Pressure

We had our monthly I Ho Chuan meeting yesterday.  Lots was discussed but once again we have a lot a work to do and not a lot of time to do it.  Why is this the same every year?  Why is it that we have to have pressure applied before we get the best out of people?  I know that for me this is how I have always been.  I think I perform best when I'm under pressure.  However this is something I'm working to reduce.  I'm working to reduce the extreme's from my life and so far in the short period of time I feel the benefits.  I 'm feeling less pressure and less stress.  This is harder to adjust to than I envisioned as I have always been a person of extremes.  Extreme high's when things are going good and extreme low's when they aren't.

When it comes to the Chinese New Year's celebration and the preparation, we need to do a better job as a team.  I don't know what the answers are but as a member of the Horse Team for next year this is something I'm going to work on.  I'm learning to enjoy this new way, this way of less peaks and valleys.  I'm going to continue to develop this as the year of the Snake closes and the year of the Horse starts.
