Motivation Moment - Grinding When Others Are Winding Down
It’s Monday, so it’s time for another #MotivatonMoment! I recently had an eye-opening chat that challenged my views on work-life balance. It centered around an old saying - "we do today what others won't to achieve tomorrow." It made me think twice about how I spend my summer Fridays. When 3 PM rolls around, most dash out the door to start the weekend early. But what if that time could be used more strategically instead? I learned about someone who leveraged those quiet Friday afternoons in the office to get ahead. While everyone else was mentally checked-out, he put in extra hours on passion projects. His dedication paid off enormously -- in the span of just two years! The story made me wonder...what opportunities am I missing by following the herd? It was thought-provoking to hear how small pivots outside the norm can reap big rewards down the road. Sometimes going against the grain -- temporarily -- is needed to produce outsized returns later. Of course, I wouldn't suggest overworking or unnecessary sacrifice. It's more about being open to adjusting your mindset in little ways when the chance arises. Demonstrating that level of commitment and pushing yourself to think bigger...those leadership qualities truly get noticed by key decision makers.
