Focus

Having a good day

I've been up and down with emotions and decisions. "Life is really as hard as you make it", that's what my ex used to tell me. It's true. People can be horrible to you, but how you respond to the situation is up to you. 

I ultimately want to be a jewelry designer. I love beauty. Making jewelry and accessories makes me happy. Pure joy. In the midst of graduating from college and looking for work, I've gotten down on myself. I lost focus.

Now that I've had time to just sit down, meditate, and think about my happiness, I realize I've been beating myself up over nothing. Yes I have no job. It's true that companies have taken me for granted. It's true that I let them. It's true that I let the opinion of others prevent me from my dreams. Now what?

Now, I'm just getting back to me. Learning html, css, and python. I realize that I don't have let go of my dreams. I just have to change how I will get there. This is the age transformation through technology. That's fine with me. I love creating something out of nothing. My focus has not changed but the journey has. 

I honestly thought it would be a piece of cake after graduating college. Boy, was I wrong. Since I did not plan ahead, I have to plan forward. Meaning, I have to learn as I go. Sure, I may get into debt, but not for long. 

I was one of those people who always wanted to stay away from debt, but I realize that it's necessary to move forward in the business world. Just don't get comfortable. I'm glad that I have the friends and family that I do, because without them I would be out of focus still. 

I want people to read this article and realize that failure is not the end, but the opportunity for a new beginning. If you don't believe me. Look up the lives of your favorite celebrity and you will see how many times they fell, but got back up to win.

I'm not stopping and neither should you. Your dreams are more than an imagination, it's your present soul. Be present and keep moving forward. Persevere through it all.
