Life is chaotic, hectic and unpredictable. When I was in college I used to think, "I can't wait until I graduate. My schedule will be straightforward and I won't have to deal with homework. I can just go to work and come home."
Well, that only lasted for about a year or two. As a non-traditional student I was already married while I was in school so by the time I graduated, I was already thinking about buying a house and having a family.
Do you ever catch yourself forgetting about the moment you're living in and only concentrate on the future? If you do, you're not alone. Although some may not categorize "future planning" as a weakness, I often take it to the next level by antagonizing over the details of what I want to accomplish versus celebrating my accomplishments.
When I sit down with my student employees and the conversation turns to their future, my goal in the discussion is for them to realize what they are doing now and make the best of it. Work harder, go above and beyond and make the most of their experience in Reeve Marketing. This is the only time in their lives where it is excuseable to make mistakes that won't cost them a boatload of money. Once they get to the real world, it's time and money and no one has sympathy when either one of those are wasted.
With that being said, I'm making a manifesto to continue to be a planner but not go overboard. I'd like to enjoy what my life has to offer right here, right now: a wonderful husband, two amazing little girls, a rewarding and challenging career, family, friends and, of course, shoes.
Speaking of which, I cannot wait to see Sex and the City 2 coming out this year! Stay tuned on that. In honor of my accomplishments in life, both personal and professional, I posted a few pictures to share - my wedding day, graduation day and the living room of our first home. Enjoy!
