10 Years

Normally I refrain from posting anything not directly related to business, but many aspects of your personal life reflect in how you work and who you are as a professional.

Today marks my 10-year anniversary since I became a Christian and I am filled with gratitude for everything God has done in my life since then. I truly believe that this decision has shaped me into who I am today and has molded the core values that I strive to work by.

10 Lessons from 10 Years

• I have learned to be a servant and offer myself to any work that needs to be done.
• I have learned to have humility and learn from my mistakes.
• I have learned to put others before myself and be a team player in any initiatives or projects I’m involved in.
• I have learned to have patience, as the fruit of my labor may not be immediate, but the reap of my harvest WILL come.
• I have learned to encourage others and uplift them for everything they do well.
• I have learned to speak the truth in love and that how you say something is just as important as what you are saying.
• I have learned to respect my leaders even if I may see things in a different way.
• I have learned to have the heart of a student and to never cap my potential by thinking I know everything.
• I have learned to not judge others and appreciate the different perspective and experience they can offer.
• I have learned to persevere and keep pushing no matter how difficult it gets or how much work needs to get done.

Of course, the list can go on, but I am indescribably grateful for these 10 lessons. I understand that these lessons can be learned without being a Christian, but I am grateful that I was able to learn these by being a Christian and pursuing godliness. Whether you are a believer or not, I hope this post can encourage you in any way, whether little or large.

 I can’t wait to see what God teaches me in my professional life over the next 10 years and so on.

 All glory to God!
