Goals and Dreams

Everyone has a dream or a goal that they are trying to reach for.  Even if you don't think you do, you do.  There is always something in this world that is sure to make you the happiest you have ever been.  That is your dream.

Everyone's dreams are different.  Some may be the same as others but it is still your dream and your life.  Only you know what that dream is and how to completely satisfy that goal.

For quite sometime now, I have known that I'm a dreamer.  I was silly enough to get it tattooed on my hip just to remind myself that I can always fufill my dream if I just set my mind to it.  For the last couple of years, I have been completely lost on what exactly my dream is.  A lot of things make me happy so it is hard to just choose one thing to fully satisfy me.

This semester in school, I was given a project to design a website about myself.  On that website, I was required to have a page about my goals in life.  Well, being a senior in my major, about to graduate, you would think that would be a simple page.  It was definitely the toughest for me.  I have had this project since early February and the project is due next week.  I have just now completed my goals page! I had the entire webpage completed 2 weeks ago with the exception of that page. 

I have finally been able to put it down into writting.  My dreams or "goal" in life is to help people.  Simple as that.  As long as I am doing that I will be completely satsified.  Granted, add a little fitness, health, and fun and that would be my ideal way to help people.  I want people to be the best they can be and know they are the best they can be.  That is something I strive for everyday.  I want everyone to know that you can do anything you want to do, if you just set your mind to it.  Including health and fitness is just a great way to show people that you are doing the best you can.  As long as you are doing something to better yourself, that is enough to make yourself proud and strive for the next day.

If you are interested, check out my website I have been working on for a class at this link. Now the goal page isn't updated but it wil be tomorrow afternoon because this project is due Monday morning :) So check back Monday for a completed webpage!

March Madness Kayla Edition

Hello blog world!

It has been quite sometime since I have written a blog and my last one was not an update on "Running Through Life".  That title has been more relevant than ever this semester.  I never thought my mind would be racing with so many thoughts about my future.  Like you all know, I'm a planner and my thoughts have never made me this dazzled.  Because it has been sometime since my last blog, I will probably be writing a series of blogs about everything that has been going on.

I feel like I have been cheating on my virtual journal.  I have been keeping a written journal that I write something down, even if it's just what I did that day,  in this journal.  I'm hoping in a year I can look back at it and see how much I have changed and what happened through the year.

Spring Break was last week.  It was a nice week to just clear my head of all my thoughts and crazy schedule.  Reading books, hanging out with friends, splurging on food and drinks, and playing games all while being on the beach! Ah... it was amazing.

However, I still managed to have thoughts running through my head.  But the only one that I let stay there during the week.  That thought was "What are my goals in life?" Coming to college I knew I wanted to do something with nutrition.  I wanted to help people lose weight, make a healthier lifestyle for them, and just encourage people all over the world.  After realizing I wasn't going to be able to get a degree in Nutrition & Dietetics.  Personality tests revealed only a small part of what I thought I would do with my major in Hotel & Restaurant Management.  The title makes it seem my only options are hotels and restaurants.  False.  The amount of jobs that fall into the category of hospitality is HUGE!

This made me realize that I can still fulfill my dream with my degree.  I have never been one to give up on my dreams and I don't plan on doing that now.  The only problem now is finding out how to get to my dream.  Finding the right path to get me there.  And that's where I let the thoughts stop while I was on break.  It was a week to take a break from the job search, focus on myself, and have a good time while I was enjoying my last week long vacation for A WHILE!!  I still don't know the answer to that path and probably won't until I make it to the finish line.  But that's okay.  I'm going to make the best decision for myself at this point in my life.

Living out my dreams,

Kayla
