I finished reading the chapter on competence in one of my leadership books. It was very interesting because I could see how that applied to me, especially today. I'm obviously mot competent enough because I let every emotional thing control what happens in my life. Even my mom knows that. I also don't go the extra mile that often anymore, even when I do feel at my personal best. There really isn't any reason why I shouldn't be putting the best effort I can put into my work, especially the things that are important to me.
I really should expect more from myself. I'm more capable than I think I am. I think that I found out a long time ago that it really didn't hurt to be at the level of what's average-ly accepted. And it was just so comfortable that it turned into a habit.
So now that I realize that, I know what's keeping me so low and I know what to do now. This is a lot of momentum building up right now so after I write this entry I'm going to get up and do something productive and give it a 110% effort. Here I come. Three. Two. One...
Go.

>> The surgery that Vincent undergoes to increase his height in the movie Gattaca. It's named after the Russian doctor who invented it 40 years ago to treat dwarfism. This painful operation adds length by allowing new bone to grow in the gap left by gradually seperating ends of the broken bone. The patient's shinbones are cut in two, a brace is applied and metal pins would pull apart the bones a millimetre each day. Risks include feet permanently turned at odd angles, twisted legs, and weakened bones that break again and again.
>> What I did in June of 2005. I tell people it's either a rock climbing and/or car accident.
