Thursday was a day of frustration. I was good on the diet - no issues there. What was frustrating was the call that never came. I had Facebooked with a Speaker Marketing Guru friend of mine who gave me some interesting advice upon my request. I was thrilled she took time with me. She then offered to talk with me by phone the next day (Thursday). I waited all day, not wanting to do anything until I had her thoughts and ideas. about 5, I checked in with her, and she was unable to get with me.
I was disappointed, and a bit angry. Not at her, of course, but at me, and it was, perhaps, an important conversation for me not to have. I was upset at the realization I wasted yet another day waiting for 'approval' from someone. And I knew that the next person could just as easily disagree with HER. That's not how to live a Win Anyway life. Sure, guidance and ideas from others are important, but I should not have let the situation stop me as I did. This is a blog post in the making. We are, however, scheduled to talk Tuesday, so I hope to learn more from her to add onto what I learned from not talking to her on this particular day.
I ended Thurday strong at my Toastmasters meeting - having a ton of fun in the grammarian role, and putting myself within 2 projects of my 2nd Competent Leader award.
Today was a better day. Cross Fit, recorded 2 podcasts that I'm going to keep, even though they are frighteningly authentic (which was the advice I was given), and I've stayed on the diet. The only real failure today? I got the scale out. It was driving me nuts not knowing if I was doing well or not.
