Challenge 110: Rock my meeting

April 30, 2010

To school or not to school. That seems to have been the question for me ever since I was still in college. It's a feeling I just can't beat/don't want to beat (perhaps). But what do I want it for? I keep asking myself this. Is it the thirst for knowledge? Is it having a higher degree attached to my name? Is it the thing that gives me the opportunities I want? Is it an old dream I can't let go of? I can probably answer all of these questions. But what's in my gut? My "looky belly" as my mom calls it. I've always been really good with my intuition, letting it steer the ship. And eventually I know it'll steer me clear this time around too. It's the beforehand that's annoying. The unknowing. Some people love not knowing. I'm trying to embrace that a little more, but I'm still far away from "love." The program...Positive Psychology. To me, it's basically life coaching in the academic realm. Must get more information.

Yesterday the task was to clean my office and I did! It looks great and I feel SO much better. Coaching went well yesterday. Also, I had something cool happen yesterday. At work, my boss wanted me to paint a portion of his wall in this chalkboard paint so that his kids can draw on the wall. I'm already not much of a painter, bad with edges and straight lines. Plus, my boss is particular and notices everything. It would have to be perfect! I didn't want to paint because I was afraid I would mess it up. I kept imagining myself having to figure out how to fix the mess I made. But I decided, going into it, that it was going to turn out great. I used a level to tape the walls. I was very careful taping the edges and painting and it turned out near perfect! Nice clean, straight, lines. A square in the middle of his wall. I know this isn't much of a feat to some, but to me it was. It was in the decision I made that it was going to go well. The "just do it." I felt good about it.

Today I have a call and a meeting with a potential new client. My goal is to rock that meeting.
