Living Vibrantly!

No, no, I am not talking campaign promises – Thank God!

I have learned to never say never in this life. There used to be things I would say, “I would never “fill in the blank”, I will always, “fill in the blank”. I would be very definitive in my thoughts and opinions.

Over the last few years I have learned the hard way that you can’t say “always” nor can you say “never” because when you do – it’s usually when you will be proven wrong. We can’t control others and we can’t control all the things around us. We can live our lives to the best of our abilities. We can and should always try to stay true to who we are in our hearts. However I have learned there are times when you will have to just learn to go with the flow. Whether you want to or not.

Life is moving you into a new direction; it can either be a struggle or you can work through it. I choose to work through those times and I usually appreciate the lesson once I get through to the other side of the process. There are things in my life that I thought were untouchable. Things that would be there forever. Nope, I was wrong! Looking back now, I am glad I was wrong. Sometimes though, when the changes first occured I felt like I had been knocked for a loop.

I have learned to expect that every day I will get just a little bit wiser. That’s a good thing! There are paths you go down and things you do that come into your life for a reason and a season. As you move through that season; you realize and begin to sense when you may be taking a new path at different points in your life. I am recently finding myself at that point. Not because I want to be – but because I currently have my life burning like a candle at both ends. It’s getting to be too much – my fire is going to go out due to sheer exhaustion.

I am at a point where I have taken a step back and I am evaluating what I want to do and where I want to be this time next year. You may have noticed that this last month I have been more quiet than I normally am here on the web. I haven’t deserted anything, I am just trying to figure some things out. I know this signals some changes for me and while that’s exciting it’s also a process that can seem painstakingly slow. I try to hang on to things that maybe I shouldn’t be hanging on to any longer. I love everything that I do. Many don’t realize everything I currently have on my plate. I don’t talk about my “day jobs” because to me – they are different. But I do them because I enjoy what I learn there.  A quick list of what I do…I currently have two home businesses, I am an Office Manager at a Property Management Company, I am going to school for my real estate license and I am an Advertising Executive as well.

I love everything I do – but it’s just getting to be a little too much. I am in an evaluation period. I will decide and I will focus on what I enjoy – and that will be my focus. One thing may change, or several may change. That doesn’t mean I am fickle or undecided – that means I have outgrown something and I am ready for the next step in my life! Everything I choose to do – I do because I am interested in it. I love learning new things. I have had the luxury of trying some things – and then if they aren’t right, I can move on; for whatever reason.

That’s the beauty of not locking yourself into any one box. I hope I never lose the excitement of learning something new. It’s a challenge and it’s fun most of the time. I love learning – and I am looking forward to the next year, whatever it may hold. So know that I will be back, with more focus and new determination.

If I can share anything about the process it would be this: Don’t fight making changes in your life – just go with it, you may discover it’s the best thing you ever did!

Your best YOU – may be just around the corner!

Have a Good One,
