Everyone knows how life can get crazy sometimes, trying to figure out what you want for yourself or even getting through day to day struggles. Let's be real, half the time I can barely decide what kind of coffee I want in the morning or what I should make for dinner tonight. Transforming and growing into my late twenties brings a lot of different stresses, opportunities, emotions and obstacles that I never even thought of before. Honestly, I didn't think I still would be living in NY where I grew up, I made a goal for myself by the age of 25 I would be moved back to Los Angeles California with the perfect plan that I imagined I would reach and accomplish, and unfortunately I haven't moved back there. But I stopped beating myself up about missing out on the "plan I had" or "where I thought I should be" or "wow my friends are doing great, where did I go wrong?"
I have definetly progressed into becoming more successful and closer to my final career goal, but I am not even close to feeling fully fulfilled and happy with my career and life choices yet. I can lie and say I don't have regrets, but I do have some, but doesn't everyone? I am trying now to think outside of my imagination and really look at the reality of my life considering in reality, time flies and I don't want to waste anymore of it!
During this pandemic, my perspective on my life goals, relationships, and overall just whats important has definitely shifted. This quarantine has given me more than enough time to prioritize, organize, and build a plan for myself on what will make me happy and what will create the success I have been searching for. Moving forward in life you're suppose to change your way of thinking, come up with new solutions and go on new adventures. We need to use our life experiences or things we've seen as losses, and turn them into lessons for our future selves.
People always say, "your doing the best you can your not alone.", or"it takes time you'll get there"! Well, yes of course things take time and yes of course others may feel this way or may be in the same boat, but I don't want to be in that boat. I want to be on my own yacht for crying out loud. I want to be able to say I'm achieving all my goals and living my dreams because I have worked hard for it and I've earned it.
I am sure you are reading this article and thinking whatever I have seen this before or I feel this way but its not going to change. During this pandemic all you have is time, use it to invest in yourself. You have room for improvement, room to experiment, room to brain storm and be creative! This is the opportunity to turn something negative into a positive for yourself. You have to be the one to save yourself, you have to rely on you to succeed in what you want.
