Motivational Monday #15

Hello Lovelies,

It's that time again when I use my Monday to try and motivate all you out there (or just the people that take the time out to read my blog).

I was sat here for a long time last night trying to think of how I was going to say what I wanted to say.
I have decided that I am going to share some personal information about my life recently and how it has motivated me even more for my future, and I hope it will do the same for you.

Sometimes, life is very simple. Everything is black and white, and everything seems to make sense.
Sometimes, life is a pain in the arse. Everything is rubbish and complicated, and there doesn't seem to be a way out of a downward spiral of negativity.

Today. Life is good.
Life isn't always simple and it isn't all roses and rainbows, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be.
If there was absolutely anything I would like people to take from this post, it would be this by Anthony Burrill;

Work hard and be nice to people.

I do believe, sometimes, it really is as simple as that and it really is the easiest thing to do.

Yesterday, on the 10th November 2013, after 2 and a half years of tests, I was given the all clear and I am officially clear of cancer! No, I haven't had cancer but had a horrible scare that has meant I have been in and out of the hospital for the past 2 and a half years. This is something no one really knows about, as I have just been getting on with it and it is very personal. As ridiculous as it is, sometimes, we have to receive bad news or be put into a bad situation to come out better on the other side, but that shouldn't be the case. Life is yours. No one elses, if you want something go and get it! There was no way I was letting this set me back and make me not achieve the things I set out to achieve. So, not only this week have I officially graduated from University with my 2:1, I have also been given the opportunity to work for an amazing company in my dream job as a Digital Account Executive. If you work hard, go above and beyond of what is expected, and want something hard enough you can always, always achieve and get what you want.

Do you think if I let or you let all the bad things that get in the way of life, we'd be where we are today? Hell no!

If I quit university when I was at my lowest, I wouldn't be able to stand here and say I have a decent degree and amazing memories to go with it.

If I didn't work hard and volunteer as often as I could, with every day off I had, I wouldn't be able to stand here and brag about all the skills I have, the amazing people I have met and the places I have been to.

And if I stopped and gave up on my job hunt and let myself fall into a negative spiral, I wouldn't be able to stand here and I say I landed the job of my dreams and can officially say I am a career lady and can start enjoying my life, my future and growing up.

If you want something, go and get it. Life isn't here to hand you anything for free, nor does it owe you anything. You earn what you get in life. So, be the best you can be, do the best you can do in everything you do and make the most of the people you have in your life - stop taking things for granted. Get up and do something, make yourself happy and achieve the life you deserve.

And the be nice to people? Just do it.

It's not hard, it's actually very, very easy and will make someone's day.

Life can be simple, you just have to let it be.

Hopeful
