Make yourself relevant

Reflection for the day

By Olubunmi Adebayo

*The only person who may not be relevant is the dead. Even the dead are relevant sometimes.*

*That you are lowly placed in an organization or that you don’t have what you are doing should not make you feel you are irrelevant. This is because you can be unengaged and still make yourself relevant.*

*I tell you, the more you make yourself valuable, the more people will treat you as being relevant.*

*Being relevant is not a function of how high your position is in the organization.*

*Being relevant is not a function of the number of degrees you have.Yes,degrees are indeed good.*

*Being relevant is not a function of the number of vehicles you may have. Certainly, vehicles are important.*

*Being relevant is not a function of how much money you have. Money is good to meet needs.*

*Some may tell you,you are not relevant. Others may make you feel irrelevant.*
*Don’t act as if you are not relevant. Work to justify your place, your pay and your presence anywhere you may find yourself in life.*

*Don’t think as if you are not relevant. Engage in positive involvement in your environment and make contributions that count.*

*Don’t just occupy space, keep working to set standards and selflessly meet needs.*

*When you do the above consistently over time, IF and WHEN you are absent and people start mentioning the vacuum created at your end despite someone else trying to do your work or cover your schedule, then YOU ARE RELEVANT.*

*Allow no one to make you feel you are less relevant. Allow no mistreatment to make you act as if you are not relevant. Do your best to make yourself relevant please.*

Good day to you 👍
