Professional Development Essentials #1: Focus on yourself

“It’s your road, and yours alone.

others may walk it with you,

but no one can walk it for you.”

― Rumi, The Poet

In believing in your own path, you treat your mind, body and heart with respect, love and resilience

Added bonus: These truths apply to life, too

Never settle for anything less than what you deserve

Never take on more than what you can comfortably handle

Never turn down a degree that is within your reach

Always set a goal

Never forget to chart the path to achieve your goal

Always network

Always seek out a mentor or coach in your field

Always stay curious and inquisitive

Never follow the crowds, cliques, posses, and attention seekers
