New Horizon's

I Finally put in my 2 weeks at work, so I can find work closer to home.
I moved so that my commute went from 10 minutes (traveling 3 miles) to an hour (traveling 14 miles). Not so fun!
So finally I am looking forward to finding work close to home, and will be able to focus more on my path and direction.
I'm good with kids, I love helping other people, I'm awesomely musical, and have some fun hobbies.
So now's the time to sorta listen to my heart, and that little voice inside and hear what it's telling me.

I got news last night of a dear friend, who's struggling with direction in her life. And I left her a message this morning to call me. I seem to be able to help others find their paths better than I know how to see or find mine. It sounds like she's not doing music (which she should!) and she's just partying all the time, and it's obvious she's making herself numb so she doesn't have to face her discontent.
Face your discontent, and things will change for the better. Listen to your discontent, and it will push you in another direction! Journal it!

I was dicontent with my pay, and with my commute, so voila I'm doing something about it.
I'm discontent with my long term goals, so I'm looking into grad programs, because all I know is that I want t help others.

Here are some phrases I have learned to live by:
  • Change the way you look at things and things you look at will change
  • Feel the Fear but do it anyways
  • Don't make excuses for him
  • In general people are stupid
  • Never let the audience be an indication of how you are doing
  • Comfort makes you stupid
  • A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are built for
  • Kill'em with kindness
  • Take a risk learn something new about yourself

I am looking forward to the fall time, and all the fun events I have planned with friends and family! Life is not yours to keep, it's yours to enjoy and be happy in. And always continue to learn!!
