Challenge 121: Go to ICF meeting

May 12, 2010

I am happy to say that I'm feeling much better today. Nothing like a good pout to get you through. I also wanted to check in on my challenge yesterday, which was to write. I will say that I did write, but I can't promise that what I wrote was any good. I realized that I really need to narrow my focus on what I'm trying to say....something I've realized before. I have no problem writing about having a hard time writing!

Today is sunny and warm. The day started with cuddling in bed with the puppy and a great call with my coach. I just love talking to her. Coaching is pretty cool stuff. Today is filled with it. I have my certification call at 1, a supervision call at 4, and an ICF meeting tonight. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to that because I'm not feeling all that great and the girl I was going to go with can't go, but I think it would be really good for me to go. So I'm making it my challenge for the day. I'm sure I could find a million excuses to not go, so maybe having it be my challenge will just push it forward.

I've been thinking about failure a lot lately, and how I'm really bad at it!! When I feel like I'm failing, I just want to run away. But lately I've been realizing that failing is a huge part of growing and learning, and it must happen to get you over the hump towards excellence. Those sounds like just words, even as I'm typing them. Something we've all heard a million times. But right now, for me, it's all really real. The fact I'm not running away is showing me that this is something that is really important to me. Something I want, even though it's kind of painful. I feel lucky to know that.
