It has been a long time since I blogged…and today I just don’t want to miss this topic….so I am actually putting away loads of work and writing this…because I really need to say this….
Being inspired has not been too often in the past…demotivation? Ya…that happens easily. But lately….i am having this new zest for life…I am not sure what is making it happen…but it is just happening..
The last 2 sessions that I have attended at office has really inspired me and motivated me….and most of all…made me feel very proud and good about myself….So yes…I am here today blogging just to simply boast abt myself.
I have heard from a lot of people that “things don’t just happen for no reason….there is always a hidden reason behind it”…I have started believing this very much now.
I came back to office after my maternity leave. It was very disappointing to know that the welcome was not too good. My seat was taken away and I had to shift to the only available lonely area. All new topics (and old ones) were taken up by other colleagues and I was left with all the left overs. Although I was doing all the tasks given to me…somehow people seemed to just think that with a child I would not be able to handle all tasks and so someone must be helping me. This is not at all a good environment and was extremely depressing for the first few days. I was already having a tough time leaving behind my few months old little one….with an overturned U shaped lip curve….and then I realized it was not worth it.
Sometimes life does not leave you with too many choices….and I have also learnt that working with constraints is what makes you better. If everything is available, then what is left for you to do?….so I had this situation of not being able to quit my job…and I thank this constraint without which I would not have a job…which is a life for me and myself only.
At one point frustration reached the peak….This was when I decided that I needed to motivate myself and prove it to myself and then the others that I was still capable. I decided that my career was something I had to handle and not depend on what my colleagues or manager wanted me to do. I decided that it was possible for me to have a career and a happy family and I would prove this to the world. This of course does not require me to change my job for a higher salary and that did not really define career growth.
I set out to define my goal career wise so that I can work towards it and this was the point when I go to attend this interesting meeting with one of our program directors. He had a 16 year career with our company and he had done multiple roles. He was so proud of each role he had done and he explained his responsibilities with so much pride. It was so nice to hear that.
This made me realize that to get into a good role and do a good job one need not switch jobs. This was a reassurance of what I had decided.
I also understood that 2 to 3 times one has to prove themselves…after that the world would call you… Last but not the least…I was reassured that my manager need not play a role in my career and I can mould it the way I want…IF I KNEW WHAT I WANTED….so again I was on the right track.
Today I attended a session in the Business women’s network community in my company. There was this lady from the top leadership team who was called to give us a talk on how she reached the top and what challenges she faced.
I am extremely proud to BOAST that I am quite sure that I have all the qualities that she has (and she talked about). …and I am the right track with my thinking… I just need to now execute my plan to achieve my goal and then I will be way ahead for no one to catch me…
This talk also reassured me that I will be able to have a very happy family and that I was in the right direction towards it.
It feels too good to feel good about oneself…..and today I am floating….
I have actually decided to set milestones for myself and achieve my life’s goals…and update this blog every time I achieve something
Magic of believing….….the subconscious mind does actually lay a blueprint in front of the ind for execution and you come across people and activities that really help you move forward even without your knowledge….Try it!! It really works!!!
