Perspective

   This year has been good so far. A couple speed bumps slowed me down a little and a pothole sent me for repairs. Nothing major but it did disrupt my flow and up until then I was on track. Numbers were good (except for RAK).  I will fail on my final numbers, I'm am disappointed with that, but I don't  consider the year failed. It was a little harder than I expected it to be.  Maybe I was a little naïve to think this was going to be easy.  

•     Now how do I make next year better not just for me but more importantly for the team? I heard a few good ideas at Saturdays meeting hopefully we start now and test them,  its never too late to finish strong.    

Why

Why if you can see value in actions is it so hard to follow thru. The value all of our requirements is like a flashing billboard to me yet I struggle with doing some of them. Also the routine I started the year with is gone. It was not that hard to get into it or maintain but once I got out of it , I struggle to regain it. Why? Should I restructure it ? It worked before so it should work again. My struggles right now are obviously all mental.

Motivation

     Haven't blogged for a while , no reason other than lazy I guess. My motivation was at a low for almost everything. Sifu Brinkers pep talk in Fridays class has hopefully changed that for good.

     Why is motivation a constant struggle for me ?

Blogging

          I haven't blogged in two weeks. Mostly because I've been feeling down about the massive amount that I have fallen in behind in completing my requirements. So not blogging made sense ? Fall more behind ! After a couple of emails and a meeting with Sifu Brinker  I am back on track , hopefully to stay on track.
   
     Wish I had more uplifting , encouraging and insightful words to write when I blog but I do not. I believe they will come , they just aren't here yet.

Goals

     I try to re-read my goals for the year each week as a way to help me stay focused. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it slightly changes the direction I'm heading. Either way it helps. A bigger question now is "Will I accomplish what I said I would?"  To be on the positive side , I have not given up yet on any of my goals , I  just have to attack them in a different manner.
     Small deliberate steps are most likely the way to start , they should keep you from feeling overwhelmed at the beginning. Follow it with a plan that keeps you focused with a forward momentum and my list would gradually get smaller.
     I said this when I started and I say it now , but why is it so hard to do? Next year I think I will give myself a timeline to accomplish specific goals , that way with over half the year gone I won't be wondering if its all possible. The path to mastery for me is not an overnight trip with a final destination , it is a journey with no ending.

River Ride

     Went on a tube ride today down the Pembina river for the first time. It was great. One problem though , we picked up a couple of small bags of garbage at the drop off site , it was all we could carry even though there was so much more. Also while floating down the river i noticed that there was a huge amount of garbage left on the bank of the river. It was sad. I can't really believe people think that is OK. The next trip I will be picking up more.

Books

     I have just gone over my requirements for the year and realized that I am failing. It's not even close and I'm definitely going to have to step it up. Starting with reading , I agreed to read 12 books. I typically read a lot but have obliviously been slacking. Any other books you think are worth reading please let me know !
