Are you are a "?" or "!"

At your job or in your relationships are you known as a “?” or an “!”

You may have a puzzled look on your face trying to figure out exactly what I am asking, so let me rephrase it…. Are you seen as someone who is a keeper or someone that can be replaced by whoever is waiting in the wings?

Ask yourself; at work are you the one ALWAYS asked to lead the conference call or head up the project?  Do your bosses value your input when making an important decision?  If so, you are definitely an exclamation point.

An exclamation point is a person that is highly valued in a particular circumstance, organization or relationship

However, if you are sliding by at work and your bosses never call on you to be the “go to” person or you are never up for a promotion, then you may be known as the question mark.

The question mark is a person that does their job, but they do not stand out.  They are never picked to lead/inform those within the company and/or represent the organization.  They are normally the first to go when layoffs happen, because they are not seen as he valued employee

It is like the saying “always the bridesmaid, but never the bride.”  Most of us strive to be the bride, but in order to be the bride we must show value and not settle for anything and always give our best.

If you are in a relationship and do not know how the other person views you then you are a question mark, however if the other person shouts from the rooftop...he or she is the love of my life... you are definitely an exclamation point.  If you are a question mark and want to be an exclamation point do not settle.  Find a way to be an exclamation point or walk away.

Your perceived value determines your punctuation, so decide whether you want to be a question mark or an exclamation point and be happy with your decision, because you are determining your brand.

Be blessed

I would love to hear if you are an exclamation point or a question mark and
