Life only happens once, do we sit around and wait for the chance to be discovered, the chance the find ourselves? Sometimes an abrupt change in our life happens that forces change, it may hurt, or it may be unexpected, but it forces us to move out of our comfort zone. That is when opportunity arises! This is the time to get out there and find out what is out there in life. There is a world full of possibilities at our grasp, and if we don't grasp them, they will be gone in a blink of an eye.
When my best friend passed away, I felt as if I had lost myself. I was not the person I once was, nor was I going the direction I had intended. Remembering the days we spent together, there was no question of dreams, or limits, but somewhere along the way, all that was lost. What I wouldn't give to talk to him now about the changes in my life.
I got my degree for a reason, to better myself, and my career. To feel more challenged and move forward. The only thing holding me back was myself. Life is not always fair, but who ever said it was?
** When one door closes many more will open, if you allow them to**
We live in a world of evolving change, although it is scary, if you let it overwhelm you, it will consume you, therefor destroying you. Go with it, flow, grow and learn. Allow it to become a strength and apart of your success.
Learn to forgive, but not forget, hate runs deep, as does jealousy and envy. No one is perfect including you. You get one chance at life,
Live
Learn
Love
Remember
Open your eyes to what is in front of you, you never know what the outcome will be, at the least, there will be a lesson, if you allow yourself to learn. - Always Learn. Knowledge holds the key to your mind.
Ask questions, never be afraid ensure accuracy.
Laugh
Love
Dance
Life happens once- take chances, risks, open your eyes, see your opportunities, and live your life, you only get one chance.

Bittersweet
Life, like anything is full of disappointment, things don't always go your way, no matter how hard you work or wish, or study. Sometimes it is just not meant to be. It does not make it hurt any less. But dwelling over something that was never yours to begin with sounds a little silly, right? A dream, a thought, something that never quite materialized. Something you can't quite wrap your brain around. But what if deep down there, there was a little voice telling you this was not your path? Does this mean, that God is telling you to go after what you really wanted? Can anyone say what they really want in life? Some may have their dream of marriage, kids a house with a white picked fence. But is there truly happiness in all of that? Others may have their happiness in money and cars, and fancy clothes. Do they really? What is the foundation of happiness?
I have asked myself many times, is it worth it? I don't know, at least not yet. What do I want, I don't know, and that may have prevented me from taking an important step towards my future. Which brings me back to an earlier point. Was there that voice deep down inside that really did not want that path? There is a path that I have thought about taking, many times in the last year, something I am passionate about, what has stopped me, I cannot say. Fear maybe. Rejection. The first rejection is always the hardest. However, taking this rejection is maybe the step that I needed to head me in the direction I was meant to go. Crazy as that may sound.
Last night I had a conversation with a friend, a friend who understands me better than most, her brother was my best friend, my first and only love, and I watched her grow up. Although the depression and sadness I have felt these last few days have been nothing compared to what she has felt in the last few years, she made me feel better and gave me hope. After talking to her I felt better and felt like I could move forward with my plans for the future. Although she much is younger than me, she is wise for her age, she has had to grow up so fast, and I love her for all that is she and has become. Thank you Paula.
To move forward will be a challenge, as is anything in life, but to sit here and do nothing would be a waste. Life seems to move fast, especially as you grow older, and to make change you must initiate change. No one said life would be easy.
