So why can’t I train my for Level 2 Professional Ski Instructor’s Exam continue to teach beginning skiers, pass my two-day long Children’s Specialist Instructor Exam (done), write emails to all my son’s teachers, clean the house, finish writing my memoir, get offered a book contract, arrange the Jane’s Stories Press Foundation volunteer schedule to staff our table in Chicago for the convention for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), make inexpensive travel arrangements from a ski resort to Chicago to the the convention center, and still find the energy to write a well-researched blog post on “Courage,” as exemplified by every one associated with the Somalia Hostage Rescue?
Three answers: Over-achieving goal-setter; Academy Graduate; and having my Priorities Straight. Oh, I guess those answers are redundant.
