A reoccurring theme showing up for me lately is: take risks. My pastor addressed this topic on Sunday, saying that within the risks is where growth occurs. I really love that. After all, who wants to live a life of stagnation? I think of a murky, bacteria-filled swamp compared to a fresh, bubbling brook. Which one would you rather drink from?
I have heard the popular Mason Cooley quote, "'Why not' is a slogan for an interesting life," but up until now, I've paid it little mind. Now that I am turning 35 and ready to start really living, however, I have decided to answer the majority of questions presented to me with those two words: why not?
This weekend I applied for a Program Director position within my school. I may not be totally qualified, and it's three pay grades higher than my current position, but why not? Why not try? Why not get my name out there? Why not nail the interview, accept the position, get a big raise to go along with my new powerful title, and be the most amazing director that my school has ever seen? Why not?
Today I purchased a Groupon to take the courses necessary to obtain a PMP certification. Why not? Project management is a hot topic in research. Why not better myself? Why not obtain new skills that may improve my job performance? Why not add some extra initials behind my name? Why not?
I've only just begun on this journey of becoming more fully alive, but already it is feeling so good!
satta king A great photography tip that can help you out is to be realistic about your work. You can't expect to be a creative genius at all times. Art has a lot of ups and downs and if you're expecting to always be on top, you'll become very discouraged. play bazaar
