Someone said to me recently "it doesn't matter what other people say or do, as long as you hold your values and remember who you are, you'll make it out the other end." I know this was said in the context of living the corporate life but isn't it easily applied to life as well?
I used to be very clear who I was and what I wanted. I wanted to find happiness around me, I wanted to spread positivity. I believed in fighting for equality, I believed finding a way to make a change. But now, I believe in making money. And I believe in fighting my way up the corporate ladder, to make a name for myself, to make myself believe that I have what it takes.
Even if I lose myself, I know one thing. I have high expectations for myself. If I set my mind to doing something, I plan to succeed. But it's terrible for myself to notice how much values have changed in a little over two months.
But it's a good thing. To know. To notice, without judgement. Without judgement but will wishful to change. In the back of my head, I know who I want to be and where I want to go. I just need to believe in myself and remember what I believe in.
Balance, love and life.
That's all I need. All the money, the status, the perception I give to the world doesn't matter, if I can't look into myself and say I'm proud of who I am.
So let this be my journey.
To finding who I was, am. To remember what is important to me.
Love, C.
