Up for Grabs!

Bonjour!!

I know I know it's been a minute since you've heard from the kid...quite a bit has happened especially emotionally but all is well or at least I will make it that way!

The last 2-3 weeks have been pretty eye-opening and ironically motivating to me while dealing with family issues, death, financial woes, being called lazy lol, etc but I was watching a movie the other day and in a very gayish girly way I wrote down the quote the actress used " We are one small adjustment from making our lives work" and the crazy thing is: THIS IS SOOO TRUE! Think about it if you could adjust one small thing in your life everything has the potential to fall right in place. For me it's my attitude if I could just adjust my attitude and how I let people and things affect me I could be on the path to greatness. I started this morning by telling myself: "The world is up for grabs, and I just have to take it". So that's the attitude I plan on having in hopes that this is my adjustment and great things happen.

Someone was brutally honest with me last week and called me lazy and although I may have seemed cool when it was said it PISSED me off because at no point would I ever call my self lazy I bust ass everyday! It bothered me for a couple of days and then I realized it -I am lazy not lazy in my actions but lazy in my thoughts and processes. I bust ass for everybody else but not for myself so another adjustment with my attitude is the thought process of busting ass for me just as I do for everybody else and let's see what happens, see it's all about the attitude (which we know I have-lol).  

To start this new adjustment to my life I made Goal Sheets last night- each individual sheet states a goal at the top and then tasks that will need to be completed over time to get to the final goal - kinda like a road map. This way I hold myself accountable for what needs to be done and I can see where I fell off and what I can do better- HA now call that Lazy lol---- It's amazing how much motivation one can have when they want to prove someone wrong but I guess at the end of the day if their goal is to light a fire under you because they care and want to see you succeed then keep them coming; I'll be lazy all day lol.

So my QuarterLife Phenoms is there an adjustment you can make? and how will you kick your "lazy" in the ass?!

Ciao!!

Thought of the DAY!

Bonjour!!

Sooo I have learned that you learn something new everyday lol (pretty funny right?) Whether it's professionally, academically or personally something new enters our brain each day. To be exact the average human has approximately 55-60k thoughts a day, so something new and or investigative has to come out of that..... For instance a few weeks back a client told me : "It's amazing that lightning bugs light up to signal other lightning bugs that they would like to mate" Who would've thunk it? And you can say I'm slow but I had NO idea...which made me think what if people lit up or had some type of signal that tells the world "come on and screw me" LOL...But I guess we do and it's called Patron and or Vodka lol....

Moving on....The interesting thing is although this was said to me weeks ago it came back to me today as I realized although we don't have some green lantern light effect that signifies to the world what we want, we do carry an individual light that shows how we're feeling -- called our body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. It made me start realizing how I carry a light with me each day that shows how I'm feeling for the entire world to see, which then made me ask WHY? I mean if all 307 Million people in the US can see how I'm feeling and know what's actually bothering me will they care? Probably not, lol...Even more so why should they? in addition to just because I feel a certain way doesn't make it right for me to make others feel that same way and or turn them off from me completely.

Sometimes I think we let people and things dictate us, control who are whether it's for a moment, an hour, a day, a week, even worse a lifetime. Am I saying you can't be pissed off or shouldn't? No not at all but what I am saying is life is to short and whatever is bothering you scream about it, pray about it, laugh about it, do what ever you have to do but don't let it become you because then you lose you and possibly those around you. And yes I know it's easier said than done and this may be the advice I give and don't take but the thing is if you don't control you and your life why should anyone else deserve to?

Soooo today I pledge that even when things aren't going my way and want to be pissy and or pissed off..I'll scream KICK ROCKS!! and then I'll build a bridge and get the HELL over it because If I give them that much power or control then I'm the damn fool lol

Smile.....This to shall pass :-)

Cioa!
