Dream Big

There are times in life where everything is working and going to plan and then there are other times when everything we have worked for and have tried to build, slowly crumbles around us. The latter description sums up most of my year. Waiting, wishing and trying to make things change to improve my life and for some reason they don't. A perfect example. I applied for a job and was called for an Interview. The company informed me that 2,000 people applied for the position and that 2.1 million people are unemployed so what makes me special. I gave my answer (no pressure of course after hearing all of that!) and left the Interview feeling I had done my best. A week later I was told I wasn't accepted for the position, even though I was their number 1 candidate. You want to know why? Not because I had messed up in the Interview but simply because the other lady had known one of their course assessors. I was devastated by this emotional blow especially because it was over something as petty as knowing another person. 

However this experience taught me the value of perseverance and hope. No, I may not have got the job that would have helped me move my life forward as a young female in her mid twenties. But it taught me to keep pushing and putting myself out there. There will always be something that will drag me down but it is up to me to get back up and try again. Hope, no matter how small helps keep our dreams alive so keep positive my friends and dare to dream big!

Fear

I just got back from conquering a massive fear of mine, heights! I hate height with a passion and somehow managed to get on a plane last year to go on holiday! When the pilot announced that we were 15,000 feet in the air, I wanted to die! Having went through that ordeal and come to the realisation that it didn't kill me, I figured I could try and conquer it again. So this evening I went out on the London Eye and even though it was in the dark, it still made me feel like throwing up!

While I was there, glued to the flimsy seat, I saw everyone else enjoying themselves and realised that I was missing out so I stood up, took out my camera and snapped away at the beautiful lit up city of London and guess what happened? When I stopped focusing on how high up I was, I no longer panicked and the fear vanished. The lesson? Feel the fear and do it anyway.

Feeling positive

Aah yes! As Summer comes to an end many of us will feel sad and as Autumn approaches many of us will pull out our favorite comfy jumpers and socks to embrace the season. Autumn is a lovely season and for the past year or so,  I have used it to meditate on my life, what I've achieved and where I'm heading. I have a very good feeling that my blog "miss 24" will help me to achieve better things that really add warmth to your hearts, the kind of things that money (no mater where you shop!) just cannot buy. So I've included some positive quotes to inspire you on too! Enjoy
