Last year at this time I was single, living with two awesome room mates in the Cherry Creek area of Denver, and working for the best company in Denver (really though...it has been ranked by the Denver Post as a Top Work Place in Colorado). This year I am still single, living in the suburbs with Mom and Dad, and funemployed (it's like unemployed except more fun).
It sounds like things have really digressed for me, however the truth is that I am now more free than ever. I can choose whatever career path I want, I can move wherever I want, and I can date whoever I want.
Truthfully, it is very freeing not having anything, but it is also very scary. Last year I started the New Year declaring that 2015 was my year. I took several risks and gave up a lot. However, a lot of my risks paid off and I gained more than I gave up. I have positioned myself to make 2016 an even better year. I plan on taking more risks and adding more to my life.
I have started this blog for a few reasons. First, I want to share my thoughts and ideas with people and I want people to do the same with me. Second, I want to own my own business one day. I am already an entrepreneur, I just need to reach my full potential. This is a fun way for me to figure out where my talents can meet a paycheck. Lastly, I am writing a book and want it to be a New York Times Best Seller. This is the first step I am taking towards my incredibly huge and crazy dream.
Now that 2016 has rolled in, I am continuing on my journey of adventure, love, laughter, happiness, and a fuller life. I have spent a lot of time doing boring things and a lot of time doing amazingly fun things. Whether I was working or not, I felt like there was more to life then just being. I feel like I need to work towards something. This year, I am spending my time trying to reach goals. If it is true that the average person spends 40 years of their life and around 90,000 hours working, then I want to make every second count!
This year I am going to fall in love with my job. I am going to work hard and see results. I am going to chase it with all that I have.
I am declaring 2016 as the Year of the Career.
Happy New Year!
