Project 7:15

As I enter into my second year as an uncertified life coach, I am becoming more comfortable with people not only listening to and taking my advice, but also with them actually trying to be like me.  True uncertified life coaching credibility, however, will always elude me until I undergo an A. I. T., an Amazing and/or Inspiring Transformation.  I need to change myself in a very obvious and public way over the course of a set amount of time.  I need to begin as person ‘A’, and then, by a combination of ‘B,’ ‘C,’ and even ‘D,’ become the person I was always meant to be:  ‘E.’ 

With this in mind, then, today we initiate Project 7:15.  Project 7:15 is a year-long journey of self-discovery that will most likely amaze and inspire anyone wise enough to pay attention to it.  Project 7:15 begins today, on July 15^th, hence its name, and it will continue until July 15^th of next year.  That’s right.  An.  Entire. Year.

What will Project 7:15 entail?  Well, that’s really rather simple.  Beginning today, I will begin to engage, fight and eventually defeat one of my worst vices:  midnight cookie binging.  You probably don’t know this, but I eat cookies.  Many of them, usually between midnight and two in the morning.  I do this with milk and silence.  I feel terrible about it because the cookies are supposed to be shared with my whole family but they aren’t because after about three days they are totally gone.  I have eaten them. 

Granted, I took a pretty big risk sharing this information with you.  After all, what kind of uncertified life coach engages in such selfish and uninspiring behavior?  One who runs the very serious risk of losing his uncertification.

Thus, beginning today, the battle begins.  

Today we start the long struggle against my very own cookie monster.
