Day 13: Action

When it comes to aspirations, it’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen. What’s your next step? (Author: Scott Belsky)


This one is easy! I have been talking about going back to get my doctorate for the past year. I even have the program identified and have gone to a preliminary informational session. I know I want to do it. Yet, I keep procrastinating the completing of the application. Not sure why. Maybe I'm afraid of failure. Or possibly afraid that I am yet again making an emotional decision and not thinking it all the way through. Ultimately I will be committing about 6 years of my life to complete this. But I love school and am thrilled by the opportunity to expand my education. So, my next step in 2011 is to complete and submit the application. Afterall, who knows if I'll even get into the program and/or qualify for the financial aid I will need to actually take the classes? I won't ever know unless I turn in the application!
