Follow along on the Journey to self fulfillment and a life full of purpose!

Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life!- Dolly Parton

       I, like many, really enjoy reading quotes and relating to quotes that I find on various areas of the Internet. At this particular point in my life the quote above really stood out to me. In fact this quote feels so relatable to me that it became a huge eye opener and launched me into this Journey of finding Self Fulfillment and learning to live with more purpose. I would assume that I am not alone with feeling the way that I do but I find that not many of my close friends and relatives are easily engaged in this topic.

      I tend to always hear the advice; at least you have a good job, at least you aren't in debt, there's always next time..... the list goes on and on. But these "re-assurances" tend to make me feel more lost and bummed that I had before. I do have a good job as in, it pays decent, it is stable and I receive full benefits.... but do I love it? No... do I live under the illusion that I need it to survive? Yes....

I have been with my company for four years now and I always considered myself to be a "Lifer" here and have often joked about it with my Boss. Up until the last 6 months or so I always convinced myself that I loved it and it was where I belong.

     If I had to pinpoint the moment that I began to feel differently I would have to say it was after leaving an unhealthy and toxic relation. The whole ordeal sort of flung me into a completely different direction than I could have guessed it would. I became a dreamer, but still have yet to become the Do'er. And that is what brings me to this blog! I am excited to say that I am finally going to kick it into gear and start Doing and was interesting in documenting the Journey in hopes that others would be interested in a similar path.

      I am done with the petty excuses that I had grown so accustomed to making such as; "I never have the time", "I never have the money", "I lack the motivation" and I am ready to start Making the time, investing in myself and my dreams and finding that motivation! It is an exciting journey really and I hope that I get so many chances to interact with others that have similar goals and objectives! So please, Join me on the Journey of Self fulfillment and seeking a life full of purpose! Finally live that dream or help others along the way!
