Life Transition: Promotion at Work

Commentary by Peter Shepherd
Promotion at Work
“I'm a great believer in luck, and I find that the harder I work, the more of it I have.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
As Shakti Gawain says, "When you're following your energy and doing what you want all the time, the distinction between work and play dissolves." For many people work is drudgery, but when you're doing something worthwhile, according to your own values, the situation is transformed. Then production = morale. The more you get done, the better you fee, the more your work will be appreciated.
“I never dreamed about success, I worked for it.” ~ Estée Lauder
Believe in yourself and the value of your work and you will be unstoppable.
“You were hired because you met expectations, you will be promoted if you can exceed them” ~ Saji Ijiyemi
Steve Jobs said, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. The only way to do great work is to love what you do." Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness. If you're free and happy, those are wonderful qualities in your life, and they will attract equally positive opportunities to you.
“Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” ~ Lou Holtz
Mark Twain has some advice: "Stay away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great."
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~ Maya Angelou
