When opportunity knocks, will you be ready?

Many people waste their lives waiting for their chance to come. They’re too passive, using bad circumstances to justify a lack of action.

In one survey, 50% of workers claimed they dislike their job. In a separate gallup poll, only 15% reported feeling engaged at work.

Many people see stats like this as proof that companies need to do more to inspire people and get the best out of their staff. But what if we flip the script. What if we wonder why more of those people aren’t taking ownership and engaging themselves.

How many of those people do you reckon are actively working on improving themselves right now?

But you’re better than that. And here’s how to prove it.

Remember Everything Is a Dress Rehearsal for the Next Thing

On a long enough timeline, everything becomes practice.

When your job sucks, it’s easy to use this as an excuse to take it easy. Why invest your time and energy in a place where it’s not appreciated?
