Less Talking, More Action

For at least the last six months, I have been questioning my life. I have been questioning the decisions I've been making, my career path, my location, my wants, my needs, my friends, my family, EVERYTHING. I have felt for a long time that I am not doing enough with my life, I could be, rather should be, doing more. What am I doing, where am I going, how am I getting there, wait; if I don't know where I am going how do I figure out how to actually get there? These questions have been racking my brain for quite some time and what I noticed was, that in having conversations about these questions with other people my age, I am not the only one questioning life. 

It seems that I, and most of my good friends, are going through a quarter life crisis. The life after college and before the family. That in between time of our lives where we are thrown into the world with an abundance of education and not a lot of experience. College doesn't prepare you for life. It merely gives you the tools to navigate through it. But if you don't know where you are going, how do you know how to get there? 

Last night I went with friends to watch The Social Network, a movie about Facebook, a world-wide phenomenon that has made one twenty-something year old the youngest billionaire in the world. Billionaire. He had an idea, and he put that idea into motion, and in a mere six years, became a billionaire. Billionaire.

It got me thinking, this movie did. It generated conversations, and it really motivated me to stop questioning and start doing. I know what I want to do, I've always known what I wanted, I just wasn't sure how to get it. Until I got it; as Pablo Picasso once said, "Action is the foundational key to success". In order to succeed, you must DO something. You must take action, you must take all those ideas and conversations and make them happen. Because if you don't make something happen for yourself trust, no one else will. It's time to start doing instead of talking, it's time to start running instead of walking; it's time to take control of life, and start scratching the surface, of your fullest potential. ~V~

I will do something awesome with my life :)

Progression of Random Thoughts...

So I told myself when I first started this blog that I was going to utilize it to it's fullest potential. Well, two months after I wrote my first entry, I am back, after forgetting my password, updating my page, and trying to grasp onto some kind of inspiration that would facilitate a blog-worthy entry, I decided to recycle some of my old thoughts, previously posted on, yes, you guessed it, Facebook. I figure if I just start writing maybe something will come to me, right? Here goes:

"How simple of me, to be consumed with my own insignificant stresses when those around me are grieving, fighting, and struggling to stay afloat."

‎""Our lives our defined by opportunities...even the ones we miss" In order for new opportunities to arise, the seeds of courage, determination, and perseverance must be sown"

‎"Without the proper care, nutrients, and space to grow, a rosebush can never bloom to it's fullest potential"

"Life is about progression, learning from the past and making a better future. We must continue to evolve in order to fulfill our purpose"

"There comes a point in our lives where we must decide what really matters to us, what is most important, and what really drives us to reach our fullest potential. I've thought and thought and thought, when all along the answer was right in front of me..."

"I am definitely at a crossroads in my life that will lead to the next path in the eVoLuTioN of Me"

So the theme in my life for the past couple of months has been the same; change, evolution, progression. I am left to remember, things don't always happen on OUR time, but they always happen ON time!! :) <3 Vita

Finding Beauty in Every Day

When we actually stop to enjoy the beauty that lies in our every day, it's amazing what we can discover.

Bored? Let's Blog!

Well, I have finally done it. I have created a blog! An outlet for my creative energy, my creative energy that would not let me sleep the entire night (I have been awake since 1:30 a.m., yes I took a three hour cat-nap before this time but none the less...) however after hours of Facebook stalking, googling random topics, and somewhat job-searching, I have finally done something productive for the night, well now early morning.

I decided to start a blog because as you may or may not know, I am a writer. I have been writing since my pre-teen days, have fell in and out of love with words time and time again, and recently rekindled our long running romance. So I thought what better way to brush up on the old English minor than to start a blog. Who knows, maybe no one will read this, maybe it's only purpose will be to serve as an outlet on the nights my thoughts supersede me. Whatever the future may hold for this blog (omg so am I now considered a "blogger"? How exciting!) I hope it is entertaining, enlightening, encouraging, and any other positive word that starts with an 'e' (by the way I love alliteration, as you may come to find).

Check back often because I have a feeling I will be putting this site to good use this summer... much more to come! :) Vita V
