When last did you celebrate your paycheque?

When I ask this question in my seminars I am often greeted with derisive laughter and comments like "Celebrate it! Mourn it and complain about it yes but celebrate it, No. You obviously haven't seen my paycheque."

Now your paycheque may not be to your liking but you, and only you, can change that.

Before we go on however I'd like to ask you something.

When you started working here was your pay cheque too small?

Did you deliberately take a job with a low salary, or was this perhaps the only job you could get?

How did you feel when you got your first pay?

I'm prepared to bet that you were either quite excited or quite relieved, whatever your feeling however, you were happy to get that cheque and I'll bet that your first pay cheque did not feel too small.

But let me take you back in time, way, way back to a time when our forefathers were "hunter gatherers". No corner grocery store. No Malls. No 24hr convenience store. If they wanted to eat they had to dig it, pick it or kill it.

Imagine the scene, the hunters have left on the hunt and been gone quite a long time. The women and the children of the clan have remained at home (the cave or hut) and busy themselves with the daily domestic chores. Every now and then they anxiously scan the horizon. When will the men be back?

Suddenly a shout rings out. The men are on their way back! There is great excitement in the camp. And when the men return with the result of the hunt there is a celebration. The successful hunt means survival. It means that the foundation for future generations can be laid. It means life.

Well, today we no longer have to kill our food to eat it but we have to pick it up at the grocery store and dig deep into our pockets to pay for it and we complain that the rising prices are killing us.

No. Instead of going hunting, you go to work and offer your skills and time in return for a paycheque.

That paycheque is just as important to you and your family as the meat that the hunter brought back.

That paycheque means survival.

That paycheque means that the foundation for future generations can be laid.

That paycheque means life. Imagine what your life would be like without it.

Celebrate your paycheque no matter what size it is. It means that you are successful. It means that you are making a contribution. It means that someone values your skills and time enoughto pay you for it. If you celebrate it you will appreciate it and use it wisely. If you despise it you will waste it.
