Don't let fear rule you

Imagine this...

You just finished college, and all of your hard work is coming to a close.

Walking down the isles of the auditorium, watching all of the cameras flashing and the people cheering for all of their loved ones. Stepping onto the podium to receive your diploma [holder].

Then the reality sets in. You know what this feels like. You're moved home, with your parents at a job that pays you a lot less than what you expected, and hardly in your field of study. Blech!

Attempt after attempt at trying to make it big, and trying to show the world that you have amounted to something other than a fast food worker.

Finally you get a chance at something more career focused... at the bottom, but paying a little more than what your previous job entailed.

You have moved out of your parents house, you have moved in with a friend, living the dream....

But now you are BROKE and living the dream!

Living pay check to pay check, but you would not have it any other way!

This is a true story! This is how I feel and I am sure millions of other people feel. Either they are single, or married, or just with their cat!

Life outside of the comfort zone can be pretty scary, but as the saying goes "life begins outside of your comfort zone".

I recently started a new job with more work responsibility but I have worked so hard to make this dream come true. Each day is a new learning experience for me, but I have to keep reminding myself to not let fear rule me.

Fear doesn't exist, it is something we use as a void when we really just do not want to try!

So do not feel alone, today is your day!

Make the dream a reality!

Toxic Friendships

Let me start this blog post with a little side conversation. I love self exploration journals, self help blogs/podcasts/books, and I love helping people! SO with that being said - let me help you out for a moment. Here are some self help books/journals that I have found so far  to be extremely helpful! Click here to learn more and purchase! Click here to learn more and purchase! Click here to learn more and purchase! Click here to learn more and to buy! I am always constantly finding new things to read, I actually have two other books on my docket to read on these subjects that I will write about later.  OK... so now the real topic: TOXIC PEOPLE So how does the first part of my post and the main topic correlate? Well simple. I was writing in the "52 Lists for Happiness" book tonight, and one of the questions is: "List the best choices you have made in your life". Mine goes as such: Going to Europe Graduating from Colleg...

Let Me Talk About Podcasts

Let me talk about podcasts... If you have been living under a rock - podcasts are a thing. I am pretty sure that they have been around since the birth of the iPod.  So why am I talking about podcasts? Well I have never really been one for listening to podcasts up until this year. Some of you (my -4 readers) may have your hesitations about them too.  Here were some of mine: "Ugh I don't want to listen to people talking all the time". "Music is life!" "I don't even know what to listen to!" Well as I have gotten older - I find myself listening to "good music" which is the same stuff I listened to in college and way before. I found myself in a time warp. It was either my old school college rap, boy bands, techno, and all that. I like alternative rock, but this new stuff like Taylor Swift is killing me.  So I started listening to books on audio, and when I did not have money to purchase another book on audio or fi...

Things a California State of Mind Taught Me.

This last week I went on my first vacation in a while. I have taken time off to help out with family things, and have taken a day here or there, but not a FULL week off from work in a LONG time. Well I did this past week, and I went to California with my friends Annah and Kayla. We went to the beach, Disneyland, and bummed around a museum and a cool shopping district. But let me tell you why this trip was so special - it taught me some things I needed to know about myself, about my friendships, and about my mental health! This is my favorite picture I took the entire trip, it explains how I felt the entire length of the trip - HAPPY and relaxed, free to be myself. Let me start off by saying - I am myself pretty much most of the day, but this trip let me do things on my own time with my own ways. 1. I is kind, I is smart, and I is important! I love this quote from  The Help . Self love - it is something that is becoming more accepted each day. I have always struggled w...
