Baby Steps

"The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. What you become is a result of what you do today." -John Maxwell

I currently work in an environment that is not conducive to personal growth. It can be more than a little frustrating especially now that I'm aware of it. You become what you hang around and I spend way too many hours of the day around people I don't want to turn into. As a matter of fact, I was becoming one of them. But not anymore.

Now, when there's downtime, I read personal development books on my Sony E-reader, check out blogs and scribble in a little Moleskine that I keep in my pocket at work or in my Filofax. I let the rest of them sit around and gossip.

I've created some extra duties for myself but I need to take on some more. So tomorrow, I'm going to look around for something that needs updating, which should take me all of five seconds, and start working on that. I hate feeling unproductive and that was pretty much my morning today. I don't want a repeat experience.

Still waiting on my A5 spring green Chameleon. *taps foot impatiently* Feel like I'm in a holding pattern and it's making me antsy. The majority of my life as been one big holding pattern and I no longer want to wait for my life to start.

Like Mary Morrissey said in Beyond the Secret, "Baby steps will get you all the way up Mount Everest if you just keep taking them."

I'll just keep plugging along...
