Your arms are too short to box with God

So one of the major takeaways I got from going to the Singles Symposium was less me and more Him.  I am really starting to get this message as I keep trying to do me, but God keeps telling me and showing me, "Wonderchild I clearly have to knock you upside your head for you to get the message."  Ok, I'll start listening.  Less me, more You

So I am doing a TON of recruiting now for ABC Consulting firm and for Tuck and the tips I have for both are the same.

1) Do basic research online first.  All the stats, basic info etc. you need is there

2) Everybody has a reception, event, something in your area, go and talk to as many people as you can

3) There is a fine line between persistence and stalking

4) Treat every contact as a potential interview

5) Always be yourself.  By pretending to be something you are not, you aren't helping yourself or the firm b/c you will both ultimately be miserable

6) Remember that people are giving of their time.  Respect that

7) Not everything is a good fit, so listen to your gut.

So I went to my best friend's wedding this weekend and it made me an emotional wreck.  It was great to see her in love, and married.  It also brought up a lot of emotions for me on a variety of topics.  I'm still a bit emotionally open.  What it also made me realize is that there are certain parts of your personality that you do and you don't even realize it.  Her sister reminded me of something I said her years and years ago and I still do it!  I also realized some of the habits I've had for years.  Not bad things, but just my idiosyncrasies

I'm also learning that I need to learn to say no.  I actually am starting to feel more comfortable giving up control to someone else.  Developing my relationship with God has helped me with that because I have to give up my control to Him.  But I can trust other people and if something falls apart, then it does.  Delegation is the first sign of that.

I had to let go of a friendship.  While you may fight with your friends and have disagreements and have periods where you might need to be apart, you shouldn't feel bad being someone's friend or be hurt on purpose or be told you are less than you are.  I prayed on it and feel I have made the right decision.
