Living Out My Vision

Everyone knows I came to college with a very specific list of goals: to get an outstanding education, make lasting relationships, develop myself professionally, and to dominate the PR/Journalism worlds. I had a plan, a vision, and realistic goals. I should have been set. But the more exposure I gain to real world and the industry, the more detailed and expansive my vision gets! Once again, I'm in the midst of a great balancing act, wondering if it's possible to do it all.

After making colored coded list after colored coded list, I think I finally have an answer to my question: YES! Yes, I can have my latte, drink it, and even have a Special K bar on the side. My entire belief system says that I can. I refuse to believe that I have all of these talents, passions, and curiosities for arbitrary reasons. Everything I am and can be has a specific purpose and place, even if I don't know what that is yet. I believe this is a fundamental truth about everyone: well all have immense potential inside of us that we must tap into. We owe this not only to ourselves, but to the world. You never know what you were meant to do, until you do it. We are too qualified to waste our time, talents, and passions.


I'm so over stressing over all of the ifs, ands and buts of life; it's time to stop thinking and start doing. One lesson I've learned recently is that your life doesn't start until you start living it! I can sit and think about all of the awesome opportunities I'd love to have and the things I want to do, or I can actually get out there and start doing them. I owe it to myself to at least try; and if I fail, I'll know that I did everything in my power to make my life happen. Of course since I'm an OCD perfectionista, failure isn't an option anyway.

So here's to living without fears or inhibitions, living with purpose, and living out my vision!
