Persistence

““It’s ok not to know exactly what you want to do or who you want to be, so don’t let the fear of uncertainty stop you from learning, trying new things, and most importantly failing.””

Hey lovely people,

So yesterday was my 25th birthday, and I can say leading up to it, I pretty much had a quarter life crisis. I was unsure about where life was leading me, confused, wondering why I am not one of those people who have it all figured out, and just feeling like I have to start over. One of the things that were constantly on my mind was, "Where would I be if I would of just pursued my passion from the very beginning, where would I be in life right now, how far would I have got?" 

I spoke with one of my best friends last night and she definitely gave me the reassurance that I needed. I am on the right track, I am brave and going after my dreams despite all odds. Many people in life don't know exactly who they want to be or where the should be. Then I came across the quote above on The Everygirl and I realized I was just beating myself up. I truly believe everything happens in the way God has intended, and I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I have a plan and I am taking it one step at a time.

Love,

Lola

I am officially welcoming you to my new blog! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy every second of this journey as I do.

I must be honest...this endeavor is completely new to me and I definitely have many reservations about putting myself out there for the world to see, but I must say, this will be an enjoyable experience and I cannot wait to begin this new phase in my life with you!

One of the main reasons I am creating this blog (yes, it is still a work in progress at this moment in time lol) is because this is a very pivotal time in my life. I recently had a midlife crisis...rather 20 years too soon, but my life did come to a serious halt. The career path I had chosen was not meant for me. After working six months in IT consulting (something I thought I would do for the rest of my life), I woke and kept thinking to myself this can't possibly be it. I cannot see myself doing this for the rest of my life, heck not even for the next 5 years. So I decided to make a change and really explore what will be the most fulfilling and joyful path for me, and you know what I decided.....

Tune in to my next journal entry as I explain what I have decided and the next steps on my to-do list to getting there!

P.S. there is a big hint to what it will be...look up!

Let me know what you think ;)

Love,

Lola
