Change

I want to make a change. Simplify my life so that I am able to enjoy the things/people I truly love... How do I do this? I'm not positive yet but I am determined to make a change to spend the majority of my time doing something that actually matters to me and others. I know that I am capable of greatness when fueled by passion - I have drive. I am intelligent. I can make things happen.

I need to spend time figuring this out but I just want to put it out there to add fuel to my fire. I can't continue to live this conventional life that I am currently living. I want time for my family and friends. The people who matter most. Life is too short to spend the majority of your time working for the man and not feeling rewarded in any way but monetary compensation. I'm not built for that I have compassion, soul, a heart.....I can't imagine having a baby and feeling as though I must come back from maternity leave early to hold on to my job or that I must focus on work on my time off... How about being in the hospital for pretty extreme reasons and worrying about getting your blackberry to work bc you might miss something detrimental to your job. It's just not the way to live life. I don't think I could ever be happy living that way even with all the money in the world. Those are real life situations right there. People do that. If you don't believe it....I would probably be right there with you if I didn't witness it first hand.

Our country needs to take a step back and look at what really matters. Love others, cherish others, help others -- stop being so concerned with yourself and titles and $$$$$... Bc in the blink of an eye your life can be turned around and you can realize that you missed out on experiences, moments, memories, love - things that money can't buy but are worth more than anything money CAN buy.

Peace.
