living up to your ‘potential’, and how it was complete BS. I couldn’t agree more. Who’s deciding this potential? Is is an expectation due to my surroundings? Family? What else?
What I find funny about that ‘potential’ that some people accuse others of not reaching is that, it’s always the potential for good. What about my potential for negative things? Self Destruction? Because I’ve shown more people that potential than anything else.

I’ve been reading a lot on how my generation (I’m on the cusp of X and Y, according to people who decide such things) makes less than their parents, and how we’re not able to save for retirement and whatnot.

Given that my boss and I have more of a friendship / mentor relationship that an employer / employee relationship, I really do value his opinions and feedback.
Holly over at WorkLoveLife has begun to blog about being accountable in the various aspects of her life. It’s quite an ambitious goal, given the transparency that the internet can either give, or hide. But I admire it.
For me, I have quite a few people I’m held accountable to. As a former boss put it, I have a “board of directors” in my life. Every successful business has one, why not a successful life? Here’s mine:
