I find that, like you, there is not always enough action behind my commitments. On another note, do you have a workout video that you've come to love enough to recommend?

(and I am so glad your exercise is going well now!)<br />Compelled - that does have a different feeling. Does it mean motivated? Does it mean I-just-can't-help-myself-I-have-to-do-it?

I think your distinction here is far more thoughtful and more useful as I consider what I am compelled to do. Thank you for this. I'm so glad the SOL challenge has you writing so much!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725549451973770515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760018118498685466.post-47017972004695230952016-03-08T16:42:52.178-05:002016-03-08T16:42:52.178-05:00Love this Karen - so thoughtful.

I have lots of goals and things I am working on but being a mom and working seems to take up most of my space. I agree as a profession we need to take more action on things. Even vision statements tend to just get created and then lost. What compels us? Great question for a faculty.<br />ClareClare Landriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413627163568088181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760018118498685466.post-81927550960799822722016-03-08T14:40:44.938-05:002016-03-08T14:40:44.938-05:00This is an interesting and valid distinction - com...This is an interesting and valid distinction - compelled somehow seems to come from deep within us,<br />and therefore more lasting.
