Now, I know what you might be thinking. You\u2019re thinking that I\u2019m going to tell you to volunteer, volunteer, and volunteer some more!<br \/>\nWell, I\u2019m not.<br \/>\nAnd actually, that is what I was expecting to hear as well. However, I was delighted to learn that this particular workshop wasn\u2019t focused on volunteering. <em>(Disclaimer: Volunteering your time is neat and does a lot of good for your community and yourself. If you can, great! But I\u2019m not telling you that you need to, per the sentences above.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The focus of the workshop was effort and sacrifice, more specifically:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">\u201cIs my effort worth someone else\u2019s sacrifice?\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>What a question. My knee jerk response: <em>\u201cYes. Totally!\u201d<\/em> However, after careful thought, <em>\u201cyes\u201d<\/em> isn\u2019t always the answer. In reality, the answer is, <em>\u201cSometimes.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nSometimes my efforts, for lack of a better word, suck. I get stuck on myself and can\u2019t see beyond whatever problem is right in front of me. While I\u2019m wallowing in my own issues, it\u2019s easy for me to forget about the bigger picture \u2013 those who give up something in direct relation to my work.<br \/>\nPhoning it in or putting in a small, sad, poor effort is not worth the sacrifice of others that depend on you. Think about your customer. They sacrifice money from their pocket for what you sell. Even if you aren\u2019t the one manufacturing that product, you are still part of it. Your efforts still add to the result.<br \/>\nSince this workshop, I\u2019ve been striving to make \u201cyes\u201d my permanent answer. When I fall into a negative space, I try to remind myself that someone gives up something for me every day. It\u2019s a challenge to constantly reevaluate and adjust how I\u2019m feeling and reacting to things around me. But, I know what a bad attitude and not showing up for those who depend on me would do instead. My customers, coworkers, and family deserve my best.<br \/>\nWill your efforts in this new year be worth someone else\u2019s sacrifice?<br \/>\n<em>photo credit:\u00a9\u00a0iStock.com\/CreativaImages<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2974\" src=\"http:\/\/etereman.com\/remanu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/AVA_RU-Blog-ADaugherty.jpg\" alt=\"AVA_RU-Blog-ADaugherty\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><em>If you ask\u00a0Girl Wonder, effort and sacrifice go hand in hand.
