Lesson Learned

There comes a time when you just have to sit down and ask yourself, what is it you really want. Not what your best friend wants or what your family thinks is best for you but what you want for yourself. I thought I wanted love but then that didn't quite work out as I hoped it would. Which taught me one of the biggest lessons I have learned yet. Going after my career and my dreams and making them reality is more than any guy can give me. My mother, my best friend, told me something that I won't be able to forget, "One's pride will always be more important than someone else's love." You matter more than anyone in this world and you will only be there when someone leaves you. However, the beauty of being so sure about a certain decision you've made, you learn a lot about yourself. I was in this situation not too long ago and I learned so much about myself that I knew I wasn't the same person anymore. I grew into such a strong determined woman, there was nothing or no one that was going to hold me back from life. Yet letting go was not an easy task, everything worth doing is difficult. What makes anything worth doing is knowing that you will benefit and grow from the outcome. So, I leave you with this quote from Tom Hanks, "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great."
