Okay! I feel like I'm just getting settled in my seat belt, am adjusting my mirrors, balancing my requisite travel mug full of coffee, I've messed with the radio and successfully made it past that eternal stoplight onto the highway.
Where do I go from here?? Knowing me, I probably need to stop and fill the gas tank before we head out of town but that's beside the point. One might say also that I'd forgotten something and needed to turn around and go back, but it's probably a little early and a little too close to home to have already REALIZED that yet!
I know ultimately I'm (most likely) going to end up at my 50th birthday. I'm just trying to figure out what to program in to the GPS, affectionately known as 'Carmin', so I make sure I see everything I hope to see on the way!
One thing I'm currently working on is another attempt at a paradigm shift regarding my...my.....what?? job? chosen field? career? role? purpose? calling?? I guess that's all a part of what I'm trying to figure out! I've started reading a Kathy Peel book (there's an entire library of them) entitled 'Desperate Households' which lays out a business like approach for establishment of a Family Manager. There are many aspects that really appeal to me for a variety of reasons. First of all, it makes a lot of sense. Second of all, she clearly 'gets it' and has already invented a pretty sharp looking wheel. I think one of the most important things to me though...is that it seems to acknowledge and demand more VALUE. If I can prove to myself that it has more value than I've tended to issue it in my self categorization and evaluation over the years, then that can only help in a myriad of ways if I can successfully shift (this word can get downright ugly in a hurry as a typo!!!) this paradigm in my noggin. Maybe, just maybe, I can take this work...and myself a little more seriously!? Isn't that what grown-ups do??
Sooo, I'll be mulling and pondering my 'mission statement'. Heck, that sounds like the kind of thing I might need a couple of. One for this project and one for this kooky corporation I'm running over here. SERIOUSLY..who would HIRE you for such a position? That's like going back to coach and asking if anyone can fly a 747!! Okay..there goes that tape recorder again! Maybe we can try BUSTING that thing once and for all before my 50th? That's definitely going into the 'goal' bin!! Till then I'm just going to REFRAME & REPROGRAM...
