My big fat BIG dream!

Yes of course I have one of those! One should always invest in a big dream!

I am a realist so it may not be too out of the box, but it's GREAT enough for me! One day, once I have travelled and worked, I would like to start my own company with my brother, sister and boyfriend! The company will consist of:

• -          Public relations – that’s my department
• -          Marketing – that’s my brother’s department
• -          Event and project management – that’s my sister’s department
• -          Advertising and web design – that’s my boyfriend’s department

I am sure that this is going to be a winning combination! I am so looking forward to it! One more thing – I know that it is going to be a HUGE success!

Anyone willing to invest?

Conventional is a good fall-back position isn’t it?

When you have no other option than being conventional and stuck in your square, which has worked for you thus far, then it should be a solid fall-back position.

On the other hand, I don’t think that it should be your first choice. When you are young, like me, you need to take chances and calculated risks. You need to try new things and decide what works for you and what doesn’t. When you are young you shouldn’t be afraid to try new things and live life to the fullest.

I took a risk and I can say that thus far it has worked out perfectly! It is unconventional, and only if there is no other option will I ever go back to my conventional fall-back position!

You?

You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time…

… or so they say.

I have experienced the nasty pain of this once before. I was chasing my dream of becoming a public relations professional, can’t wait for that dream to become a reality, and while chasing that dream it seemed that I lost so many aspects of my personal life along the way. My studies were blossoming and I was enjoying every moment of it, however I lost so many friends, friends that I thought would be a part of my life forever. It is sad to think about the difficult decisions which had to be made. Although, there are many days when I still feel sad, and I miss my friends terribly, I have to trust the Lord that I have made the right decisions and that it will all be worthy it in the end. 

So, however much I wanted to catch both rabbits, in my personal and professional life… I had make a decision.

When choosing which rabbit to chase, make sure that you think about it before you decide. Remember that the chances of ever catching the other rabbit are slim to none.

Plans for the future

The year is drawing to a close and it is time to start putting the gears into motion. It’s time to start thinking about what I need to do in order to ensure a prosperous future for myself.

I have been an intern far too many times, three times to be exact. The thought of being an intern again next year is making me feel sad, I would like to start my “real” job and get my life on track. I am 22 years old and soon I will need my own car, my own little place with my own little everything.

Right now I am doing as much as I can to certify that I become the great Public Relations professional I am destined to be. By the grace of God and through His guidance all things are possible.

So, I am going to start job-hunting right away! Big, dangerous world – here I come! I am ready, are you?

Nothing more dangerous than an idea, when you have one idea…

Generally, when you are put into a situation where you either: fear for your life, fear for the life of someone you care about, or are going to loose something that you have work exceedingly hard on; and there is only one solution to the problem -  you usually go with it. Sometimes it’s a great idea other times it’s a ridiculous one. When it’s the latter there is a vast possibility of failure, but you take that risk anyway (as non-calculated as it may be).  Then… you pray, and hope for the best.

Not having a plan B or second option may have the most unwanted and dangerous outcome! Therefore, never go into a situation without having a backup plan or without noting the strengths and weaknesses of your plan. If your plan has a few holes in them, work on it before you do something you might someday regret. 

My boyfriend is an artist

We are as different as night and day, but at time we are like two peas in a pod (yes, yes a cliché I know). He is the creative one, who is able to: paint, design, develop and create whereas I am the one who: reads, over-thinks and writes. In many ways these two forms of writing and artistry are similar, both needing inspiration and creativity. However, when we were put to the test it was obvious how different we were. 

The test we took was one of those pictures of cows with the word fish inside (there are many other examples). When asked what we see I said: “I see the word fish”. He said: “I see a cow”. 

We had a great laugh about this, showing how different we see things. But when we compare our way of thinking we are completely similar.

He is the paint, I am the paint brush and the world is our canvas. 

My boyfriend painted this... Ag, he is too talented lol :)
