Strength of my life
Sunday, August 10, 2014- Write a summary of the Lynda.com Article Writing class that I saw.
- Read and document things from the EPH Training Forum, and complete reading the basic Writer's Manual.
- BerkeleyX: ColWri2.2x Principles of Written English
- HarvardX: GSE2x Leaders of Learning
- Write reviews of books I have set out to read.
Today did not go well. I spent the day spazzing and moping. That's my bad. I tried doing the Leaders of Learning class. I was too spazzy to get anything done. I completed the introduction. I was going for completing the 1st quadrant of the materials. Its awesome I tell you. I guess, it's better than nothing.
I tried reading a book to review. I only completed the first chapter, because I find it hard to concentrate with people running all over the place. My mind clears out only after midnight, which is awful. I need to become a day person, but I can't think at all during the day.
I got distracted because I was telling my Mama about Virtual Assistants. So, I got completely sidetracked researching about it. The idea is convenient because you never have to leave home to commute through difficult traffic, no office politics, you don't have to dress up at all and stuff. At the same time, it gets really lonely being alone all the time, it's difficult to get started and learn everything, and you have to work hard marketing yourself to find good clients, meaning doing this is rather unstable as opposed to working in a company. The thing is, its easy to find clients as long as you have the skills to back it up. So, skills and work ethics are the most important issue. Marketing is easy, content is king.
I have zero self-efficacy. All my efficacy I got from the Holy Spirit.
I really need to focus. I said I wanted to work on being a writer which is not going particularly well, considering the amount of progress I've been making. Huhuhuhuhuh! Wriitng is easy. Getting ideas for things to write about is hard! I need to build a portfolio. I got some tuts about indesign and illustrator. My bane. I still can't use the pen tool even after 10 years! After I learned using the Pen Tool, I can die and go somewhere. Just kidding. I want to be a super VA. Looks tough, though. Focus on one thing.
I deleted all my techie science hoard today, which made me cry. It took me three years to hoard all that stuff! Most of them puts me to sleep though, so I guess it's about time I stop being a hypocrite. I got word about it. Sort of. I'm not sure anymore! I might just be riding on somebody else's passion. I live in a nerdy community of sorts. I got word that I should go teach, but I've stopped tutoring because
a) my company quit giving me students to teach.
b) they haven't paid me anything yet
c) I get really good grades, but I think I'm failing at it, because I'm not sure any of the people I've been teaching learned anything substantial from me.
I'm failing really hard because I'm doing it for the wrong reason. The only reason you should only do anything for is for love! Because you love it! Because you want to serve the King of the universe. Everything is from, by, through, and for Him alone. He knows when you don't enjoy Him. Everything should be for Him because you love Him. I feel far from Him. I miss Him. I am in tatters without Him. I am in tatters.
