PROGRAM D-6034

It's important that you define success each day in smaller, attainable goals. Instead of thinking that success is finding a job, think that success is making the number of networking calls you planned to do, finding a new person to add to your network, learning some additional information about the marketplace, getting an appointment or an interview. It's really important that each day you move the ball down the field a little bit, as you try to find the right job.

And humility is certainly an important lesson we can learn through an arrogant co-worker.

Do you have any enemies? Enemies are people who make your life uncomfortable, difficult, cause unnecessary hurt or discord, and are generally at odds against you in many ways, intentional or unintentional.

Are you dying for lack of discipline in your life? Did you realize that the Bible tells us we can die for lack of discipline?
