Are you truly invested?

Are you waltzing through the door late? Are you going in early, eagerly rushing in waiting for the day to start?
Often times we get moments are absolute clarity in what we are doing, if it's truly something we LOVE, we are passionate about and we float through our days. We love getting up and getting to work. WE have fantastic relationships with our colleagues, its a match made in heaven.

Well, reality hits, life isn't always like this, although there are many of us out there that are living our dreams. My question is, are you truly invested in your work location? Are you eating the corn bread and drinking the koolaid?
Often times when we are looking for a job, desperate and ready to take ANYTHING that is thrown at you, you enter into a world of "I will take whatever I get". These are the times when we don;t really care what the company stands for, merely that they provide a pay check.

I have been there. I have walked those lines. It is frightening to be out of work, and if it was like me, it took over 8 months to find something. 8 long months, no money, bills piling up and things you need. You remember the things you couldn't live without and then realize, you ARE living without those things. It's scary. You question yourself, your career path, your confidence is taken for a ride.

However, those times fade and you walk a different path, you become stronger. The opportunities now present themselves and you have choices. Yes, I said choices. You can request a higher salary, you have different options when agreeing to their terms. It's all well and good, but are you INVESTED??



Did you look into this place? Do you know anyone who works here? Have you spoken to them? Do you know that they have benefits that fit your needs? Do you imagine yourself there? Can you still see yourself there after 5 yrs? 10? Are you setting roots down there?

Make sure that your career is a fit for you. If it feels good, you are genuinely happy, they are supportive, encouraging, they make you happy.
This is investment at it's finest.

ARE YOU FITTING WHERE YOU ARE??
