Motivation

Ever seen the Lion King? Have you watched it in the last ten years? If the answer is no, that is your assignment. Get it done and then read the following...

Ironically, I will say that I see Simbas predicament to be similar to mine right now. Some crappy shit happened (his father died) and he lost the motivation and commitment to being all be could be. He lost sight of his goals. He became convinced that they no longer mattered and that he was no longer fit to be king. At some point in college I lost sight of my goals and feel that I am no longer fit to be an attorney. To rule the world I once envisioned in my dreams. Well, it is time that I refocus on my goals and keep them in focus for now until eternity. What this means is that there will be no moving up to Alaska. There will be no more dating of inferior men. And yes, as rude as that might sound, the word is inferior. I want a career driven, successful, outgoing, and passionate person just like me.

So we move forward with the plans for law school. If you haven't head the blog with my personal statement in it, I would greatly appreciate your feed back. Let me know :-).

I am planning to take the LSAT, for real, in February. My birthday will be a celebration of the LSAT being complete. I look forward to having it done, once and for all. Perhaps I will need to create a study schedule. I'm going to to look for a study buddy in the area that I can meet with a couple times a week and study together. I think it will be nice to keep me honest. I'm excited for the opportunity.

So I'm sitting in Seattle, at a restaurant, waiting for Josh to get done with a work meeting so we can have dinner. He's fun to hang out with. And it's really nice to be in Seattle. I enjoy the noises of the city and the people. It's fun to watch the people in their daily lives. I love all the energy and the life of the city. Now if I can only find a job, we'll be good to go. I never would have guessed that I might turn into a city girl one day. Go figure, right? The down home country girl from Alaska is now loving like in Seattle? Once again, life is funny sometimes. I have a line from a song playing in my head. Can't remember the title and I don't know the artist but "life is, so love the one you got cuz you might get run over or you might get shot". And it's true. Just enjoy what you're doing ,whatever that is and stay positive. You can accomplish anything when you're positive about your life. Attitude is everything. Haven't we heard that before? I think I need to set small goals for myself and when I accomplish them, check them off to make myself feel more accomplished and more positive. Brianna gave me a great idea on this subject -- when you make a chores list, for example, rather than writing "clean the bathroom", split it up -- " clean the toilet", "Clean the tub", etc. That means you have smaller goals and more accomplishments to be excited about. I'm going to work on that...
