Ok so today is day one, and I feel like I always do when I start out a project.  I feel like I can do the whole project in one day, that I can read lots of chapters so it's hard for me to take my time and commit to the process of one day at a time.  I think that was my problem last time, I just jumped in with crazy activity and then got overwhelmed with the information and not being able to figure it out so I stopped.  I'm not going to do that this time.

Also last time I borrowed the book from the library so I didn't sign the commitment page.  I bought the book this time, and signed it today and I'm blogging about it so hopefully I will have some accountability for finishing this time.

I read today that I should take Sundays and several Saturdays off so I will be doing that to follow the process.

The only thing I'm thinking about now is day 47.  I don't know any millionaires or I don't know if some of the people I know are millionaires.  How am I going to meet a millionaire?

I love the part in the book where it says that Americans are defined by what they do.  I ask myself that question all the time "what am I going to do?" and recently when I have been job searching that's how I was approaching thinking about new jobs that I might be good at.  Maybe the reason why American culture is criticized so much by people from other countries is for this reason that Miller points out "We are defined and valued in America by what we do.  Unfortunately, the path to doing something often bypasses the basic questions about being something."

The part I'm most excited about on this journey is figuring out who I'm supposed to be not merely what I'm supposed to do.  No wonder I've been so resistant to change over the course of my life.  If what I'm doing is defining me then no wonder I freak out when something or someone comes along and tries to change that.

That's all I'm going to share with you today.  Come back tomorrow for day two!
