Pondered the difference between falling in love and being in love.
Falling in love is the bio-chemical reaction we have to another person. It's completely illogical and scary, but it creates a high better than any drug.
Being in love is the unconditional acceptance of the other person and willingness to stick it out indefinitely.
I fall in love more frequently than most people because I was addicted to the high.
Was.
I am finally ready to find true love and be willing to communicate what I can give to and need to have from a man. I will not settle, but I also welcome the ups and the downs of having a long-lasting relationship.
2009 is going to be a good year, I can already feel it.

don't discredit
In discussing my career with another friend tonight, I realized that I do have motivation, and I have always been serious about my career.
Like everything else, I just do things on my own terms.
Perhaps that independence has hurt me as I am still in the infancy of my career.
No need to beat myself up any further. If anything, I want to remind myself that all the ups and downs in my life is what makes me an excellent manager and employee. I need to be honest with myself and be proud of all that I have done in the last 20 years.
I still remember my very first job as a babysitter. I enjoyed it so much that I took all the business away from the friend whom I subbed for in the first place.
I know what I have to do now, and I will get to it.

Motivation
Had coffee w/guy friend this afternoon. We talked about his latest business idea. I was impressed that like most of my guy friends, he is so motivated.
He broke it down: money or looks. Most women will settle for looks or money. The pressure for men to make bank is to land a hot chick.
Made me ponder about my motivation. I was never career-oriented because my fun life came first. Now, w/o a stable job, my fun is curtailed.
Although I have always been able to do w/little or make do, I am motivated by my expensive lifestyle. More importantly, I crave the excitement of an active life.
Time will tell how this period of limitations will shape me. My optimism got me through the first phase. My family and friends got me through the second phase.
What will be next?
