When I see this picture, I see a BOSS. I see a woman who has the means to treat herself, and I definitely want to have that lifestyle. I have always envisioned myself being successful in the future. But as the wiser of the bunch know, the road to success is not a straight one. You have to go through so many failures and disappointments until reaching that success.
I'm nowhere near my goals, but I can console myself with the fact that I work hard every single day to push myself closer to my dreams. There's not a day I take for granted. Lately, I've been feeling really strange. I am incredibly disheartened by the industry that I want to work in, but at the same time, I am beginning to feel a competitive spirit. But I do want to make it clear: I'm not competing with anyone but myself.
There have been so many moments during this journey where I've compared (or even worse, other people do the comparison) of myself to my peers or others that are succeeding and it discourages me from trying. I get upset thinking I don't have that "it factor," I'm no one special. But then I kick my own ass and remind myself that I am a completely different person than the ones I compare myself with. So in reality, there is no comparison, I've learned to only compare myself to my past, and the old me is always inspiration and motivation for me to do better. I always strive to be a better me than I was yesterday.
Ultimately, I do want to live a somewhat lavish lifestyle, and there's nothing wrong with that, I want to be able to occasionally spoil myself as well as use my blessings to help others. Nothing feels better than making someone's day. These desires are some things that motivate me to work hard towards my goals.
You see that lady in the center of the picture? That's going to be me one day. On my day off, treating myself to some glam before a date or a girl's day out. I can see it clearly, and I will work to make that dream a reality.
What's something that has inspired you lately? Please share!
xoxo
