I’ve begun my job and let me say, I am in love. I truly adore my job, coworkers and completely respect and look up to my boss, the president of the company.
My future hubby was home a few days ago and we were discussing the recent turn of events and he is as ecstatic as I am. I’ve finally found my niche and my coworkers are so sweet and genuinely helpful in their hopes to aid me in succeeding. Is this real life? To have the most amazing man in my life, a career I love and feel I can thrive at and wonderful friends, its really all I could ask for, more really. I’ve experienced a lot of heartbreak in the past year and a half, losing a few truly important people, I was dragged down by others not dealing with their own insecurities and I felt like I didn’t know where my life was going.
My gorgeous messenger bag, leather notebook portfolio and crisp new corporate appropriate wardrobe in its separate closet all helped me feel the most ready to walk through those gorgeous double doors.
In a lot of the books I devoured, the authors (mainly CEO’s, corporate consultants or gurus within their industry whatever it may be) advised repeatedly to maintain a healthy balance within your life. It is fine to dedicate yourself to your work but you must make sure you take time for yourself and personal pursuits. Eat a healthy diet, get proper sleep, pursue what you love during your free time, workout and be aware of your emotional states. I’m so happy I’ve read so thoroughly on these subjects because I tend to become overzealous and focus solely on one huge project at a time, sometimes leaving others neglected.
More so, I make time for the things I love; writing, listening to music, dancing, biking, spending quality time with my friends, laughing and enjoying my life to the fullest extent possible.
I was gifted a few things (a few pairs of Prada sandals, python Cynthia Rowley tote that fits all work necessities in it quite perfectly) from well-wishers close to me that are familiar with my struggle regarding my future (I was so torn between a graduate degree or actively searching for my ultimate career).
Furthering my education is most likely something that is still on the agenda, but I’ll accept that challenge when I feel it is the appropriate time.
My weekends are now spent sleeping in a bit, heading to yoga, going to movies, reading for pleasure (blogs and books), shopping, relaxing at the beach, brunching with my bestie and participating in things I find fulfilling. I don’t take this for granted. Not for a second. Have a wonderful weekend.
