Negotiate for a better future

Nobody owes you a handsome reward. No employer or master owes you anything. It is all up to. Your remuneration is value driven. You get wages for the value you add. 

If you think you are worth much more than what you are currently being offered then take a walk. You need to focus on adding value to yourself and your work. Nobody can take that away from you. It goes with you every where you go. 

People are afraid to walk away from their jobs today for something much better because there is nothing significant and of exceptional value they are adding to their work. They are just looking for a place to hide their heads and get remunerated so they can pay their bills. 
If you are that good, you are the last person they want to lose in that company, and that places a great premium on you. 

My first priority at work is not what i need but what i can give. This is the mindset that drives value. 
If your priority is what you want to add to an organization, you would indirectly be adding value to yourself. 

Adding value to yourself is part of a global plan to prepare yourself for the future. Self actualization is my number one priority and really that is your primary assignment. 

The expression of that which is within you should be the primary reason for getting involved in anything. Find your path.
