As I am sure that you will agree, making the right choices are never easy, and they certainly never came easy for me...why? Because for as long as I can remember, I
was all about doing what was best for everyone else, and not for myself. Time
slipped away and one day I woke up with so many regrets and I realized that this cannot be a good thing. So I ask you...are you a dreamer or a
drifter? Someone once told me that in order to be happy with your life you MUST
first be happy with YOU! When you awaken each day do you think about your life
and do you feel gratified or do you look back with regrets that you didn’t do
something that you once wanted to because either it A) wasn’t in the cards for
you, or B) were just too afraid to take that leap of faith? Listen to me my
friends…I am a woman who has tried almost everything. I work hard, love life
and cherish my family and true friends. My life would be non-existent without
all of them. What I have learned is that failure is good. It teaches us what
we’ve done wrong and we learn how to make it right.
Years ago I thought that I wanted the Cinderella fairy tale,
the big wedding and to live happily ever after with the man of my dreams, my
first true love. To live in a new home with the picket fence and all the
fixings while the kiddos ran around the yard playing. Oh I had it all right,
but with a cost. I began living my life for everyone but ME. I gave and I gave
and I gave…but then I got greedy and I took, and took and took, until one day I
woke up to a life and a marriage that was no longer the way it once was and it
was “I” that became the drifter. I did everything that everyone else wanted me
to do and nothing that really made me happy. I lost my direction and my life
was slowly spinning out of control. I didn’t even know what it was to feel a
sense of inner true happiness because for so long I got wrapped up in
circumstances that weren’t a part of who
I was. My life became about making others happy and not putting ‘me’ first.
Listen, life doesn’t always go the way we anticipate it to
go and needless to say I was caught living a life for someone else and not at
all for myself. I didn’t know who I was nor did I understand my own true
identity. What I realized was that I no longer had possession of me. I needed
to take back who I was and what I valued most, my own happiness. You see, I
drifted away from my own morals. I became what everyone else wanted me to be.
Be honest with yourself. I was taught at a young age to dream big. Today, I am
the BIG DREAMER and I’ve raised my children to be the same way. Life is about
trying, not about being afraid to try. So perhaps you mess up? As my friend
Tina would say “no big hairy deal!” Your life isn’t over if you screw up a few
times along the way…just learn from those mistakes and grow.
Where do you start so that this doesn’t happen to you? If you don’t want to go to college for a degree
that your parents chose, don’t. There is nothing worse than having this happen to you and then 20 years later you are working and doing what you hate doing. Do what makes you happy! If you are gay, get the out of the
closet. Don’t hide who you are to make others happy. Life is all about YOUR
INNER HAPPINESS my friend. JUST BE YOU! If others don’t like it, they aren’t
your true friends. If your family feels threatened by this or ashamed, walk
away and let them come to terms ‘their way.’ If you really dislike your boss
and your job and you are more of a door-mat than a part of the team, exit
quickly my friend. People like these you do NOT need. If you aren’t sure about
the man/woman in your life and do not know if a long term relationship/marriage
is right for you, don’t do it! Listen to your gut. If you are married or
committed to this person already and have been for years yet you think that you’ve
hit a brick wall and are at a dead end in your life, for God sakes, find a way
to change it!
It’s NEVER too late to take control back and do what you
want for YOU! Remember, what you do and how your life turns out is your
destiny. You can change it if it doesn’t feel right. You can turn your life
around and be that person that you always wanted to be but were afraid to be.
This may mean hurting those that you love and causing chaos
in the home front or the work place, but think about this…life is about taking
risks. For once in your life, do what makes you feel good. I did, and since
then I have lived a life full of guilt-free pleasure.
There is no more doing
for everyone else because they want it, now it’s all about me and doing what
makes me happy. Sure I still do things for others, but I do it because I want
to, not because I have to. I love my life, and my jobs and my children/family.
I love waking up each day and knowing that if I died tomorrow I would have
completed most of all the important things on my ‘bucket list.’ #1 was to
stepped out of the box and do something that was risky and succeed. I am the
proud owner now of two lingerie boutiques online. Prior to doing this, I started a flower shop as
well as a travel store. It took trying several new things to determine what it
was that made me happy and now my goal is to help other women become more
confident and happy with whom they are. Life is about loving who you are. You
can make a difference.
Stop crying, stop nagging, and stop telling others your entire
life history and all of your dreadful problems. Arrive to work on time and at a
job that you love going to where you are genuinely appreciated at. Take your
life seriously, because if you don’t my friend, no one else will. (…and by no
one I mean especially your close friends and family.) Not happy? Fix it. Don’t
cry to everyone that will listen, no one likes drama. Your life may seem like a
three ring circus now but it doesn’t have to feel this way forever. It’s all
about taking baby steps. Wake up each day feeling like a million bucks.
If this has not painted the picture for you that you can
change your life, then you missed the entire point here.There are no short cuts to take…this
time around do what makes you happy even if it means starting over. Can it be
done? It certainly can be…Just ask my kids and my family and friends.
I walked away from
everything and started over. I hit more barriers than most will ever see in a
life time; nonetheless it has made me stronger, more independent and happier
with whom I am. You should try it. I’m not saying in any terms that it will be
easy, oh no. It will suck at times…BUT soon things will come together and life
will be good again, as it was a long time ago.
Happiness is the key ingredient
in a successful life. Love who you are, respect yourself and don’t be afraid to
try something and fail for life is all about failures my friends. Trust me, I
hit every brick wall that there ever was and then some, but I didn’t quit and I
never backed down. Do not allow the words ‘quit’ or ‘no’ to become part of your
vocabulary. I’m nowhere near perfect and oh boy do I have flaws. I am witty and
silly and laugh at my own jokes. I give to others who need it, and I share. My
friends all know that I am only a phone call, a text or an email away and that
no distance is too far when you want to see someone bad enough…I am just me,
take it or leave it.
Be a dreamer, not a drifter. Go after things that normally
you wouldn’t. Go up to that man/woman that you have had your eye on for some
time and be the first to say hello…open communication is the only place to
start. Allow them to see what a great catch you are! Apply for a job that your
aren’t totally 100% qualified for but during an interview tell your potential
new employer just why you would be the best fit for the job and where you see
yourself with this particular company in five years. 9 times out of 10
businesses want to see an assertive, positive person who isn’t afraid to
dominate or feel rejected. It shows leadership. Start a business that you’ve always
wanted to because it makes you happy. The sky is the limit my friends,…it’s
your call. Where will your destiny lead you?
