Taking a week off from a hectic work schedule has allowed time for reflection. I found myself concluding that only I can determine what is right for me. I've spent most of my life allowing society to tell me what direction to take, worrying about perceptions, expectations. And for what? Well...I've learned that I don't want to live and be and have what everyone else has. My heart won't let it be that way. I don't want to pass judgement on those that are different. Instead I admire and respect the differences. I want to define my happiness. And sometimes getting what you want is hard work but the kind of work worth doing. I am committed to chasing what makes my heart pitter patter and the number one item on my list is finding a way to work less and spend more time with my family. If you have the same item on your list, please do share how you plan to make it possible. Is there something you have been wanting for a long time? Have you thought about acting on it?
Enjoy your weekend and find time for reflection. It helps heal the soul!
Hi Nancy! I know what you mean, and I agree with you. I'm going through some of the same growth. I've wanted to move back to Colorado for over 2 years now and haven't been able to. The one thing that makes it better for me is writing down my goals. I feel that when I write my goals down, and look at them every week I feel good. I feel good because I feel present with that goal, because when I write it I can see it a little bit. But I also know writing down that goal means that it will come true someday. They say the difference between a goal and a dream is a goal you write it down. Just an idea :) Not to push my job, but this might help you. http://goals.lululemon.com/ It will also remind you when it's time to update. I loved seeing you last week. If there is anything I can do just let me know. We can chat anytime. Love you!
