GET TO KNOW YOUR POSITION

Everybody has a position in this life and it is very important to know your position. Be it at your workplace or in your relationships with other people, which means not knowing your position affects almost all aspects of your life.

“KNOW YOUR POSITION, PLAY YOUR PART”

To play your part, you have to know your position. It’s getting confusing out there. Some people are playing other people’s part and I believe this is simply because they have no idea of what their position/role is in someone’s life or at the workplace. For instance, you have a female friend but she is playing your mom’s part instead of playing her part as a friend.  If you ask me, I think this is why so many relationships do not work out and it is also the same reason why so many people get fired at work. Some people want to do more, it’s just who they are. Regardless of how you behave or who you are, it’s very important to know your position and act accordingly.

YOU ARE ENTITLED TO KNOW WHERE YOU STAND IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

So one of my friends texted and she was like, Jacque can I ask for a favor? And I replied, yeah sure. She asked if I could write about this topic of people knowing their position in someone’s life since she has been going through situations where some people are complaining to her on the fact that she never checks on them. So she was like, “ Jacque I’m not really close with those people and we don’t really check on each other that much cause there is obviously nothing in common that we can talk about apart from the HIs and HEYs”. So the interesting point she made was, I’m tired of explaining to people in my circle that they need to know what position they have in my life and to know that there is a difference between a friend, close friend, best friend and also a relative because some relatives act like they know you very much while y’all just meet on rare family occasions. So I agreed to write about it because I believe it’s something that most people go through. Whereby people end up getting mad at someone for never checking up on him or her while she or he doesn’t do the same thing. It’s not only about checking up on someone but your overall acts in the relationship. You cannot act accordingly if you don’t know where you stand in somebody’s life. NEVER PUT YOURSELF IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU’RE NOT SURE OF WHERE YOU STAND IN SOMEONE’S LIFE.

If you want your relationships to work, play your role/part but know your position first. If your position is to be a friend because you don’t have the title yet, BE JUST THAT. If at your workplace your position is to be a secretary, then BE JUST THAT. Don’t go around the office trying to mess up with the Accountant’s position simply because you think you are good at it. If you think you are good at it, then go back to school and study to be an accountant. STOP BEING NOSSY instead use much of your time playing your part as a secretary and be good at it. SEEK CLARIFICATION AND GET TO KNOW YOUR POSITION!
