Appreciation

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Well today I’ve been reflecting on how good things can be.

I have been very frustrated with myself that I haven’t been meeting or exceeding expectations I put on myself. I’ve been not focusing on the job at hand, or focusing on things I want to do in life, and it gets to you.

Tommorrow, I cancelled my flight lesson, tennis, and taking a bit of a time out. I think I need to have a day where I can reflect on what is good in my life. I also need to help out a few of my own clients I have neglected, so I have reserved Thursday to help them out too without being on the run to be elsewhere.

Where I work (my regular job), I have an awesome team of people. I can honestly say I love them all. We work well together, we have common goals, common values, and mutual respect for each other. But I know if I am not at peace with myself, I don’t appreciate them like I should, and I don’t interact well them, and get easily distracted, which leads to frustration on my own behalf. Obseving Rob mentor a new staff member tonight, I know I have to be more patient with people. I also need to take some time to let them know that I appreciate them not just as co-workers, but as friends too.

On Friday I want to have re-priorotise my agenda, be prepared to change them as needed, but more importantly, help people that are most in need of helping. Give them the time they need. I can see that the team of people I work with have great potential to do their job well, but with my experience, I feel obligated to dedicate more time in helping of the newer team members. So Thursday for me is preparing for this also. Please wish me well.
