Join me on this Journey? Personal Growth and Development – Day 11
Today was tough for me in terms of my personal growth and development. I left the office on Friday FLYING…. Really FLYING. Today I struggled. It goes back to mindset.
For the weekend, I coasted… and I coasted right back to being “realistic.” Today I suffered for this mistake and never will I make the mistake of coasting again. Literally, this day was practically lost because of my mindset. All day I struggled with self doubt and self pity. The irony is that although that is not the person I choose to be, I could not pull myself out of it all day, even thought I started with church, affirmations, and knew, the entire day, that my energy was off.
I’m finally sick of it, and it’s 10:30 p.m., my whole family is asleep and I just read out loud scrolls 1-5 out of “The Greatest Salesman in the World” by Og Mandino. This finally did it… thank you Og. Here is an excerpt for you:
“Today I begin a new life. Today, I shed my old skin, which hath, too long, suffered the bruised of failure and the wounds of mediocrity. Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all. Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard, for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me, generation upon generation. The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity, yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed were they piled one atop another, would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth. Yet, I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts which will guide me through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream.”
Wow… I love that.
