Week 2: even better!

The readings for this week have inspired me to dig even deeper into myself. Robinson states that "if you can change your mind, you can change your life." Isn't that a true statement! I've been making an effort to do this in my everyday life. I have been trying to look at situations I'm encountering and trying to talk myself out of dreading it or being put out. It's much easier said than done but I am trying!! I wrote down a lot of quotes from these two chapters and failed to write down the pages, but I really felt that he was talking to me! Sometimes, I allow myself to fall into despair about my situation (being a day to day substitute teacher after having the two long term leaves at the Middle School) and I really feel that I needed this book to lift me up some days, it's really inspiring reading about all of these famous people! Not that I think my life will ever turn out like theirs, but Robinson is saying a lot that I needed to hear! On page 102, "if I didn't have to worry about making a living or what others thought of me-what am I most drawn to doing." I read this about two days ago, and have been pondering it....I think I would bake.
