than taking them as learning experiences?
Many in today's world are so used to instant gratification and the quick and easy road that the idea of actual work and effort makes people scared. Scared of what? Scared of disappointment, scared of failure? maybe. Mostly though I think it comes down to a fear of commitment. It is all too easy these days to give up on things, sadly this affects people emotionally,professionally,personally and in many other life aspects.
Take for instance a job,say you work at Mcdonald's, you've worked your way up through the ranks and finally, after starting out at minimum wage, you've worked and made manager. Then, something happens, either you don't like your employees, your superviser or whatever, so you are wanting to quit.
Keep in mind now that you have been working at Mcdonald's a good while.
So here is the question, do you stick out the job at Mcd's or do you see if you can find greener pastures? One's gut reaction is to say "find greener pastures" however, as the old saying goes the grass is not always greener on the other side.
If you quit your job at Mcd's and go home, who's to say if and when you'll find better work?
Even if you do, if you go from Mcd's manager to janitor you haven't really made an improvement have you? NO of course not. Point being, different or new is not always better.
My suggestion is you keep the job you have, work your way up to better things rather than giving up at the 1st sign of trouble. Whatever your hands find to do, do with diligence,honesty and patience.
All good things take effort, whether it is in business,personally, building relationships, or anything.
If something takes more work than expected, stay committed! The more committed you are the greater the reward later on
In keeping on the note of commitment in all things, let's talk about commitment in marriage.
The majority of divorces today are caused by a lack of effort,commitment,appreciation and patience.
As in all things marriage is complex and takes work, "irreconcilable differences" is another excuse people use in lieu of saying "I don't feel like making the effort to make this work." A marriage is or should be a mutual undertaking, not one person taking all the initiatives while the other just sits back.
I believe the reason divorce rates are so high is the fact that many don't understand that marriage is an ongoing,forever growing, loving, and yes mutually sacrificial pursuit. A relationship cannot be one sided. With that said, whether in marriage or life in general, commitment is key !
