Journal Entry

Aspiration— What do you aspire to achieve and how will define that aspiration help you build a step by step plan to overcome your current challenges or reach a higher potential? I want to be a normal person again. I don’t want people to feel sorry for me nor do I want them to see me as a bad person because I went to prison. I want to show them how I evolved in prison and how I made a step by step plan to overcome the past issues so I can go to my higher potential of being a normal successful person.

Attitude— How can you apply the concepts of the flywheel and the BHAG to build your own momentum and define an inspiring, long term goal one that aligns with your core values and propels you toward reaching your highest potential? Being in here we have to start small as the flywheel slowly starts to turn. Once that wheel turns we have to believe in ourselves to keep the wheel turning in the forward direction because it cam easily stop or reverse, I think for us to be successful at anything we have to be passionate about our success and believe in ourselves. If you believe in yourself then that opens up many opportunities and the motivation to be good at your job and for your family to believe in you.

Action– Think about a current obstacle you face, how you take a proactive step that aligns with your values and long term goals, despite the restrictions or resistance in your environment? My proactive step is to not give up. I know with this I will have an uphill battle. That doesn’t means to stop as it tells me to keep going stronger until you find the person who believes in you because of how much work you put in to be successful.

Accountability— In what area of your life personal, professional or otherwise could adopting a mindset of complete accountability help you most and how would you measure your progress to ensure you stay on track? I accepted what happened and I am going to use that not for people to feel sorry for me or even if they hate me. I want to use this event to take advantage and to learn from my mistake. Then I look back to where I was looking at the progress I made and knowing I am moving forward from where I was.
