COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In my pre-blast, I mentioned the need to make hard choices over the next couple months, and I wanted to expand on this just a bit.
I, personally, have been buried with too much stuff. After the relative low of the past couple years, my self-regulation was totally out of whack, and I have said yes to WAY too many things. All good things that bring value when done right, but doing it right requires time to think and plan, which is impossible when there isn’t even enough time to drive between them.
While this is partly a result of a desire to be generous, that isn’t the whole story. When I really scrutinize my inner most thoughts, there are also elements of self-importance, image, and arrogance.
Self-importance in the sense that it is affirming to feel responsible, to have others look to me.
Image in the sense that I want people to see me as the guy who “does it all”. To say things like “I don’t know how you do it”
Arrogance in the sense that I have rather too high an opinion of my own ability and how it compares to others.
In short, it’s ME focused. In F3 we are peer led, not just to make it easier, but because when I give someone else the lead, it gives them an opportunity to develop their skills. It also diffuses the tendency of groups to orbit around strong personalities.
The image that I should be most focused on is the one I project to my 2.0s. I sought involvement because I saw my father as being uninvolved, but now I see that I can be just as disconnected from them when I’m too involved. My attention for them is sacrificed when I must attend to the group.
So now, I find myself working through the new problem, what needs to go.
MOLESKIN:
Just great to be back with the pack.
