Day 7: From where I am to where I want to be

On Day 4, I went to the library and borrowed four books on an array of topics to help me on my quest.

General Marketing Strategy
Guerrilla Marketing Strategy
Yogic Lifestyle
Storytelling

It’s now Day 7 and I’ve read one chapter of three of my books respectively and I’ve not touched the fourth. I’ve learned a few things:

I know more than I thought I did
There is so much more to learn
I need to create an environment that fosters success

This week, I ate out for lunch everyday only went to the gym on Day 6 and today, Day 7. On a positive note, I read one of my marketing books at the local Starbucks and had a great conversation about relationships and astrology signs with one of the employees. Sharing experiences and conversing with different people are valuable assets for all three of my disciplines. Today, I went shopping at my local grocery store (which kinda sucks) and bought cleaner healthier food for this weeks lunch.

My yoga book deconstructed the disciple into three components:

Physical – The moves and the breath
Spiritual – The philosophic lessons and meditation
Lifestyle – Ayurveda or holistic living

Luckily for me, I’ve studied basic Ayurveda on my own, learn transcendental meditation in a class and have a Yoga X dvd. I’m totally unfit and will be eating and going to the gym to support my ability to perform the lifestyle and physical aspects of yoga from now on. I will also resume my twice daily meditations.

Next week, I will read more of my yoga and marketing books while taking notes.The reading of my storytelling book will most likely begin at the end of the week.  I feel hopeful about the way I’m spending my time. I no longer feel like my days are drifting away from me – wasted. I’m one week closer to becoming a master.
