A Newfound Hunger

I really need to get my laptop so I can stay on this blog thing everyday... missed 4 days! so this weekend was quite interesting....but we will get in to that in another post...I had a meeting at work today, you know the kind where your department sits around and talks about ways to better the department and group morale and any other updates that are going on within your department. As I sit there thinking "when is it going to be over so I can go back to my desk!" the speaker (one of my bosses) says something that is truly insightful. "Be hungry...there aren't enough of you that are hungry..." she went on in to a story of how she made it to where she is but even so she is still hungry for more. So with that I said to myself" Are you really hungry? Yes I am. Are you feeding yourself or are you just playing with your food? meaning am I really taking advantage of the opportunity that I have been given? and i came up with an answer...

No I am not. I started out really good but now I find myself in a rut...just at a standstill with my priorities completely out of sorts...letting my everyday life get in the way of my professional life. Letting my bad habits effect my work and possibly ruining something that is really good for me. It is time for me to take it a step further and grow up a little bit more than the Aeleen I was when I first started with this company. Everyone tells me i have the potential to get to where i want to be...and i want to be at the top. So now is the time to get off that couch I stopped at and continue my journey in the professional world. This isn't a game, life will swallow you and spit you back out if you let it. So i am getting out of this hole that i have fallen in to and stepping forward with my life. Moving away from the mess that i let drag me down. The best revenge is success and I am ready to get my revenge on all the things that have held me back.

Although everything in this world is corrupted right now (yes the company you work for is some what corrupted as well) I am going to take advantage of the things that have been provided for me and use the hell out of company to better myself professionally and as an individual. Move forward and Rise from the messy situations i have created for myself. Now is MY time, no more slacking...there is NO time for that.
