People often confuse giving to the point they forget that the first person they should give to is themselves. As the saying goes, you cannot give out of an empty cup. Know more:
As we begin another year, I hope you can take the time to evaluate how much you have given yourself the past year in terms of investing in your personal and professional growth. I have always believed that the best gift you can give yourself is to grow by investing in your own development because the better you are at what you do, the more people will appreciate you and help you achieve your goals. This year, give yourself the gift of a better you.
Another goal you might like to achieve is adopting an attitude of gratitude. Be thankful for what you have and be content with what has been given to you. Much of the frustrations in your personal and professional life come from not being content with what you have, demanding to be given more than what you really need, or even comparing yourself to what others have. There is nothing wrong with wanting to become better and striving to be comfortable.
To help you become aware of your own biases and the way you think, write down your reflections in a journal so you can notice patterns. One of the best tools for self-evaluation are your written thoughts because they help you see yourself from a third person perspective. It also allows you to understand how you reacted during certain times in your life and evaluate what made you think and act that way.
You might also want to develop your network by reaching out to others and getting to know more people in the organization. I know of people who have worked in the same company for decades and yet do not know one single person from a different department. There are cases when someone’s role has limited interdepartmental interaction but this should not stop you from getting to know others from another team.
