Priorities...

Quote of the Day:

"What are your top 3 priorities...STOP...write them down/think them. STOP. Imagine that you're going to die within the week. Are your priorities the same? Are you living a happy life...for you?"

My top 3 priorities:
1. Career
2. Love
3. Fitness

If I was going to die within the week...
1. Travel
2. Spend time with Family/Friends
3. Fall in love...maybe a wedding in Vegas? Why not.

Am I living a happy life...for me?

Sometimes I think yes and other times I'm too busy crying to think much at all. But I have to realize the path I've chosen for myself in this world is not an easy, cookie cutter thing. It takes time, patience and in the end will be the most sweet reward I could ever imagine. Yes, I'm living a happy life for me.

Are you?

He's just not that...right for you.

Today's Quote:

"sometimes, a person is 95% right for you, but the 5% they're missing is critically important. or, the person is 95% wrong for you, but they have 5% of something you can't live without."

Ah, the wisdom of my friends. I'm sitting here being sad right now, thinking about the one boy I thought I had finally locked down, the one boy in three years I thought really actually truly liked me. But, then I realized as it all came crumbling down on New Years Eve that he's just not right for me. Which sucks. But, it happens I guess.

He's pretty great. I really dig him. I miss him. I wish I could call him right now and invite him over and spend all night cuddling and having amazing sex. However, there's 5% of him that's just not right for me and it's kind of a crucial part.

He's a workaholic. He can't separate people from business, love from networking, etc, etc, etc. I know he really digs me too, but I'm just not willing to be pushed aside for work. My career is extremely important to me right now and it's crucial at this stage that I remain focused, but there is such a thing as balance. He couldn't balance.

As seen on New Years Eve, when I was so excited to spend the evening with him, he finally had a night off work and what did he do at the party we went to? Spent the entire time mingling with everyone but me...networking...talking business. Sure we kissed at midnight but five minutes later? I had no idea where he was.

I deserve better. Don't settle for 95% right...you're worth 110%!

Wiser than our years...

That's how I would describe most women, especially the ones that have come and gone from my life. I'm starting this blog in hopes that this brings a bit more wisdom, comfort and happiness to those who happen upon it.

This past Christmas, about a week ago, I decided to give a gift to my best girls. We have been best friends for what seems like a lifetime (for one of them, this is true, she's my cousin and we were born exactly 21hrs apart...sister's from separate wombs). And during this "lifetime" we've sought out much advice from one another. And nothing, not even living in three separate states could keep us apart. For that, I am eternally thankful. I honestly do not know what I would do without them in my life. Long story short, I decided to re-read the past emails we've sent to one another in search of powerful quotes and things we've said that are worthy of spreading throughout the world...I came up with a lot, seeing as the three of us have been inseparable since our sophmore year of highschool and we are now well beyond our college years.

I'd like to share these quotes with you on a daily basis and I'm sure as the year continues, I'll have more to share!

Today's quote of choice is:

"Ho hum...life and love are messy...but if it wasn't, we'd probably not want anything to do with it...you know what you truly want inside...I know you do, but it's often so hard to find the truth. Just keep looking, it's in there...allow yourself the freedom to make a choice that makes you smile."

I like this quote for today because, I just went through a mini heartbreak and you know what? It was worth it. It taught me that I have the capacity to love again.

Think about it. Girlfriends are great!
