And if you can’t respect each and every person you come into contact with for that reason alone, you’re not respecting our greatest gift. Everyone is capable of doing and being someone completely different from you—and that is a worthwhile thing to respect. That’s the beauty of life. Photo Credit: Harold.lloyd (Flickr).

Give yourself the gift of releasing the past and focusing on the future. Chances are, the choice was out of their control. One last thing to avoid here: Coulda-woulda-shoulda thinking. This only leads to regrets. You can’t change the circumstances so don’t go there. You and your co-workers will find new opportunities.

We don’t give ourselves the gift of reflection or a moment to breathe. As human beings, we’re constantly growing and evolving. So it only makes sense that our goals may tend to shift over time as well. All to often, we get caught up in the “race to the finish.” It’s like we’re on autopilot, aiming straight for that goal, no matter what.

I do believe even the most righteous person would trade a piece of his soul in exchange for the right gift: a kiss from a distant lover, a moment with his buried father, a chance to live a dream. And those little cracks…they are the lines we draw for ourselves, the ones we learn to never cross again. There is a price for every soul.

Taking the time to reflect and rejoice in the moment is a gift we deserve. Celebrating our achievements can be hard. We’re trained to be humble and shake off praise with modesty and humility. But there’s value in celebration. So I’m taking that time. I’m asking you to celebrate with me today. Not for me, but with me.

I know it sounds a little odd, but your expertise is a powerful gift that deserves to be shared. Are you saving all that goodness for yourself? Are you using your expertise to further your own career without ever considering how it might help others? It’s yours, yes; you earned it. But why keep all that wisdom to yourself?

So, I’ve done a lot of analysis over the past few weeks (and a little soul searching as well), and I’ve created a plan for 2012 that I feel honors my true gifts and the areas of my work that really feed my soul. But there’s always room for growth. Mind you, there are a few fairly major changes here. But I’m convinced that they make sense.

Don’t look at it as a gift bestowed upon the lucky few. Once again, the reasons are plentiful (see above) and, for the purposes of this article, immaterial. What I want to do is encourage you to think of advancement as a deliberate choice. It is not something you deserve by showing up; it is an earned privilege and responsibility.
