'Mindscaping' for career building 25
'Passion is energy. Feel the power that
comes from focusing on what excites you.'
Answer this question: am I willing to continue to carry on with my job if my salary and perks
are cut by 50%? Am I willing to work if all my power and authority is removed?
If you've answered with a strong 'yes' to these
questions, it means that you love your job and not the salary, perks, power and
the responsibility that go with your job. We need to be clear about what is
that in your job which attracts us. The best motivator is the satisfaction that
you get when you get immersed in the activities that you do in discharging the
responsibilities.
If you love your job, you will do anything to do
the list of activities that go with the job. You will sacrifice anything to get
the satisfaction that you derive from the job. On the other hand if you love
the salary and the all the perks and power of your job, you will sacrifice
anything to retain them! But, satisfaction is something that cannot be
'purchased' by money or benefits. It is a feeling. This comes from a passion
that makes you to do anything to derive the satisfaction.
Now tell me do you love your job or your salary?
