The Working Warrior pt1

 Today is one of my busiest days a week at work.  At the Clothing/dept store where I work today is one of the days when we get our shipment in.  Now our store policy is "Door to floor in 24" which means that as soon as the shipment comes in the entire stockroom has to be empty by the end of the day. One of the many jobs I have there is running the mens department.

In the 8 hours I'm there minus the breaks and lunch I have to get all the mens clothes out underwear and all, create new "Features"(5) presenting the lastest gear of the season, seperate "Clearence" items from "Super Clearence" clean the area, to make it presentable, supervise and be a backup for the manager on duty. All while being polite and helping customers in a fast paced high clientle store.

I take my job seriously but sometimes I just dont think I can get it all done by myself in what actually breaks down to be maybe six and a half hours of consistent work at the least.  But like I said, I take my job seriously.  I KNOW that I didnt get to where I am now by being lazy and complaining.  I got here by WORKING HARDER than the next person and taking on every CHALLENGE in my ever quest for SUCCESS.

My boss always tries to induce fear by asking me "are you sure you can get this done?"  "do you think you'll need help?" But my answers are always "yes" and then "no" cause I KNOW I CAN do ANYTHING I PUT MY MIND TO and also knowing that only I CAN DEFEAT MY FEARS AND ONLY I CAN MAKE MYSELF SUCCESSFUL.  I now live by the model: "WORK SMART, NOT HARD"  Instead of complaing and asking for help or doubting my expectations I attacked my job like a lion on a gazzelle.

First thing I did was THINK.  I took the tasks at hand and divided them by the time I had left.  Next I mesaured my ENERGY, how much I had left at that time and how much I can muster up with a little rest.  Then I divided my ENERGY amongs the tasks, multiplied, then applied.

Later my work was done and I had an hour left over to clean up and help usher in the night shift.  Now I'm spent but nothing bets the satisfaction of work well done.

 

Experience last longer than Regrets

  Alot of times when I talk to people about the possibility of being SUCCESSFUL the subject about "THE PAST" always comes up.   Its the first thing they go to when confronted with any kind of change whether good or bad.  You cant blame them though we all do it.  Our LIFE is comprised of KNOWLEDGE and past EXPERIENCES good or bad.  What we did in the past can and will affect what we may do in the FUTURE.

When reffering to the past I always say "MISTAKES WE LEARN FROM ARE CALLED EXPERIENCE WHILE MISTAKES WE DONT LEARN FROM ARE CALLED REGRETS"  Life is full of negatives so alot of times we hold on to our regrets wondering about what could've been instead of using that experience to PROGRESS in the NOW.

We need to let it go and move on and the best way to do this is by cleaning out the mental closet. If you THINK by now you would've had that degree you wanted if you'd stayed in school, go back, NOW! Still clinging on to that mate knowing that life could've would"ve been better if you'd let them go, let them go!, NOW! Success first starts in the MIND.  CONTROL what you THINK.  Turn your negatives into positives because experience lasts longer than regrets. -VAR
