You’re feeling beat up.\u00a0 Your career has been jerked around for the last five years, even more, and the inspiration you once had seems to be a distant memory.\u00a0 Maybe you feel stranded in a leaky lifeboat, wondering if you’ll ever see a brighter future.I understand.\u00a0 Many people are in this place right now, so you’re not alone.<\/p>\n

The natural instinct is to distance yourself emotionally, so you aren’t so hurt the next time a change occurs.\u00a0 You disconnect from your current employer and your coworkers.<\/p>\n

Here’s the problem:\u00a0 By doing this, you sabotage your own success.\u00a0 When you’re disengaged from your work, others pick up on it and see you as less valuable to the team.\u00a0 You’re more likely to get jerked around, perhaps even lose your job.<\/p>\n

In a way, this is quite similar to what I discussed last time about being seriously engaged in your endeavors<\/a>.\u00a0 The way you view things is reflected in the quality of your work, which then impacts how people perceive you.<\/p>\n

You have a choice.\u00a0 Either engage in your work, get invested emotionally, and try to be proud of your work … or don’t.<\/p>\n

The outcome will reflect what you put into it.<\/p>\n

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t\u2014you’re right.” – Henry Ford<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
