This evening, as I sat down for a snack of leftovers/pel meni/chicken, I put down my milk & reading materials and began to think. Granted, I’m not very far into the seating, but I realized that I’m not sure that I could clearly articulate what I’m learning right now in life. I know from the laws of life that we must be learning something, and if I’m not, I’m doomed to repeat it, so perhaps it’s worthwhile to note to myself what I’m learning and, maybe if I’m feeling really communicative, why I’m learning it.
The books sitting next to me are as follows:
The first one is in my stack because Brad Wolgamott had recommended it in a training series he was creating prior to being removed from the world of Amway & World Wide Dream Builders. I don’t know all the details surrounding that topic, and I’m sure I could write a whole entry about that, so we’ll suffice it to say that the book is intended to help focus the mind around the mission statement or vision for your life. I don’t recall if I’ve read it before, but I’m reading it now (albeit slowly) and trying to engage in the process of writing my wishlist for life.
Confidence and Power is nearly always close, granted I’ve got books nearby; for whatever reason, it resonates with me and helps me to remember techniques to engage people in a positive way. It helps me to remember my own confidence and the necessity towards a win-win exchange with people.
And, well, the photography book will be my reward for a reading session well done. I love the camera and capturing special images. We’ll see what I learn tonight that might help me in the future.
Oh, and I need to be mindful of reading through the BBBS materials as I’m supposed to be “chairing” the meeting tomorrow night. 🙂
