Last night, we had some friends over and I'm sure it was fun. However, this morning I reflected on my performance and realized that I was too full of stories about what I thought; what I'd accomplished; what I was all about. It was disappointing to see in my mind's eye, how I didn't invite the involvement of others, yet again.
As I began to think about my new priorities and what I could do better in the future, I realized that I simply need to invest in myself so that I can give to others and be accomplished in my career. That led me to want to revise my approach with my new priorities (e.g. 1. treat myself as a resource; 2. spend time with fam/friends; and, 3. invest in a career that doesn't hurt the above).
I realize now that investing in myself so that I can give to others and be accomplished in my career opens the door for new benchmarks and accountabilities, which I will soon develop and implement.
In the meantime, people really dont care what I've learned about being more functional, as I've noted before. I need to be allowing / inviting them to express themselves and talking about experiences, not personal development cycles.
