Frustration Continues

The complexity of a dissertation and the process that's required only a few understand. The online platform provides little real-world assistance or support. You don't have the traditional classroom set-up which provides an environment to reach out to your neighbor, touch your instructor, or sit down and look another person in the eye that feels what you feel. I'm pretty frustrated hoping that it will all go away...I planned that this would have already been done..years ago...sealed...complete..and moving forward in life.

I seriously consider quitting daily, constantly. There is so much to do and consider and prepare and coordinate...I don't know if I can or if I'm willing to tread this water. Daily I hope that the new day will create new "juices" but all it does is reflect another day of reflection with no progress. My frustration continues...

Back to the Drawing Board

So after all these years all this time making it up to the end of this journey, I discover that I've made a mistake in the selection of my tool. One that renders the entire study invalid if I continue. Why was this not discovered, why was this not caught, who is supposed to be guiding me on this journey? I'm filing a formal complaint but ethically I can't continue in the same manner as before. So, to start the dissertation over? Ugh, that's vicious and I'm definitely not looking forward to it at all but I've spent alot of time and money. My next mission will be to skew my study which meets the proper requirements...eh, we will see...

Book of Sadiq

**Validation and Perception**

Book of Sadiq: Proverb 21

We all seek validation through others. This validation is sought personally and professionally. True validation is internal to oneself. This validity derives from constant self-analysis, self-reflection, and of course self-revalidation.  

Explanation of Proverb:
OTHERS will often tell you who YOU are as a person but only YOU have the ABILITY to understand who you truly are and how to best improve yourself. Take note of the good as well as the bad and try to be better each day.
