So here it is. I am here. At the start of a fresh, new page. I've the open road ahead of me with no distractions, ready for me to go forth and venture forward with my life!
I know full well that from this day forward this blog will be filled with a very turbulent personalities. I know that it'll be filled with positive hopes and ambitions one day and anger, sadness and self deprecation the next. You never can be sure what to expect day after day, that's just how life goes. And I plan on documenting every feeling I feel in order for me to read back on all this one day in the future when I have made it, and reflect on how strong and persistent I was and how it was all worth it.
I am aware that last sentence was almost a bit smug, but I realise that something I'm missing is a tad bit of arrogance, or should I really say; self confidence, because I know that's what people are going to take notice of on first meeting. Of course, I don't want to be 'in your face' at all and I certainly don't want to be remembered as being 'so full of herself!' But I do know that people can soon realise if you're shy about your ideas, the way you carry yourself is incredibly important. It can be the difference from one person getting the job to the other. This is something I need to start teaching myself.
Each day I am going to keep myself incredibly busy. No procrastinating for me, no sir. I am truly in my element when I'm busy, mind on other matters, everything organised, lists made, boxes ticked, tired in the evenings sleeping soundly at night. It's the way I know that I'm really doing everything I can, really living each day to the full.
Next week I'm going to finish my portfolio, so much so I'm going to make a couple of slight variations of it, catered to each job position. I hope to make a start on updating and revamping my CV. I am then going to start my job search, phoning up agencies, explaining my situation, what career path I want to take and send them what they need. I will aim to apply to 3 jobs a day to the best of my potential, with gym interspersed imbetween.
I will get some new business cards printed, may also get a couple of lookbooks printed for interviews and just for my own record. I will make an effort to see as much of my family and friends as I can when I have free moments, keep up with films and musics, the things I love. Because this time around I'm going to try and get my life on track before the new year, and hope that when New Years Eve comes around, I'll be finding my feet within a new company, seeing in 2014 happy and hoping everything keeps going along and it'll all be a lot more settled, and I'll finally have a routine in place.
It won't be easy, but I know that if I keep at it, every single day, it'll all be worth it in the end.
So this is day 1 of getting everything in order.
