In this Journal, I will attempt to strip away my protective veneer to view and communicate honestly what the truth is as I perceive it. My intent is to grow, for without an honest evaluation of the truth, how else can one fully absorb life's more difficult lessons and benefit by them. If I do this in secret, then I am still hiding behind a protective veneer, so it is being published online. If you find this Journal, you are welcome to read it and hopefully grow from it as well.

A Capital Associates Dream From 4/21/12

I dreamt my former partners, Gary and Jack and other Capital Associates employees were waiting for me to begin to sell again as I had for so many years, to bring life back to Capital Associates and to pay its overhead again.

But I no longer wanted to do so. Yet I found it upsetting for what would happen to the company and its employees if I didn't. In this dream, I said to Gary - I was once the greatest telemarketer anyone had ever seen. But now, to myself as I awoke, I thought - who and what am I?

In hindsight, I think this was a fundamental insecurity based upon my no longer selling. If I'm not generating income, who am I? What worth do I really have? And are my selling skills still so sharp, that I could build another company if I wanted to, and attract another strong group of employees?

Yet at this time in my life, this is not what I desire to do, as I strive for personal growth and discovery of who I really am.
