I have a friend who recently retired from a company. She spent about 25 years doing essentially the very same job. She's bitter, she has nothing good to say about the company, and she can give you a long list of excuses why she stayed in a job she hated for so long.
How sad is that? Unfortunately, I'll bet you know of at least one other person in a similar position.
Just EXCUSES! She simply chose to relinquish all responsibility, blame situations and other people, and make excuses for not taking charge of her career and her own happiness. In other words, she gave up. And now she can spend her retirement looking back on her misery...at least she can take comfort in her belief that "It wasn't my fault!"
Let me ask you this... How are you making excuses in your career? What is it costing you?
