I'd like to revisit success principle #2 - you remember, define your life purpose. I am happy to report that I have recently defined by life purpose. I should say my professional life purpose...my personal life purpose is already stated in a previous post. I cant say that I used the unhelpful exercise in the book, but I have an idea of what I want to do, and how I am going to get there. I think that is what is important - I dont need a constricting exercise to tell me that. The University System of Georgia is going to start a PhD program in Counseling and Student Personnel Services through the University of Georgia. I get to take the online classes for free, and get a degree from UGA. Pretty good deal if you ask me. The whole idea of getting my PhD is both frightening(although I am more scared if I dont start the program) and exciting. It is all I can think about. The program doesnt start until next year, but I already cannot wait. I've always been working towards something...and I think that is what my life is missing...I am living in Limbo right now, doing the same monotonous thing over and over. When I get the degree I hope to stop working in campus recreation (although I love it) and start working in another area of student affairs. I LOVE certain aspects of my job, and by making this move, I can work with only those aspects that I love. You gotta make things happen.
Success principle number THREE (yes! I can move on!): Decide What You Want.
Big Brown won the Kentucky Derby yesterday. Does anyone else shutter when they hear this name? If I had a horse in the Kentucky Derby, I would name it Fried Eggs. Get it?
Countdown until my FIRST triathlon: 3 weeks and 6 days. Yep, just got my bike two days ago...i'm rockin' now!
