I Am A Work In Progress

Day 312: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is
our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most...We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson, American author and lecturer

I awoke today exhausted from the past three day's but knew I needed to push myself to move forward. I have been trying to shrug off the feeling of failure for not posting two of my assignments in time for my first week of class..let it go, let it go. I had to read three chapters each for my Executive Leadership course from, " Developing the Leader Within You " by one of my most favorite authors, John c. Maxwell and the other one was " The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene.

I'm have been a John Maxwell fan for over 10 years and we're actually reading from his "Failing Forward" book each morning on the Inspirational Morning Vitamin for my ZamZuu business. "The 48 Laws of Power" was introduced to me several year's ago by my son as he was fascinated by the information. When I was at my last position he tried to instill in me the First Law-Never Outshine The Master." I understood the law but was never able to totally make the transition of denying who I was so someone else could feel better about themselves.

Had I been able to abide by Law 1- and make my superior appear more brilliant than they were it states that I would attain the heights of power. I didn't abide by Law 1 and decided I was tired of standing in someone else's shadow so they could feel good about who they were. Law 2 states, that you should Never Put Too Much Trust In Friends, you should Learn How To use Enemies. I agree with this in theory but again have not been able to apply this to my thinking.

I committed myself to doing cardio twice a this week and walked 3- miles in this morning and another 3 miles tonight. One day down and counting
