My journeys thus far in life have often ended up in a different destination than the one I set out to find in the beginning. Sometimes these alternate destinations were not apparent until I actually reached the end, other times as I take the first steps I realize that the adventure will look completely different than I had expected. This course, I can tell, will easily fall into the later category. I didn't know much about the class, but I expected to learn a lot of information about running a business. As I began the readings and videos provided in the course a new destination started to form. I realized that I would learn more about myself than any business. Inevitably, this understanding caused my stomach to do some flips and flops. Do I want to undertake a deep study of myself? Will I have something within myself that sets me apart from the crowd and give me the advantage? Can I really make the time to invest in myself? These are uncomfortable questions for sure, but as I continued to learn about making life plans, keeping journals, dreaming big, and persevering through trials my feelings changed to excitement. I believe that I have something great in me. I believe that with the right training and instruction that I can find that greatness and use it to help the world around me. I hope to learn these things in this class. Whatever the final destination of taking this class may be, I know I will be changed in the journey.
