Life and other things: Getting focused.

Tonight I was suppose to attend my company holiday party but a snow storm rolled in and I along with my co-worker decided to stay home.  SIGH
I even went and had my hairstylist style my hair for the event. 
Oh well, at least I get to watch Avatar on HBO.  I also get to spend some time talking with you!!!

It's amazing the number of movies I never go to the movies to see.  It's not that I don't want to see them, it's just time goes by and I don't make the effort. 
Speaking of making an effort, I need to make an effort towards my dreams. 

In the recent weeks, I've been getting comfortable because my job suites me very well. 
I've also been spending too much time concerned about other people and not enough time concerned about myself.
My best friend told me over thanksgiving that I give too much.  This I know, I'm a giver.  There is something inside me that just wants to give my all to everyone around me, kind of impulsively and without regard to my own needs.
I'm continuously learning that I need to step back, take care of me.  The same people that love you will zap the energy out of you and not even replenish (and they most often are clueless that they are doing this to you).  But the onus is on me to put myself first and take care of me.  If I don't take care of me, then I surely can't take care of the rest of the world.

With that said, over the month of December, I'm going to invest time in myself. Time spent to reflect, think, plan (in details) how I'm going to meet the long and short term goals I set for my life.  Getting the MBA was just the beginning.  Now the real work starts.... I can't share the details of the master plan but I will share what books I'm reading, and I will definitely share the successes and failures......More to come. 
Love,
FARE
PS  I'm currently re-reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.  I think I get it this time!
