I hope this post is helpful to get you motivated and started while being realistic in your expectations. And by that, I mean immediate to short-term expectations.
This post was very helpful, and I have share it with my followers and friends!
Firstly, thanks for the mention... I was a bit busy lately, so didn't engage too much with others, and I hope that I didn't miss a lot of your awesome posts!
The contract paid real good money. Yet, about half-way through the contract, some of my colleagues became upset when they heard about another company that paid even better money for the same services.
Immediately, when I see these lines, they reminded me about the Bible story about two sons... When the lost son came back home... It's almost the same situation, and I had a lot of trouble accepting that part in my life, and in my way of thinking...
I would do the same before... Thinking about how much did I "lose" (when you couldn't lose... it's just speculating), and how I could ask more, etc...
There is a saying in my second mother language (lol), and it goes like this:
"It's better to have a pigeon on the table (in plate), than a hawk on a tree"
It's a bit savage, but you get the point :)
Great post, man! I'm glad that I read it!
Thank you for your amazing comment and the kind words.
I am glad you find this post helpful to the extent that you shared it with your followers and friends!
I totally get what you mean referring to the Bible story and the two brothers. I think it is something that we all need to (1)experience and (2)learn how to process it and make peace with ourselves.
I absolutely love this. It is such a fantastic illustration of the "moral of the story". Rather be grateful for what you have than chasing something that is out of reach.
You cannot lose something you never had in the first place, isn't it?
Thank you for your ongoing support! I really do appreciate it!
