I hate to admit it, but I TIVO Oprah every day. I'll often watch it in the evenings like tonight when there's nothing much on. Its actually really thought provoking and not just a load of mumbo-jumbo.
Today I watched an interview with Uma Thurman. She talked honestly about the break up of her marriage, the pain she went through, and how she lacked self esteem for months. Now she could be a very good actress (!) but I believed her. She talked about how to forgive and move on.
It raised some interesting points for me not only because like all women I'm sure, I sometimes lack confidence and self-esteem, but also because she talked about how she needed to accept that she didn't always know what was waiting around the corner. That's one of the reasons why I'm enjoying my new job so much - things are going well and I'm contributing and I feel like I am making a difference. I had begun to doubt my own ability in my last job and for too long that made me miserable.
[Here I go again - baring my soul on my blog - didn't I say I would stop doing that!]
However, I also need to learn that I don't know what's round the corner. No matter how much I like to plan and know what I'm doing in 3 weeks, in 3 months and in 3 years, sometimes its ok to not to know.
So here's to not planning...
