So on the fifth day, I slept 12 hours…..so that day does not really count.
So now that makes today the real fifth day, and with a mulligan here I have accomplished all eight goals except being on time to work again…..like five minutes late. The reasons for this 21 day challenge are to improve in these eight areas. Seven out of eight is not perfect, but it is progress, and by my 30th birthday, these goals are going to be habit because I spent a year of my life pursuing a Happiness Project to glorify God!
This year I have really learned a lot about leadership, those who stink and those who rock! I have observed that in my own opinion the leaders who stink are those who ignore their followers. I also have lost respect for leaders who waffle day to day, meaning those who act differently based on stress, anxiety, or their mood – LAME! We are we are. So fake does not fly by with me. I understand that we have good and bad days, but I think it speaks well of a leader to maintain tranquility – maintaining composure. We should lead effectively in the same manner despite the storms that surround us.
It is funny how leaders around me are teaching me what I do not want to be like and what I do based on their good or sometimes bad examples…..funny how that works! Those who are miserable with their lives tend to make the worst leaders. You have to find contentment somewhere in-between the routine day to day progress. I will not check email, make phone calls, and perform monotonous data entries for the rest of my life…..
I can’t, and I won’t. I believe God made each and every one of us to do more than we settle for. If my own father will attest to anything, it is the fact that I will not settle. I want the best God has in store for me, or I do not want it at all. I think you know what I mean.
