Purpose

My biggest Pet Peeve occurs when people don't take advantage of opportunities presented to them and don't strive towards their own purpose in life. I truly believe that we live in a place where we can do anything and be anything that we want to be. However, instead of inspiring to success some people make excuses. They go about their lives performing the same mundane tasks over and over again and expecting a different result. That's pure insanity!!! If you want something, you have to take it! It won't be given to you. We all have the power to become whoever we want to become, but we must harness that internal energy to unleash our greatness and potential. No more excuses people! Find that special something that excites you and reach for it! It could be owning your own business, being a mom, working as an executive, working in non-profit....whatever. So what is my purpose? When I have children (down the line), I want them to look at me and say "wow, my mom is a happy and amazing woman". I know they will only say that if I first feel that I am a happy and amazing woman. So everyday, I strive towards that purpose and make professional and personal decisions that coincide with that goal. In the end, we all only get one life. We might as well spend it doing something great!
