The Best Thing I've Learned in College

One semester, I had the pleasure of having an Okie for my professor. He cared for us students and instilled information and ideas in us like no other professor I've ever worked with. I don't remember his name because he had us students call him "Woody." Of all the knowledge I've stuffed into my brain over the years with college and licensing exams and certifications.....Woody shared something with us on the last night of class that will forever stick in my brain. He told us "other people will gladly plan your life for you if you let them."

let that ferment for a moment.

It goes along the lines of "we treat people how to treat us." So if you let someone run your life and control your schedule and consume your energy, they will. And to some, it may feel like a selfish act to stand your ground and look out for yourself (that's the case for me) but some things have really opened my eyes over the past two days and I'm taking control of my life...now...right now...ooohhhh yeeeaaahhh. (Thanks, Tom Petty) This week, don't be a pushover. Control your own resources.
