One of the greatest challenges that all of us will face during our life is knowing where to spend our time. As you well know, all of us are allotted the same amount of time – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year (and 1 extra day on Leap Year). But, what we do with that time is up to each of us individually. How we spend that time and who we choose to spend it with is important. Our choices can make a huge difference in our life and in the lives of those we interact with, as well. Since that is the case, my suggestion is to go where you are celebrated…not just tolerated.
Perhaps you enjoy being part of some sort of sports team where your teammates pat you on the back, coaches commend your good work, and those in the stands jump up and cheer for you. Who wouldn’t feel good about that?!
Do you work with those who value your contribution to the business? Is there a sense of camaraderie and teamwork? Sure, every organization has its ups and downs, but knowing that you are making a positive contribution and that your work is valued and appreciated by other people causes you to feel celebrated, too.
Maybe you are part of a church or social group where friends are glad to see you when you come in and you are glad to see them. There is a sense of peace and contentment that comes when relationships are formed where there is mutual care and concern for each other. Nothing feels quite as good as being celebrated and validated.
