Last blog post! That's an exciting thing. As I reflect over the past semester, I am grateful for the things I have learned in this class. It was a much different experience than I had anticipated when I signed up for it. It was not so much about learning about being an entrepreneur, but more so learning about yourself and finding your life plan.
I liked learning about how others find balance. It was nice to read how so many people struggle with finding balance in their life and that it is pretty much something that is a work in progress. One of the most poignant things about balance, that stood out to me, was from one of the videos. He talked about how we sometimes visualize balance as a pendulum and if the ball is fairly in the center, than we are balanced. He then went on to explain that there will be times when our pendulum goes to one side or the other, but as long as in the long scheme of things you aren't always on one side, then you are balanced. I felt like that was something I needed to hear. I think too often I look at balance as maintaining everything in perfect balance with each other, but that isn't possible to do. Some things are naturally going to take more of my time and that is okay! I have long contemplated going to nursing school but felt like I am not in the time of my life to do so. I have four children (5-10) and it seems like nursing school would take too much time. But, as I thought about this concept of balance, it made me realize that 15 months (the program that I am looking at) really isn't all that long and maybe it would be possible to do.
I really enjoyed that this class helped me look at things more critically and objectively. It made me examine my personal beliefs, my personal goals, my lifetime goals, and the steps that I will take to accomplish those things. I really feel like it also gave me more confidence in myself. I can do more than I think I can.
