I’ve had many but I’d like to share one of mine below!!!
I woke up on this particular morning, pacing up and down as I evaluated my schedule…( I pace up and down alone when I’ve so much ideas inside of me struggling to be birthed)
I saw that if I added more classes to my schedule, my degree completion date will be expedited… Although this will get my schedule completely crowded, but then I get to finish in a few weeks and HALT this extensive daily reading that I’ve been involved in all my life?..but then it came to my mind….
Taking more courses simultaneously in this leadership degree is never before done in the history of the school as it is is designed specially.This is considered a barrier.
I picked up my phone and called a lady in one of the classes that I’m considering…just so I can get insights to the study capacity…
She quickly opposed the idea by telling me it won’t be approved and it’s never ever done.Anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that the word impossible is such a huge burden to me and makes me crave more …
I quickly put a call across to the chairman of the school of Leadership. He sent me an email requesting a meeting. I’ve had several personal insightful and valuable independent classes with him in the past so I thought It would be the same kind of discussion we usually have…. Well I was in for a big surprise….
As I drove into school ,Unbeknownst to me, the address of the meeting was the very formal conference room of the university designed for weighty meetings…
I met seasoned professor David chatting with other professors and we exchanged pleasantries. Then he said… You ready Princess? Surprised again, I said yes! He said let’s walk to the conference room, others are waiting!!At the reaffirmation of the word ”conference room”my legs started wobbling! I had no idea others were involved in this meeting…
My mindset just wasn’t prepared for many people on this day. This was supposed to be a chilled informal meeting with just professor David and I as I thought..
Well we got to a huge conference room with a setting like a huge NATIONAL BILL is about to be passed …. As I looked to the left, the Dean of the school of leadership walked in, the director of business development was already seated and every person who is a decision maker at the university was on the table….I instantly developed severe headache?
My goodness… I wasn’t expecting such involvement and I had planned no speech…
It felt like very cold water had just been poured on me. My head kept pounding and something in me kept saying ”Princess let them know this meeting should be reconvened as you suddenly aren’t feeling ok… It’s just you here and there are lots of them. Their cause will outweigh yours”.While different thoughts were coming up in my head, the organization chair already commenced introduction on the purpose of our meeting… I was left to my faith ,my heart was pounding so fast that I thought they could hear my heart beat…I slowly and steadily called forth Wisdom from God to deliver that which we have convened for.
Within a minute everyone became silent and looked in my direction, waiting to hear me speak….
And then I opened my mouth and started…..I spoke with unshakable calm and clearly articulated the purpose for multiple courses to be introduced into the system to expedite degree.
By the time I was done, we all had a solid understanding established!Documents of approval got endorsed to full effect within two days! I am appreciative and love them for having their values resonate with mine.I’m currently taking multiple courses and I’m particularly loving my CONFLICT RESOLUTION class which happens to be the class where the lady(who told me this is impossible) is in!
As I walked into her class,You should see her excitement and sudden change and respect for possibilities….
Have you something you want to accomplish that is labelled impossible and never been done?? You must take that first step with authentic decision makers !!!
Love you!!
