Instead of sapping about my life today, I'm going to do something that makes me feel good. Things I want to accomplish. For me - nobody else.
2014
go skydiving
go on vacation
win an award at work
get a raise - this means WORK YOUR ASS OFF
see justin timberlake, closer than 37 rows away
find a perfect apartment, and move out
eventually
write a book
buy mike bankey a bear/elk/moose hunt
teach high schoolers marketing/PR (fuck, that means an MBA)
get an MBA
I realize the only way to make my goals attainable is to focus on them myself, and to make them a priority. Nobody except for me is going to make these things happen. It's setting priorities, budgeting properly, and working your ass off (with maybe a tiny bit of luck).
Even with an amazing man by my side, these things aren't going to come out of thin air. Well, okay, maybe we could decide to go on vacation or skydive, and maybe he'd be perfect and buy me VIP tickets to see JT. Is he going to help me get a raise or win Rookie of the Year at work? Is he going to help me write a book? No, girlfriend, that's all me.
I am a newly single girl - which means even though I have nobody by my side, it also means I have nobody taking me off track or holding me back. Although I am the kind of person who likes to have a journey with somebody, I should embrace the fact that I am an independent, smart, capable woman.
"You are an independent, smart, capable woman."
