Starting For Real

So I started my new job Monday (at the American Heart Association), and today is Tuesday. I have worked there for two whole days. They have been the two best days of work I have ever had in my career LIFE. The one good thing I can say about my oppressing/ demeaning old job is that it has instilled an appreciation for a good job like nothing else could have.

I finally feel like I am doing what I am meant to do. This is the type of place where I can excel because of my natural talents. I can definitely say that my new co-worker are absolutely incredible. I love the event I am a part of planning, and I love love love having my own office! 

My goal is to work hard, learn as much as can, exceed my expectations, and be a hugely valuable asset to the American Heart Association.

Oh, did I say how much I love my new job? Because, I love it a bunch!

Dreams #Trust30

Write down your top three dreams. Now write down what’s holding you back from them.

1. Working at a Non-Profit
2. Being a comedian
3. Make a Difference

What hold me back, is experience, commitment, money, and courage.

Weird Things I Judge People For. (Even though I Don't Judge)

Good Things

• If you think Chelsea Handler is funny
• If you believe Hillary Clinton is awesome and has the answers to all this counties issues  
• Knowing that racism is still every evident in today's society and you recognize the difficulties of be black or another marginalized culture
• Laughing often
• Loving me

Bad Things

• Being consistently negative
• Letting you dog/pets touch me
• Not being open to suggestion
• Thinking that black people get special treatment for being black

My Family Reunion

Okay, okay. I am not much of a family person, well I mean I am not much for my family. I love other peoples family.

Fear #Trust30

Is fear holding you back from living your fullest life and being truly self expressed? Put yourself in the shoes of the you who’s already lived your dream and write out the answers to the following:
 Is the insecurity you’re defending worth the dream you’ll never realize? or the love you’ll never venture? or the joy you’ll never feel?
 Will the blunder matter in 10 years? Or 10 weeks? Or 10 days? Or 10 minutes?
 Can you be happy being anything less than who you really are?
 Now Do. The Thing. You Fear.

I am a victim to my own fears. I know I should know better but, facing your own fears alone is not always fun or easy. And, to just be honest I very much enjoy fun and easy. In fact I very much prefer fun and easy.

I am definitely a person who suffers from the need of approval. As shocking as it may sounds. Yes, I care what people think (for the most part). I love to be loved.

It is that need for acceptance that keeps me form 'stepping out of the box' I guess.

Glen Evans a work in progress.

At the moment I can deal with this. I am use to this.
