and reject projects related to developing the career I am involved in currently but moving away from.
Random suggestion: Are there approaches or knowledge from your current line of work which you could record, and later see if they’re useful in the career you’re going into? Or more generally, things you learned which seem generally applicable (about productivity, organization, communication, etc.)?
I started an “accomplishment affirmations” section of my Personal Growth Journal briefly listing what I’ve achieved today.
That sounds like a fantastic idea.*
Intention: I will look for opportunities to take positions of command, such as a boss or team leader. First Step: I guess I’ll make an “aspirations” section in the PGJ. Not sure how to take a more concrete step in this direction.
You could try asking people advice for how to do that.
This image seems both mysterious and harsh to me. I’ve never considered thunder and lightning as symbols of abundance.
Without enough water/rainstorms there is drought.
There’s a time for sober deliberation, and a time for praise and delight in whatever positive outcomes are achieved. I do feel as though I’m focused so much on the former that I’m neglecting the latter.
A very important point, put very well.*
I think this is about taking analysis seriously and putting it into action. Only in this way does thinking matter. I’ve made some important decisions already, and it’s important to implement them and enforce them despite the barriers the world puts up and my own rebelliousness.
Thank you for the ideas and all the positive feedback! I would say that the results of this I Ching run have been quite dramatic so far. I’m excited to make a post about them when they’ve had more time to develop. You’re right that seeking mentorship on taking on more of a leadership role would be a good idea. I’m still exploring what academic training to seek, and actually starting a new career will be several years further down the line—though obviously there will be plenty of important projects in the meantime. However, I do feel confident that I’ve learned a lot from my work as a teacher, and I feel good about the ways they’re applying to my new projects and schoolwork. Sometimes, that only becomes apparent on reflection.
