No Pain No Gain

Being an adult comes with responsibilities. Some of them we may like more some of them we like less. We just do it. Until we have to do something we do not really like. Then everything is more important than the activity we detest. Cleaning apartment, cooking, ironing. At this moment you realize that you need to pick up dress which you left at your girlfriend flat year ago. Even if you normally not a talkative person, now you feel that you need to talk with your friends and it is so important… Then you got tired, hungry, you have to eat something, rest and so on. Time goes by and at the end of the day you are feeling guilty, when you realize that day passed and you did nothing. Therefore you promise yourself – tomorrow, you will do everything what is need and even more. But 'tomorrow' never comes.

Does it sound familiar?

The truth is no one really want to do things we don't like. However those things have to be done.

We all know that “successful people are the one who do all the things unsuccessful person don't want to do”. Even more they make habits from it.

The secret is: just do the activity you have to do it. Is that really so simple?

If yes, then why becoming successful in life is so hard?

Presently I am trying to learn how to become one of those people who do things they do not like first, and I can tell you it is hard. The concept behind seems to be simple but not easy. Especially if there is no one who will tell you you have to do it! The only person who will command you – is You.

You have to face nobody but yourself and that is why it is so hard even if its so simple. Fighting against yourself is the heaviest battle you need to win and Today I am warring against my attitude 'do it tomorrow'.  I am not going to postpone it because my struggle today is for my better tomorrow. 

Did I Miss Something ?

I am 26 years old woman, When I was teenager used to watch the TV series “Sex in the city”. This show created an image in my head that even an an independent woman who is in her 30's can be sexy, attractive and single.

However lately I started to receive informations from my friends (who are roughly the same age as me);

- someone got married or is getting married

- someone has a baby or is pregnant and so on…

Most of my friends and other people around me seems to choose family and stabilization over freedom.

Am I immature or just others grew up too fast?

And what about this image of sexy, smart, single woman at her thirties?

Isn't it cool any more? It is hard for me to believe that it lost its attractiveness. Is this happening everywhere or just here in my Poland there is 'an obligation' to get married and starting family before the lady hits the “magic 30”?

I am very happy for all my friends who are happy with their other half, but from the other side with all those news I am starting to feel a pressure…

But what if some people are designed to be single? It looks like the role of the smart sexy and single woman was created for me ;-) Just kidding.

For now I know that I am not going to be bride any time soon. Therefore I am not going to bother about it, instead of I am going to have the best time of my 'single' time.

Finally I started to follow my dreams and this is the first time when I really feel that I can achieve them. I am learning new things every day, I also develop different skills. Funny, I never imagined that I had them until now. But the most important for me is that I started to push my life forward.

In life you will never know how things will go, if you will be 'lucky' to be one of those who “live happily ever after” but one thing I am sure: Investing in yourself will always pay off.
