Baxter's Buzz
Last week I watched Willy Wonka for the first time...well the first time all the way from start to finish. This concept of the "golden ticket" was eye opening to, in a way. I was at work and a coworker of mine was telling me about this "Power Ball" lottery that she was entering. "Come over here let me show you," she excitedly says to me. "If I could just win..."It doesn't matter what your job is or what department you're in, we all fantasize about hitting it rich. We want our situations to be better. We want our options to be plentiful.
My wife had an interview this past week and not only were we excited about her opportunity to work in that particular field, we thought what we could do with the additional funds she'd see each check. We think about getting that big promotion or hitting the lottery and all of our worries disappearing. Oh, if it were that simple.
The new job, whether it be with another company or a promotion with your current company, or maybe you start your own business, are all realistic possibilities. Winning the lottery: Probably not going to happen.
The American Dream is waking up everyday and feeling like you matter. Money is important. It has its place, but feeling like you are making a difference, like you're missed when you are away, like you are making an impact. That's truly the golden ticket.
