1. Spend my afternoon yesterday having lunch with some of the brightest people in NBS.
Had deep conversations about career choices ( choosing between being a top tier manager (CEO, CFO) or a respectable business owner) and life destinies.
2. J, my tutee’s mom, drove me home last night. Spend time at her home after tuition at 7.30. I stayed till 11.30p.m. I asked about several things in her personal life. “Time doesn’t wait,” she said, after I shared some of my thoughts regarding relationships and career choices.
The trend seems clear- If we were to know the value of our time, we will spend it the way we do with things precious to us. I have always known the value of my time ( I calculate it as $X/hr), talking to these guys/lady helps put things in perspective.
3. Jim sent a thoughtful email to FOTS this morning. He included one of my favourite quotes:
Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
—Marianne Williamson
There were things said regarding our personal walk with God.
Many things he said in the email I can relate. I’ve been fortunate to be able to start Bible School this coming Monday. I believe it will help me create a lifestyle of prayer – especially important before I start work formally.
4. Reading Tim Ferriss’ The 4 Hour Workweek and Getting Things Done by David Allen this morning.
Short of saying too much, it is a must-read. Especially if you are busy all the time.
5. Heading to my Mentor’s place in about half an hour – to prepare lunch together at her home and receive the textbooks for SOT. I’m expecting to receive something in the spirit too.
5. Calling W to ask how his life is so productive- having a business and girlfriend while getting a first class honors all at the same time being an undergrad – tonight.
The annointing flows from relationships. My Friday and Saturday morning is up till now, exceptionally fruitful.
How was yours?
