So I haven't posted on my personal blog in a while because I have been so focused on doing my professional one! Forgive me, my readers, as I try to keep up on all chains, one broken link can leave the whole thing to fall apart!
Here are the happenings: I'm facing obstacles all around! Obstacles with work, obstacles with myself. My personal obstacle is simply my patience. Let's face it, I have none. I find that in many of my personal relationships, whether they be friendships, family, or dating, I tend to rush things. Here's the thing, as a retail professional, you're fast paced, always on the go, always moving, it's almost non-stop. If you can't keep up, you won't make it past a certain level. I've done this for 8 years, so I really only know one thing: I control my pace. I've taken this to outside relationships, because I need to control those too. I find that if something isn't done in my time, I'm not happy. I've always had this thing where I wait for nobody, because I've always felt I have no time to wait. It's ultimately my downfall, as Life really shouldn't be rushed anyway.
Work. I want so much more!! I'm on the path to living a healthy lifestyle and I want to help others do the same. I work for a fantastic company that I truly want to move up with, and I feel stuck. But again, it's because it's not at MY pace. If things were my way, I'd be where I want to be already, and I wouldn't be feeling like I'm in limbo.
Here's what I've been thinking. God is trying to tell me something here. He's trying to teach me the lesson I continually fail to learn, and that's patience. I have to begin to understand that things will happen the way they are meant to, and that the best things in life are earned and take time, patience and a person who is willing to fight for everything that they believe in. If I continue to rush things, I will miss details, I will miss important factors that will contribute to my success. I have to take time to perfect and complete the things the way they should be completed, and not do them just to get to the end result. Yes the end result is a sweet dream, but getting there is only going to increase and enhance the glory, the journey, the progress, the process. They say to stop and smell the roses, to appreciate the little things life has to offer, because it could be all gone in a flash. So maybe, just maybe, it's time to start listening, and take my time. Because I truly believe that my entire journey, in all aspects and all relationships, is worth fighting for. And I'm just not ready to give up!
