“Process saves us from the poverty of our intentions”

Came cross this quote as I’m reading The Practice by Seth Godin.

I will be chewing on this for a while. 🤯

I DID THAT IN A WHOLE PANDEMIC 👩🏽‍💻

I’m halfway through my program @kenzieacademy and happy to celebrate getting my front-end web dev certificate.

It feels good to celebrate a win after the wild ride of 2020.

Now on to the next, python and SQL here I come! #DEV #success

Reflection:

- stay ready so you don’t have to get ready
- don’t underestimate the daily routine
- How are you preparing for “chance” ?

Yesterday I watched a show and the coach said:

“𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱”

To encourage athletes to continue working hard even when they don’t feel like it, because all the work they put in will lead to great and unexpected plays on the court

Approaching the end of my 1st Quarter @kenzieacademy and I am:

*Realizing imposter syndrome is real but that’s ok
*Relearning how to learn
*Embracing how to fail forward / start messy
*Leaning on community
