JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Dream On" by Aerosmith; "Right Now" by Van Halen]
Time to get stoked. Imagine that you have the magic wand. You get to do
or be anything you want to do, and all you have to do is make up your
mind that nothing will stop you.
["WAIT!" they're saying. "We've heard all this crap from motivational speakers! We've seen the posters in the halls! It's bu$%&$t!"]
Try this: What are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want? What
do you want that badly? Does anything matter that much to you? What
might matter that much?
Here's another way to think of it. If you do everything you can, success isn't
guaranteed. But if you don't do everything you can, failure is.
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. From brag sheet to resume
3. Designing your life to support your Big Question/s
4. Your Time Investment Portfolio
POST:
What are your dominant time allocations? How do your habits in time support your goals? (title: I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THIS)
REMINDER:
Please bring your typed, hard copy résumé draft to class tomorrow. Mahalo.
