PUSH myself like never before in 2008!

Mondays are always so hard on me and not because I go to bed very late Sunday night. It just means the beginning of the week at a job where I’ve been for 3 years and have no plans of staying at. All my life so far, I’ve pretty much worked at office/corporate jobs. I hate it. Yeah, yeah…I’m qualified. But it’s NOT what I want to do. It’s actually quite depressing that I have not pushed myself to get the hell outta here. That’s what I want flowing through my veins….DETERMINATION.
What I want to do, involves me saving non-stop for about 6 months, that way if it doesn’t work out, I have $ to fall back on. Ho-hum.
I’ve got to learn what drives me within to PUSH myself!

Try and fail, but don’t fail to try.

And that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

“I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.”

One of my best friends is moving back here in a few months.
She has great plans and ideas for us. We both have this itching drive in us that’s yearning to come out. I believe in pushing the hell out of myself, but I think its just as nice and rewarding when you have someone backing you up and pushing you the whole way through.
I see nothing but changes, good changes. (:

“There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength and your youth. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself: “It all depends on me”.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.
G.B Shaw, 1893

_{When I go after something, I want to go after it with everything I have. I want to push myself to the edge}

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

I push myself everyday to be the best Mom I can. I talk to my kids, listen to all they have to say, laugh with them often, COMMUNICATE is the key and I don’t put a soul before them. But know what? They still are gonna act up and do what they want: TEENAGERS!
I love her to death, but my oldest drives me crazy!
I keep telling myself “that it’s just a bump in the road” and this is not going to push me away from her, it’s going to push me to be there even more for her and love her even harder.
