Through a seminar on Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility I was asked to describe my personal social responsibility (PSR) strategy. I explored my own core competencies, core objectives, and life goals and came up with this poem to express it all creatively:
Leave it better than you found it
Live BIG.
Bigger than you ever dreamed…
…with smaller footprints in your wake.
Footprints shaped by your actions,
and inactions.
Act WISELY.
With wisdom to rescue what we once had,
the natural beauty and bounty of this earth.
Act NOT on false wants,
society's pressure to have more and be more.
Be but who you are.
Through you we can all be different.
Affect CHANGE.
Change that shakes others
to their very core.
Change that challenges the very ideals
on which we base our existence.
Do not OBEY.
Do not SETTLE FOR LESS.
We have but one life.
One opportunity.
One earth.
She is more delicate
and resilient
than we all give her credit for.

Don't want to die young
So I went to the doctor to explore some wrist pain after a bike accident I had and discovered for the third time that my blood pressure was slightly elevated. What that means is that I have prehypertension. I'm not a big fan of this, and know that high blood pressure runs in my family, so I am determined to do everything in my power to make sure I don't have a heart attack young. The only prescription (without taking drugs) is to exercise 30 minutes a day. I hate running, but without my bike currently its the only option I have. I got up early today and ran for 30 minutes in the cold North Carolina morning. And I will be doing the same every other day before I ride to school.
It really actually freaked me out knowing that I could get high blood pressure. I don't want to die young, but the only cure is to exercise and lose weight. The idea of losing weight makes sad. I hate deprivation, but I guess I just have to reframe it. And wouldn't you know the morning that I am determined to start my new eating habits, one of my group members brings Krispy Kreme doughtnuts for breakfast. I guess its a real test. I haven't eaten one yet, but we'll see. Being fat is not on my list of things to do for 2010, and I am in fact still 5lbs lighter than this time in 2009, so I guess that's good.
Anywho, if you want to help motivate me in some way, I'm open!
