Do not expect gratitude for your past achievements.
That sentence hit me like a slap in the face at the time.
A coach told me:
‘Your contributions and sacrifices have already been fully compensated through your salary and bonuses.’
For years, I had kept an internal credit account.
Every night. Every weekend. Every sacrifice.
I thought it was adding up.
It was not.
Because, from the company’s perspective, nothing had ever been outstanding.
That sounds harsh.
But it set me free.
Because as long as you keep a credit account nobody but you knows about — you will always be disappointed.
You are not paid for the past.
Only for decisions in the present.
Where are you still expecting something today that nobody owes you?
