Daily Affirmations: Job Well Done
February 23, 2015
A few days ago I posted about the issues faced for a writer or in fact any creative person who is self-employed. We are our own worst critics and often when we complete a job or a project we fail to give our self recognition and reward for a job well done, as Julia Cameron notes below in her lovely affirmation from her book Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life
Last night I completed a draft of the first of three essays for my Prior Learning Portfolio at UMass Amherst’s UWW. When complete, I hope to garner 24 credits for my prior experience which includes two small businesses, creative writing, political and news blogging and contemporary communications.
This morning, I re-mind myself…
“Work well done is its own reward. While praise for our labors is lovely, satisfaction comes from our own approval. In a work world that is harried and hurried, sometimes we alone notice our efforts and their effectiveness. The memo well written, the project brought to timely completion, the budget accurately spent, the team successfully managed – each of these can be a point of personal satisfaction.”
“Today, I am my own boss. I am my own mentor. I am my own critic, saying, “Job well done.” – Julia Cameron – Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life
Namaste… Pamela
