Empowerment requires extra effort and a strong mental attitude. Feed on the positives. Don’t whine or look for pity. No money doesn’t mean no hope. Be enthusiastic about your career, be eager to learn, adopt a positive, high-energy outlook. Face your reality without becoming a prisoner to reality. The shortest bridge between despair and hope is a positive attitude. We all face problems. The issue is not the problem but how we respond to the problem. You must have the will to succeed .
I’m glad you acknowledge and want to solve the problem. You can’t change your situation by burying your head in the sand. However, getting on the right track requires more – you must also acknowledge the weakness of your present approach and instead take positive, concrete steps. You don’t get opportunity simply by wanting or asking. Get out of your comfort zone and start doing something now. Asking isn’t enough. Take up challenges and learn from your experiences both good and bad. View what you need to do as an investment in your career. Change your orientation – look beyond the surface. Don’t assess your effort and time simply in terms of what you’re investing now.
Empowerment doesn’t have to remain a dream. You can tame the beast. A lot depends on your career focus and your attitude towards the opportunities at your disposal. I close with words of George Bernard Shaw, “I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.”
