It is important that I am always striving to move forward. There will be setbacks and lags, but as long as my general direction is headed towards progress, then I will feel successful in the end. My progress can only be initiated and controlled by myself. Within me is the characteristics I need to develop and strengthen to progress. Characteristics that I would like to hone in are: integrity, courage, virtue. I would like to be someone can say is capable of following through with a job and that is is done well. What I find exciting in life is the opportunity to become better and stronger in all aspects of life. This is only done when effort is port forth towards these goals.
I realize that I am only in the beginning stages of my career, and I still have much to learn. I see others who have advanced in their careers and are closer to retirement. Their experience has been amazing and rewarding although it may not have been easy. Ease is appealing, but does not yield much growth. I know that in order to be where those experienced veterans are, it will take overcoming hard things and being willing to accept challenges. I don't want to be one of those who retire with not much to show for it.
