Can you relate to this day?
The quotes we just shared with you are from real people that we have met. They come from all types of women— young, old, single, married— but most especially Moms.
Can You Relate to the Following Day?
You have kids, work full time, and have a part- time business to earn extra money for your family.
Your day begins when you wake up at 4 a.m. to prepare for breakfast, followed by waking all the kids including your husband.
By 6:30 a.m., the morning chaos is complete, so you take your shower. You know you must walk out the door by 7:10 a.m. to get the kids to school and yourself to work on time.
Your workday is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (if you’re lucky), followed by the drive home.
Around 5:45 p.m., you arrive home to a house that desperately needs to be cleaned. There are dishes in the dishwasher that must be put away before you can fill it again with dinner dishes.
Hopefully, you have groceries in your fridge and pantry, so that you can cook dinner. The family eats around 6:30 or 6:45 p.m. You finish dinner around 7:30 p.m., followed by dinner clean up.
It’s getting late, so you make sure that the kids are finished with their homework before bedtime at 8:30 p.m. You finish putting them to bed by 9 p.m.
Now, you take care of the part-time business. You check e-mail from 9 to 11 p.m. By 11 p.m., you are already very tired. You have no time to talk to your husband, let alone be romantic with him.
This cycle repeats everyday of your life, isn’t it?
Aside from being a Mom or a Wife, What else are your roles in life?
Let me ask you a question, Aside from being a Mom or a Wife,
What else are your roles in life?
Ponder on that question and you can answer that when you get home.
But let me share you my roles in life.
- I’m a wife
- A mother to our high maintenance shih tzu
- A church goer person
- I’m a part-time stylist / sales associate at Ann Taylor
- I’m a Real Estate Agent
- A student
- A entrepreneur
- I have another Part-Time Job as a Key Marketing Executive of Market Square
- A Toastmaster
These are the 9 responsibilities that I have to perform on a regular basis.
You might ask, Am I insane to take on that too much responsibilities?
Let me tell you, Yes! Call me crazy but, that’s where I am right now.
Why?
Why, am I doing all these?
- Spiritually , because I want to live forever in Paradise on Earth and see my father get resurrected in Paradise on Earth
- Materially, Because I want this business to grow successfully so I can pay our credit card debts by year December 2010. In other words, I want this business to be the vehicle to achieving freedom. Freedom to go with my husband, dog, future kids or friends and family, anytime, anywhere by November 2010.
- Last but not the least, Emotionally, I want to bring my mother here in the US in two years from now. I want to pick her up at the airport on May 15, 2011. And stay here from 1-2 months. And be able to tour her all over St. Louis and USA.
Those are my Goals.
What about you, have you specified your Goals yet?
