What are you taking control of in your lift today?

I try to make sure that I have a clear mind, so I don’t make rational (and wrong) decisions.

As Christina has mentioned in her LinkedIn post:

The truth is, we can’t control the past, but we can control how we live our lives in the present.

I absolutely agree with Christina on this. I have made some pretty bad mistakes in the past, which will not happen again in my life.

Just learn from your mistakes and move on.

One mistake that I did was apply for whatever roles I wanted to do, even if I had never had a job in that field. I did this for ages, and found that I was not getting anywhere.

Now, I make sure I aim for the jobs that I have doe in the past, go through the Job Description and make sure that I fit 80% of the Job Description.

I feel that any of the (up to) 20% is something I can learn quickly, whilst being able to complete tasks (the 80%).

We never EVER stop learning, so keep learning!
