Every job attracts a salary, and every gift attracts fees.
Create your own work. Work on being, not merely on having. Learn to become your own biggest fan and believe in what you carry within you.
Where there is employment, there is not always deployment. Learn to deploy yourself.
A job gives you an opportunity to learn from others, while work gives you an opportunity to teach and create value for others.
A job may be built around your skills, while meaningful work can be an expression of your gifts. Deployment gives you an opportunity to discover yourself, develop new skills, and put your abilities into action.
DON'T TRADE YOUR DREAMS FOR A SALARY
Don't forget your dreams because of a salary.
As the saying goes:
“A salary is a drug they give you to forget your dreams.”
Don't allow people, money, or past experiences to control your future.
Why carry your mistakes on your head? The weight can crush you.
Instead, place your mistakes under your feet and use them as a platform to raise your vision.
Everything that has happened to you can become either a reason to feel sorry for yourself or a wake-up call to pursue your dreams and purpose.
YOU GET TO CHOOSE
Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle that keeps you from growing.
You get to choose.
Don't allow fear to influence your actions or determine your future. Learn, grow, adapt, and keep moving toward your purpose.
Your employment may be a chapter, but it doesn't have to be the whole story.
Deploy yourself. Develop your gifts. Pursue your purpose. Create value.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY
