2013 New Year Better Me

Often people want to resolve an issue without even identifying a problem..

Often people want to change something about themselves going into the new year.. But how can you appreciate what you want more than what you currently have??...

For once I kinda like what and who I am.. So instead of changing anything about myself for 2013 or my surroundings I'd rather say I want to Improve current abilities, skill sets, relationships, and Enhance God Given gifts, talents, and beauty within AND around me

That has a nice ring to it .. imagine adding on or adding to something with a little beauty, vs doing away with old beauty or , or completely covering up/ recreating beauty.. Seems so artificial.. Aka aka fake.. Ring a bell?..

We need to start thinking transformational, vs Transactional..
Life shouldn't be LEGOS - ridgid tranaactions, ans moves i.e. ill do this and this to look like that or be that ..

It should be more Tranaformational SNOWMAN like.... i.e. how can I shape this to be as good as if not better than alll snowmen before me..

Happy new Year peeps praying for patience for all reading this in addition to the tools needed to carve out your dreams!! Got deep for a min Didnt I..lol

Learning from Problems in the midst of Progress..

Last Spring my job asked me to help out from the internal end Delivering a class where I was also attending as a student. My 5 days of training out of town turned into 7 days of driving in and around DC a day in advance to meet instructors, Paperwork at 6 am Monday before class swapping name tags, confirming hotel cancellations, re printing certificates mispelled,and coordinating a group picture that I almost missed because I was fixing an SD Card all in the name of covering for a coworker in all areas who's father fell ill..
Initially I thought😬 Ugh I'm always the skape goat, do they appreciate what I'm even doing etc😕. I had one of two decisions say forget it , or humbly get it done to the best if my ability, with the best of my abilities.. I hate half a** work.. Especially if My name is on it... All and all in the end things essentially went well because I followed through , found out the processes, and completed them all appropriately & we were successful.. And I was deep down happy Incould help.
Fast forward to last month my job recently announced "Each of you in this team will have to run a class from beginning to end this Fiscal year.. " Imagine my surprise as half if the things I would have been complaining about not getting training on and having to "Figure out" God gave me a crash course in advance.. I know people say Your Test is the beginning of your Testimony... But UNTIL YOU simply and humbly go through your struggles in life ( remembering we ALL HAVE struggles) with the same heart you face your Loves and passions with you won't realize that you need to NOT be mad at the PROBLEM! You must DECIDE to learn from its PURPOSE, or you'll never REALIZE the struggle is the beginning of your PROGRESS ..
Now I have the power.. If I had gone through the class refusing to help, ignoring processes, and bickering , or accepting the task begrudgingly.. I wouldn't have learned anything, and I'd be in Struggle #2 vs Success #2

Thx for listening.
Create a quality day..
If you see typos.. Yes I'm human..
That is all
