Voicing my frustrations...
A few days ago, I read an article on a 24yr old lady who earns $20k per month expressing her desire to rejoin the civil service.
My first reaction was "What am I doing with my life?"
If you think $2000 - $3000 per month is good, wait until you have fully digested the fact that there are people earning $20k per month!
My second reaction was "I must then increase my capability 10 times or more so as to earn that amount of money every month."
Seriously, I am not a least bit contented or satisfied with what I am doing now.
I am happy that I am doing well, performing up to expectations, handling every client with excellence.
But I know that there is so much more potential to earn more, do more, bless more and give more to the people around me. And I want to reach that level! Of course, talk alone is cheap. Anyone can talk about his/her ambitions, aspirations but wait till you acheive it, then you have a case to make and a speech to share.
The only way I see myself moving forward is to go into IB (Investment Banking) and that is not going to happen overnight as well. I need to plan, strategise my career moves to manouevere into the desired position that would at least put me on par with the highest income earners of my generation. ie the class of 82.
Can I do it? Of course. Will I be intimidated by the challenges that come along the way? Definetely. But I also know that He is with me; always and forever.
The bottomline is; if you are content with 2.5k a month, then there is probably where you are going to stay. However having said that, we must still remain faithful in the little things that we are doing because without doing the little things well, how can we expect to be paid $20k per month when we can't handle the workload that is paying us our current pay?
I need to increase my capacity to handle more.
I need to be an excellent worker.
I need to be an excellent listener; to find out what my client actually desires.
I need to up my EQ level.
I need to be promoted soon.
I need to convince myself that comfort equates to being stagnant.
I need to be constantly uncomfortable with my work.
In the midst of pushing myself in my career, I need to have a partner to share my innermost thoughts with.
And I am making progress.
Pray for me. Thanks.
