It's a miracle. I have ten minutes before our seminar starts this evening. The topic: Formulating Your Vision. Preparing gave me a chance to look back over my own career change with an open mind. I really have done what we will do together.
Yet nothing is a sure thing as I try to move this business forward. Years and still "on the way." It's still scary some days.
Mostly I thought today, how not perfect I am. In fact, sometimes I wonder if I have the right perspective. Great to be optimistic and energetic to do something new. Something you hope you will respect yourself for.
Yet yesterday (actually this morning with a clear, rested voice), I had a moment realizing that when you get too busy - even pursuing a good dream - you can miss the point of how to interact with others. One of my friends called and I nearly didn't answer because I was focused on something else. OK I did answer. Another friend joined me for dinner, yet I nearly didn't slow down long enough to really listen and learn his view. And he's a good person.
So for sure I was reminded that I may have a "worthy professional goal," but I can still be so darned far away from getting it right. I hope this 10 minutes of writing will help me remember starting tonight, life is about real people who deserve my care and respect.
