Who Do I Want to Be?
Currently I am 22 year-old woman with a full time job. I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur and work for myself. I guess I did not understand how hard that really was and how much I would need to give up momentarily.
As a child I wanted to be the next Beyonce, as most little girls at that time did. When I got older though, I was told that I was such a chatter box I should become a lawyer. Of course my mom liked any idea of me being successful. She instilled in me a lot of ideals I hold true to now and values that are needed in today's world. Back then I would have given anything just to be a doctor and help my mom heal.
Today, my mother is gone. Her absence sent me through a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts. She was my "why" for most of the hard-work I did. Although my grandmother is still alive and well, I barely get to see her because I am, even with a full-time job, overcoming a cash flow problem....
Tomorrow, I would like to be energetic and focused. No more logging onto Facebook on a whim or searching the Twitter trends. I want to see my goals more clearly and map them out more efficiently. Don't get me wrong, I know that most 22 year old cannot say they are in the same position I am but I am realistic. I know that I have not used my full potential over the last few years and I take full responsibility. Tomorrow, I want to be me but with more tenacity and fight. I want to be less emotionally dependent on others. Tomorrow, I want to be the person that fights for their goals and dreams every moment my eyes are not closed....
Talk to you tomorrow.
