One thing I do when I am stressed out is to see a movie. I recently watched "Afamefuna," an Igbo film that really resonated with me. As I was watching, a scripture came to mind: "And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?" (Luke 16:12 NKJV)
The movie delves into the Igbo apprenticeship system, focusing on a diligent young man sent to learn the ropes of a business under an established mentor. His commitment to the role was inspiring; he treated the business as if it is his own, going above and beyond to support his boss, even reclaiming seized goods on his behalf.
What struck me most was his work ethic and dedication. It reminded me of the importance of giving our all to whatever task is at hand, not just for personal gain, but for the collective success of the team or organization we're a part of.
In my professional journey, I've always believed that personal growth and organizational success go hand in hand. Yes, our work brings us financial rewards, opportunities, and growth, but the real fulfillment comes from the impact we make on the progress of the company and the people around us.
Every skill we acquire, every lesson we learn, is an investment in ourselves that stays with us, even if we move on from a role or organization. That's why it's crucial to approach our work with diligence, enthusiasm, and a genuine desire to contribute to something greater than ourselves.
If you've seen "Afamefuna," I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and how it resonated with you.
