Wake Up!

So I have held the same position for months though initially on taking up the offer, the plan was for me to still look around for a better option.

I got caught off guard with a transfer from one location to a far one . It isn't like it came with a rise too and it was going to really wear me out considering my current status: S-W.

So this came as a blow. I was definitely unprepared for it  but in my unprepared state, I learned a few lessons.

Never get comfortable to the point you forget your worth. Sometimes we get so comfortable with what we have, and let time pass us by completely forgetting what we are worth as individuals, wives, girlfriends, friends or employees. Have you ever gotten so comfortable you forgot your worth as a person because you were scared to face what was ahead? No, wake up!

Did you tell yourself after you landed that job offer you were going to upgrade yourself but got drowned in the pool of what you were earning and put off the upgrade? Yeah you got comfortable with your little earnings, wake up!

Did you ever feel like someone has been so mean to you, they challenged you to do something you could have done early on? Something you could have achieved or acquired only to wake up or be drawn back to the thing after people have rubbed it in your face or been mean to you? Wake up!

The earlier you stopped with the procrastination of your life's goals, the better way to avoid loads of discomfort, embarrassment, delay and the popular 'Had I known' phrase. Wake up!
Don't wait for a transfer that does not only discomfort you but leaves you with absolutely no room to take that big step.

It may be tough out there but waking up and facing the reality of the toughness ahead would be equal to realising your worth wherever you find yourself. Your worth can only be seen when you act it, earn it, get to that destination where it is seen and felt. Finally, by the message you send across and it definitely doesn't decrease if some people fail to see it. I mean, whether you like President John Mahama or not, he  is still the president of the day. You can't stop being a Ghanaian because he is president. Yes. Your worth!

Never you get too comfortable  and always be appreciative when the worst happens because beneath every dark cloud lies a lacey white cloud. It had to happen to wake you up.
