this monday isn't like others that have passed. it's a mix of changes, both good and bad. but i think it's relevant to today's post because the only way to keep moving forward is to be stay motivated. whether you want to get in shape, find a better career, secure a raise, start a business or even move to a different city or bigger space, you always have to keep your eye on the horizon.
all of my monday motivation posts so far have been geared toward work, business and career, but i want this one to be about personal life as well. relationship-wise, i'm starting over and back on the singles scene. and work-wise, i'm still self-employed and hoping to maintain this status at least through the end of the year. i'm so thankful for all the amazing people i've met through my career and my entrepreneurial journey as they're the ones who've helped me sustain my business when i had doubts (i can't believe it's already been 18 months!).
i always say that everything happens for a reason. being solo has lit an extra fire under me to make ends meet (Z moved into my place back in fall 2011, and we recently moved into a 1 bedroom apt in May - larger space means higher rent!), which can definitely be a challenge when you're living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. to be honest, if i have to get a desk job next year to cover extra expenses, it just has to be done. that doesn't mean that my dreams of being self-employed will be over, and i also feel better knowing other entrepreneurs (like the founder of Eclectic Star) are feeling the same way.
and as far as dating and future relationships, we'll just have to wait and see. i'm open to whatever positive changes the universe wants to send my way - both personally and professionally. i'd love to know how you stay motivated when life throws you curveballs. or if you're seeking some advice, a former client has some great tips that'll help!
