One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

on
At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

      "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have    
        imagined."    -Henry David Thoreau

As you know, during this time of reflection and redemption I have been focusing on achieving my dreams. I have also tried to identify my barriers to achieving those dreams. I realize that the barriers are largely of my own creation.

I wasn't born into privilege, but I was blessed to have parents who provided for my needs, including college and who are self sufficient.  I have the luxury of being able to focus on my own life and my own family.

I am also an attorney.  That means that I am more highly educated than most of the population. It also means that I know a lot of talented and educated people.  So why haven't all of my dreams come true?

I believe that I have the answer. I haven't achieved my dreams because I have failed to pursue them confidently. Instead, I have thought about my dreams, talked about my dreams, and imagined what they would be like. That's a start, but it is not enough.

I need to believe in my dreams. I need to believe in me. And, I need to stay focused. "Belief" and "Focus" may just result in all of the confidence I need. 

What do you think that you need to accomplish your dreams?
