Most people use the beginning of the year to reflect, but this year it's
happening for me now. I was on a trip recently and a comment was made
that I apologize too
much and ironically a week later someone else told me to grow more
kahunas. Looking back on the last year has been amazing that I have
focused on my job and my physical health. I find it liberating that for
once I've incorporated me as a priority, but both of those comments
reminded me that there is always room to grow.
I am just returning from a 10 day business trip. Before leaving I was
anxious about leaving my cat, wondering if anyone would miss me, and to
be quite honest sad that I would miss my gym classes. When I was away
and standing in front of an audience to give a speech to over a thousand
I came to some strong conclusions - my cat is a natural predator so she
would survive and people might miss me but their lives would continue.
There were two "aha" moments: my gym classes which are completely by
choice were mine alone to enjoy and it's always okay to shout internally
and externally what's in your best interest. So sitting in my condo
alone right now I am reminded that you don't apologize for the path you
choose, in fact you take the reins - kahunas and all!
dyism:
Life happens and will not stop. You have to choose to place what is
important as a forefront and realize that if it doesn't fit to prepare
the wings to fly.
