Confessions are overrated. Technically I DID make it from the hotel room to the car without playing a slot machine. But that was after I hit the penny slots. You see... The casino gave me $100 slot play voucher. What was I to do? The good news is I made it out of the casino without losing any of my own money. I call that success.
On a serious note...I told you I am reading the book, The Speed of Trust. It is causing me to pause and reflect on my own trustworthiness. I realize that I am lacking in personal credibility. How do I know I am lacking? Because I took the self-analysis, and it told me so. I have high credibility in my "capability," but scored low in "personal" credibility. I am not pleased about that. So... one of the ways to increase our personal credibility is to make a commitment to ourself and follow through on it. I decided I should start with the health plan competition I agreed to take part in with my daughter. So.... tomorrow I will begin to take the competition seriously. I'm not looking forward to that... because a) I love coke, and b) it's dark when I get off work, so walking is out of the question. The point is.... if you can't make good on the commitments you make to yourself, how can you be trusted to make good on those you make to others?
Ugh! Why did I have to start reading that book?
