why your career has to fit for you today, not tomorrow
TRANSCRIPT
Many of us were told that we have towork incredibly hard, climb the
professional ladder, and that we'll restafter we've worked 40+ years and have
made enough money to retire.
This logic says that we have to sacrificeeverything today in order to reap
rewards tomorrow.
Hustling to GetAhead

Here's what I've seen to be true formyself and countless others:
- When I make the time to value my well-being today, I reap better rewards
tomorrow
- When I live my days the way I want tolive my life, this awesome thing happens: I
live the life I want to live.
This Doesn'tWork for Me

"Delayed gratification," and all that has aplace in our worklives, for sure.
But how many of you are hating each dayin the hopes that something will change
when you're much, much older?
If we reap what we sow, then millions ofus are going to reap:
- exhaustion- hopelessness
- sickness
I Know, I Know...

If your life IS your day today, how's itlooking?
How does that statement make you feel?
What, if anything, do you want to changein order to get closer to the life that's right
for you?
Annie DillardSaid it Best:"How we spend our days is, of
course, how we spend our lives."

What's one thing you're hustling for todaybecause you want it in the future?
For example, are you busting your ass in ajob you hate in the hopes that you'll be
promoted in the future and then love yourwork?
Is that realistic?Could you actually have more demands
placed on you after that promotion?
What OneThing?

Whatever your one thing is, stop waiting forit to be created out of thin air.
For example, if you're getting sick all of thetime because you work too much, that will
not magically change after you're promoted.
Spend your day today the way you want tospend your life.
If you know you need to rest, take a sick day.Do what you have to do to make your career
work for you...today.
Don't Wait for It
