I feel an energy for 2015 already. I have said many times over the past few weeks that I am done with 2014. I'm just done. It was a challenging year in terms of career and finances. I know some people think my looking at horoscopes is a crack-pot thing to do. But life is hard. I think any little tool that can really help you manage life is at least something to be noted. And even if I read them, it doesn't mean the be-all end-all. If I thought for one second that they were true to every single person we would all be classified under 12 categories only, ever. Please. I have more intelligence than that. But they are fun to read.
Mostly what I've read for 2015 so far states that I will be emotional. I will be more focused if I can avoid emotion taking over. It's a good time to learn. Love will grow deeper this year (and also, I will reunite with an old flame, that I should be wary of, because it will be fleeting.) Career will require a lot of hard work to be noticed for advancement; possible career change. Family will have struggles over someone leaving home; family growing closer in the second part of the year. Finances will continue to struggle but pay off greatly in 2016 if I do the work. And funny enough, these are most of my goals this year.
1) I am going to go back to school this year. I am going to bust my ass to forward my education. I'm getting old, people. I need to shit or get off the pot. Either I move forward, or I settle into this life of not enough money to live comfortably and rethink everything that I've moved toward thus far. I finally see the value in myself getting an education. The best part is, combined with my experience, it will make me a serious competitor for any job in my chosen field. (I'll write more of that when things start moving.)
2) I am going to kick my finances in the ass. Enough of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. I need to make huge changes, but running from it certainly won't solve a damn thing. It's scary, and it's probably going to hurt, hit me hard and freak me the hell out, but again, I am not getting any younger. I have my literature and a game plan. Watch out- I'll make it, yet!
3) I am going to work hard at my career. I don't want to find a new job, but you never know what may come to pass. I have seen some things over the last few months that make me question a lot about where this company is headed. Can I get on board with it? I think maybe I can. Unless I'm nothing more than a woman trying to play in a pool of men. I work in a man's industry. The inequality I am seeing (in many industries, not just mine) between men and women makes me sick. We are either equals or we aren't. It's 2015, not 1907, for the love of- WHY must women be faced with lesser treatment (mostly in the paycheque/bonuses realm) in the workforce all the time??? I don't want to look for another job... but I do need to make more. I'm either getting fairly compensated or moving on...
4) I will continue to meditate to keep my emotions in-check. I will take time to focus on me to better myself physically (health and well-being), intellectually (education) and spiritually. I will take the time to exercise, eat well, continue writing and learn.
I feel a growth year for me. I am optimistic, but for the first time, very calculated and focused on doing this the right way and less by way of emotion. Sometimes I think I'm a bit of an emotional junkie. I love the feels. I am elated at the highs and I curse the lowest of the low, forcing myself to be strong; that this too shall pass. Maybe by taking a more pro-active approach to life it will set me on a more stable path. We all have our own journey. Maybe to the 'sensibles' out there, I seem like a late-bloomer. I am not sensible. I never have been. I am a late-bloomer; I sometimes feel like the last person to realize the big 'click'. It doesn't make me less of a person. It only reaffirms my belief to always grow. Always feel the changes in your life and always learn. Always strive to be more. Wishing you each a year of growth and strength.
