Be Responsible:“the Have-to’s” And “the Want-to’s” by BISolutionsng: 6:15pm On May 20, 2018 |
Article By Tokunbo Fasoro FB AND IG: @TOKUNBOFASORO I was chatting with a friend and she was talking to me about how the house would be so dirty sometimes and she wouldn’t just feel like cleaning. She would instead 'want to' sleep or watch TV, but unfortunately, it’s something that she 'has to' do.As human beings, most times we don’t want to be stressed, we all just want to sleep, have fun, relax, play, hang out, party etc. These are things we 'want to do' and there are so many things we wouldn’t feel like doing, especially when it comes to hard work, setting goals, following through, making sacrifices etc. but unfortunately these are things that we 'have to do' to remain relevant and be successful.Relating this to careers, goals or even aspirations in life, we just find out that most times we prefer to remain where we are. Quite a lot of people find it difficult getting out of the status quo. Many times you discover a lot of people are limited because they are not intrinsically motivated, most people want to be motivated or pushed by other people before they can take the next big step in their lives which would take them to the next level. What amazes me most times in issues like this is that my friend actually knows that the right thing to do is to clean the house, like I know that the right thing to do is to register for that certification or do that MBA because that new credential is what can get you out of the limitation you find yourself in and take you to the next level. It’s just something that 'you have to do' which might require you to reduce your sleep in order to read or cut down on a holiday splurge to pay for an exam that will take you to the next level. Most times we need to note that the 'HAVE TO' are the activities that lead towards success and it is essential that we are able to differentiate between the two to determine the actions to take, not only in our careers but in every aspect of our lives. Be responsible- Remember someone might be watching Being responsible is a topic I like to talk about all the time because as unbelievable as it may sound, just being responsible can take you to places that you can never imagine you can get to. Responsibility is a skill, you learn it. Someone said the decision to be lazy or get up early everyday is taken by you. It all boils down to your own conscious decision, choosing your own actions and words. Responsibility reflects in the decisions we take in our everyday lives from when you wake up in the morning to take a bath, going to work, how we work and relate with our colleagues, bosses and subordinates, getting early to work, following your schedules, meeting your timelines, ensuring savings, pursuing career and personal development etc. This list can go on and on. Being able to show responsibility in every little thing produces good results. A colleague of mine was sharing with me on how he found in the dustbin an envelope of money in the US dollar currency and he returned it to his boss. He said to me that his boss was surprised the he found and returned the money. Since then, he keeps recommending him for amazing opportunities that he is not sure he even deserves. It pays to be responsible. I have put down a few tips on how we can improve ourselves in being responsible. Click the link below to see them http://biempowerment.org/have-tos-and-the-want-tos/ |
