Another lesson learned

Actually, it's raining life lessons in my life right now. I've been on a roller coaster of emotions for awhile now. I won't explain the details of my life that got me to this point, but I will reflect on the lessons learned to make the best of it.

Recently, I've been dealing with my share of personal and professional disappointments. Everything has been coming at me at the same time into one collective burnt out feeling. Time is rolling by and life is passing by so fast for me. Sometimes it's so fast that I feel like I can barely catch up, process it, and stay on top of it all. I'm learning many things simultaneously about respect, patience, trust, happiness, dealing with fear, following my heart, honesty, frustration, disappointment, grief, rejection, taking risks/chances, pain, conflict, communication, professionalism, friendship, love, acceptance, letting go, the change process, taking responsibility for myself, not settling for anything less than what I want, believing in myself, asserting myself, trusting myself, respecting myself, taking care of myself, and most of all...being true to myself.

It hasn't been easy for me to find peace of mind at the moment. I'm grateful to have so many wonderful people in my life who love and accept me for who I really am. I may feel lost at the moment, but my friends and family have been the light of my life. They have reminded me of who I am and how far I've come in my life. I'm taking all my life challenges and creating new opportunities to grow and be a stronger person. It will be interesting to see how the rest of this year unfolds because it will certainly reveal what I'm made of and what is meant to be.

Anticipation

In less than 12 hours it will be 2009. I will not have an official countdown this year since I'll be working tonight. Working my first New Year's Eve. I don't mind because I had my first Christmas off. I've celebrated NYE in different ways over the years: Vegas, clubbing in LA, partying with family, partying with friends. I've seen lots of family and friends 6 different times over the course of 2 weeks. I won't feel deprived out of this one holiday. I don't believe in new year's resolutions, but I do believe in having personal goals and aspirations. I think the new year is a great time to be reminded and more conscious of commitments to priorities and focusing on making personal lifelong changes for the better. New year's day doesn't compel me to think of what direction I want to take next, it's actually my birthday, which just passed yesterday. 2008 is coming to a close. I'm 26 now. I look back on the past year with so much gratitude for...
