live my life by answering this question every day: "what would you do if you knew you could not fail?"

Let’s think about this, if I am more open and honest with this friend, the person will either continue to like me for who I am, or not like me. Either way, I am being me, and then it’s up to them if they want to like me or not.

I guess I answered my own question. Either way I can’t fail because in the end, I am who I am, and if someone doesn’t like me, then I guess there’s not a lot of point in being friends.

Work, I always seem to come back to work. I have been trying to get some people to understand that things need attention and my efforts are now getting me labeled as “outspoken” and critical. Pointing out problems and offering solutions isn’t critical in my book. I guess it is in others’. If I knew I couldn’t fail, I would talk to the people who could create the change needed and let them know the problems I see and possible solutions.

Work has become stressful because it is not being run properly. Unfortunately, this is mostly out of my control. I’m not enjoying work – in fact I don’t want to go to work most days. So, I should find another job. The worst that happens is I decide to stay with the known…

I would be honest with people and tell them how things are (from my point of view) so they could decide the best plan of action. If I knew that I couldn’t fail that is. Because if it backfires, then I am doomed. How can you get someone to see what is really going on around them when people keep telling them what they want to hear?

and explain how I feel about some decisions that he has made lately. I’d like to know the rational he has for making the decisions…

I will do this but first I need to write out what I want to accomplish so that I have a plan to follow. This way, I can keep my emotions in check and (hopefuuly) prevent saying something that I may regret.

So, I’m going to take a chance and do so tonight. It’s not much money and could be what I need to jumpstart my enthusiasm.

this opens up such possibilities.

learn Spanish
start a small business
ride a bull
talk to my mentor honestly
cook dinner for friends
interview for another job
talk to someone I didn’t know very well but whom I liked
tell people how I really feel about things
take a class that challenged my abilites

that’s a good start.

my start date. I’ll have to think about this and see where it takes me.
