This Is Me ... or is it?

 I am participating in a leadership program called SOAR for Women. 

We met on Friday. The session focused on goals and one of our exercises was to set 10 goals then select the one that, if achieved , would most impact our lives. Then we selected one more goal from the list that would greatly impact our lives. We should spend most of our time and energy focused on these tow things.

Another exercise is to create a vision board. This is supposed to reflect my perfect life. I have gotten mine started. We will present them when we meet in Atlanta in June. I titled mine "This Is Me" and chose adjectives that I would like to describe me. They don't, but remember, this is my idea of a perfect me. My adjectives are Courageous, Compassionate, Controlled, Committed, Creative, and Calm. What adjectives would you use to describe your best self?

Over the past 4 months, SOAR has consistently shown me that I am not who I want to be. This month I was reminded that the reason I'm not who I want to be is because I am focused on lots of things that don't contribute to me growing into the person I want to be.

I will share one of the questions that put things in perspective for me.

"If you had $20 million in your bank account and only 10 years to live, what would you do?"

I realized that I am not doing anything to become who I want to be. Did I already say that?

I may share my goals and my thoughts about who I want to be...or I may not. Either way, I won't share it tonight. Just thought I WOULD share the question that sparked me to ask "What am I doing with my life?"
