Work Ethic

                Now a day’s people seem busier than they have ever been. Whether it is because they’re playing both mom and dad roles, working multiple jobs or have a career with school on top of that. It is amazing to see what we, as people, can handle all at once. Unfortunately, some of us tend to spread ourselves to thin and then something eventually gives. What determines what gives is our priorities. This is a good time for you to think about what you consider a priority while you read.

                Work Ethic plays a lot in the role of priorities. Some of us who have it tend to own the day or,” Carpe Diem” if you will. Some of us do the exact opposite. Some like to day dream and wish on a star that something awesome happens and they will go from there. Sadly, they’re wishing and waiting for the rest of their lives. Your work ethic determines a lot about you and how your future is going to look like, no matter what you’re doing at that time. It separates people who have jobs from people who have careers. It rolls over into everything we do. Doing work is what brings the success you want; nothing else. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, what excuse you have for today or what you say. All that matters is the work you put in. You get what you gave. If you gave it your all, you’ll get it all. If you gave nothing, you will get nothing.

                What I do want you to realize is that work ethic isn’t something that can be taught or bought. Work ethic is shown by example for your own interpretation alone. We all cannot do or have what everyone has, that is impossible. However, we can interpret our own situations and example however we decide to and go from there. The idea is to take the example, take a page out of it’s’ book and then apply it to your life. Don’t duplicate what someone else did and hope it works, make your own way while using others situations as example to learn how it can benefit you and your life. 

I am a big believer that everything that happens to us happens for a reason, whether it is good or bad. People, events, and situations all happen to us for a reason. Whatever the reason is, it is up to us to figure out why it happened and take a lesson away from it.  I believe people come into your life to show you something about yourself. I also believe the situations and events that happen to us, be it good or bad, help show us what we are really made of. That is how our own work ethic is established. We learn from what happened, and it makes us either better or, in some cases, worse than before. That decision is entirely up to you.
