I don’t mean to be a diva
but some days you wake up
and you are Barbara Streisand
~Courtney Love

So maybe I have been a diva lately, well maybe not Barbara Streisand but more of a Courtney Love. Forgive meee!

Success

Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing, you will be
Successful
~Albert Schweitzer

A while go, when I left co-blogging on another blog, I didn’t feel like much of an success. I had to start from the bottom with this one, as I didn’t give it much attention as I was more focused on the combined blog. I was in constant competition with the other blog, until one day I realized that I was blogging for the wrong reasons. I started out the right way, but it somehow got into competition and I lost my real focus. Happiness. I can now say that it’s almost a year later, I have no idea how that other blog is doing, but I know I’m a success. Not because of fame or what other people think of me, but how I have grown and how I view my accomplishments. It’s still a huge work in progress. I still think I  get a lot of misses, but I’m happy 😀

Snuff

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn’t face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not care.
I think I made it very clear.
You couldn’t hate enough to love.
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren’t my friend.
Then I could hurt you in the end.
I never claimed to be a saint…
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

It’s about the width, not the length.

I don’t want to get to the end of my life
and find that I lived just the length of it.
I want to have lived the width of it as well.
~Diane Ackerman

The past months, I have been catching myself complaining that I just don’t have enough hours in my day. That if I had more free time I would not be Jack of all Trades, Master of None, but actually be a master of something! Then I also realized that when I do have free time, I don’t use it productively, hence not mastering anything anyway. So maybe I must just change my attitude and not look at what still needs to be done as a negative, but as an opportunity to enjoy the ride.

So to this end, I have enrolled in another course to improve my Photoshop skills,  bought more English books to read and lean the language.  I planned three weekends away for the year. Invited more people to my friends lists, RL and SL. Applied for another job and re-looked at my exercise regime. Yoga here I come.. soon I’ll be able to reach my ears with my toes (not sure if I’ll break something) and I’m planning on being a very happy busy bee.. who cares about being a master! I’m going to live my life in the width and have fun along the way.

The Secret

Remember that failure is an event, not a person

~ Zig Ziglar

One of my favourite bloggers/inspirational people is Chris Brogan and when I read this quote I was reminded of something I read when I thought I was not making progress as I wanted too. Chris said if things are not going as you want it too, re-evaluate what you are doing. Make a new goal. I didn’t change my goal, but I decided to change my approach. I decided to make my goal more visual.

His second piece of advice was, help others. I do that indirectly with my blogging. Sure, not in a RL way, but the other day someone on my timeline on Facebook commented that bloggers get angry that they are being “copied” by other people. It made me laugh out loud, because what is the point of being a fashion blogger then? Isn’t it so that you can show people a style for them to go buy the product and wear it too? If I see someone copy me, I feel flattered. Someone actually liked the way I styled enough to want to look exactly like me. It would make me feel so accomplished.  I will always encourage people and help them where I can. Even if it sometimes mean that they turn out to be a more accomplished blogger! I love seeing people happy.

Then his last piece of advice, take action every day! Do something every day to achieve your goal. My goal is huge passion, so this is the easy part. Learning a new skill, looking for something different, looking for inspiration.

So if at first you don’t succeed.. remember, that failure is an event, not a person.

Patience

Patience is not the ability to wait,
but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting
~Unknown

Patience is not really one of my strongest tributes.  I re-wrote this post a few times as I keep changing my mind on what I’m the most inpatient about, believe me there are a few things. But then I sat back and looked at it again, and then I realized, they are actually not as important to me that I want to write about it.

Except, maybe the fact that I still don’t have a new graphics card. I know, I have been going on and on about this but, I bought an awesome, top of the range PC without a graphics card, simply because I didn’t want to settle for an “okay” card, which is affordable. I want the best. Therefore I’m still using my old, significantly out of date one, thinking it’s still workable until I can tick everything above my graphics card on my priority list. Seriously though,  it’s like wearing a gorgeous Coco Chanel outfit, with flip-flops!!!  It’s hideous! Unfortunately all I can do is wait… and try to smile every time my graphics card crashes.. I’ll have to work on the attitude and good things comes to those who wait..
