Hmm it seems hard to concentrate today with all of the things going on. My job is very busy indeed and on top of that the work on my coaching diploma is building up. The coaching diploma work itself is really interesting - I love reading in and around the subject, and I LOVE coaching, I am learning so much about myself, about other people, about how good, successful people get to be that way, it’s all so fascinating. Trouble is, my day to day job gets in the way!
I can’t remember who it was who said “if you do a job that you love then you’ll never work another day”, and it doesn’t really matter because there are certain things I do at work, at home, where time has no meaning, and I love doing them so much I forget to eat, drink, or stop for a comfort break until the emergency “overlimit” switch on my bladder picks up the batphone and calls my brain.
It seems really disappointing to me that somewhere out there I can’t just get paid to learn. That is, to learn whatever I want, no master, no demands, just go out and pick up a book, learn something, go and practice it, find someone who is brilliant at it, and learn some more from them. Of course if a job like that was available then everyone would want it, right? Wrong. Fortunately not everyone is me and for that at least I am thankful. I suspect my wife is too, she doesn’t need anyone else in the world not putting handles on wardrobe doors.
The next step is starting to take shape. I’ve drafted out my thoughts and I’m sharing them with a few friends, and then at some point my plans for world domination will make their way on to this blog. Don’t hold your breath though, 1) because it might not be as good as you think and 2) i’m not imposing any time limits. Good ideas become great applications with considerable sweat, toil and testing. At least, that’s my belief and I’m happy to be limited by it at this point.
