Earlier this year I binged watched the show Younger on Hulu. [Don’t worry, I won’t give away any spoilers for people who might want to watch it at some point. 95% of what I’m mentioning from the first episode.] I used to always see the commercials for it on TVLand, but never watched it … More Why the show YOUNGER made me feel Hopeful . . .
         When you were younger did you have a picture in your head of what you thought adulthood looked like? I remember thinking that being an adult was all about work, family and just being serious all of the time. I thought after age 25 you just automatically become reserved and serious. I don’t know … More The Misconception I had about Adulthood.
         This week I was thinking a lot about time and patience. Most of us want things to happen right away. We often turn away from things once we realize it might take years, or longer than we initially expected. I remember when I was in college, and I changed my major to psychology. I … More This is Your Sign to Go for It! (Stop Running from Your Passion!)
I don’t know what it is, but lately I’ve been afraid to think big. It feels like when I get my hopes up, I get let down so it’s easier to just not think so far ahead. I hate saying what I truly want (whether in my head or out loud) in fear that … More Afraid to Dream, Afraid to Believe. (Am I Jinxing my Goals by being Too Enthusiastic, and thinking too far ahead?)
         My ongoing journey to Chasing “Financial” Freedom has been a roller coaster with many loops, turns and steep hills. I’ve failed tremendously. I gave up over and over again. I’ve came across many roadblocks. Unexpected life situations continuously popped up and delayed my path, but I kept going. Somehow, I would find the strength … More Self-Discipline for Success and Trying to Move Forward in this New Normal (Chasing Freedom Pt 2)
In a previous post I’ve mentioned one of my favorite quotes from The Office. It was the last season and Andy Bernard stated, “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.” That quote stuck with me since the very first time I heard … More When You Feel that the Good Old Days are Behind You . . . (There’s still hope)
I overheard a very interesting dialogue this week. Not only did I hear this topic of discussion once, but thrice in the last 7 days. It was about people who wait for signs before making a decision. So many of us want to be sure so bad that we drag our feet and constantly … More Waiting for signs? (Making the right decision…)
         What is your version of extraordinary? Does it line up with what you think the world’s version of extraordinary is? Or do you have your own definition? Growing up I always wanted to be great. I wanted to achieve great and have greatness thrust upon me, but what does that mean? Some people might … More Becoming Your Own Version of Extraordinary!
Today I was thinking about all the gray areas of life. As we age most of us come to the realization that everything is not as black and white as we thought. We don’t have all the answers and most things in life are unclear. We slowly find out that it’s common to not … More Teenage Confidence about the Future
         Today I came across a journal prompt that really grasped my attention. It made me think about the past and future. The question was: What’s three things you’d do if you weren’t so afraid? As a person who let fear rule her life, it made me want to dive into this topic. There were … More Three Things I Would Do if I weren’t so Afraid.
