The final week of my six week Goleman goal has ended. Let me just say, this has really been more than just a class assignment. In the course I was assigned to do make this goal, I have learned so much about the person I am and who I can be. I am a very young woman, at the age of 20 (3 days shy from 21) and yet I feel like I've gone through so much more that I feel older. Experience and having my own crucibles makes you grow up faster, liked I read in this past article from Harvard Business Review, a good leadership skill is to find an opportunity from a negative event. So, I focused on a skill I needed a lot of developing on, Self-Management. Despite the negative end of a relationship I previously mentioned, it allowed me to really develop this skill and better myself. Now a day away from the six week milestone, I truly can say I feel accomplished. In my last post I talked about a phone call I received from that person and that I showed a sign of weakness and took it. We talked, and it was actually quite refreshing. I liked it, I really did. We were talking like civil adults and even caught ourselves laughing a little and making jokes. It's not like all is forgiven and forgotten, but all is peaceful and that is what is important to me. To have a sense of peace within myself and not live with any grudges with relationships that had a negative end or no closure. I have that now, I will receive closure when we meet up in person again and talk. This is a different approach I've never done and a lot of it has to do with the articles I read that I related back to my personal life. However this is merely the end, this is something I will practice for the rest of my life and most importantly, I'm happy again.
