The best things in Life

Okay, so its every girl dream to become successful.  Have the man that as my mother put it, "Worships the ground you walk on". Have the career where they can't live without you cause you are that good at your job.  Kids that aren't hard to take care of.  No resentments or past failures.

Am I the only one with this thought?

For my own sake, I hope not! Today I'm finding myself feeling terrified of being capable, confident and optimisic about my future. I'm used to failing.  It is a very comforting feeling.

To be a women and admit my failures I think takes alot of guts.  I have screwed up friendships, pushed good meaning men away, and not trusted family. I have not lived up to my dream adulthood and quite frankly I have done a damn good job of screing it up. They say to be single in your 20s so you can live.  What am I living for....another dead in job.  More people that don't like me when I stop going to the parties.  I think you need to be single in your 30s so you can figure out who you are.

Now at 29 I'm challenging myself to become a women who knows she is capable of making her dreams a reality.  I want to write.  I  want people to read my writing and it to touch their lives in a way that encourges them to be someting different not just another joe walking down the street.  I want a job where I meet new people, can spend time with family and impact my community in a postive way. People are precious even the old guy driving in front of you.

My name is Gabrielle and I'm worth getting to know.  My dreams aren't meant to stay in my head. Its never too late to start over; even at 29.

OH MY G--

OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL i'M JUST PRETTY TICKLED THAT i HAVE AN AUDIENCE.  GRANTED MY AUDIENCE IS ONE PERSON....WELL EXCEPT FOR MY OCCASIONAL FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

I THINK ITS THE TYPICAL WRITER IN ME....I GET EXCITED WHEN I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE IS LISTENING.  THIS WEEK I HAVE ENTERTAINED THE IDEA OF ME GOING INTO BUSINESS, WRITING, AND WORKING WITH PEOPLE.

WHY DOES A JOB HAVE TO FEEL LIKE A JOB?  WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT HOW MUCH I GET PAID, PAID TIME OFF, THE PERKS, AND WHEN MY BENEFITS START. 

I WANT A CAREER THAT MAKES A DIFFERNCE. I WANT TO INTERACT WITH CUSTOMERS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I HAVE A TALENT: USING WORDS TO EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS.  HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN WRITE AND LIKE TO WORK WITH PEOPLE.  WHY HAVEN'T I PRUSED MY TALENT?

DON'T WORRY; NO TEST HERE.  I'M TERRIFIED OF FAILING AND ENDING BACK INTO THE POSITION OF ASKING FOR THE OTHER 100 BUCKS FOR RENT.  WITH THAT BEING SAID, I REALIZE I CAN ALSO BE HAPPIER THAN EVER BEFORE IF I STOP AND LET GO OF ONLY DREAMING ABOUT WRITING AND START TO MAKE IT MY REALITY. 

NOBODY IS GOINGTO READ A EMAIL AND PUBLISH ME.  LOL

I'M EXCITED FOR CHANGE!

QUESTION OF THE DAY?

IS THERE A CHANGE THAT SCARES YOU?
