southernfriedmagazine.com - Model Paris Chilton Says CHANGE!

Change comes in one’s life at critical moments. You’ll find that sometimes it’s needed and sometimes comes too late. It feels like mostly, it’s never at the right time.

The Break Up. When is the break up inevitable? When there is an empty feeling of non-worth. Break up seems hard to most. We just cannot seem to let go for some ignorant reason. Here are some of the reasons I hear: (A) We have got too many years together (B) we can make it work (C) What about our accomplishments and family. If these were important, you wouldn’t be at the break up point.

These seem to be reasons one finds to hold on to a dead end, nearing total destruction. The ole saying, “I can do better by myself.” Well, have the gaul to live up to the saying. If you are unhappy and cannot seem to get it back on track after numerous tries, “GO FIGURE”.

The Job. I live by an old prophecy told to me by a drunk with plenty of experience in making good/bad decisions during his rise and fall. He said, “You will always work for someone. Why not work for yourself? You will only have to answer and blame yourself.” Reward yourself for goals accomplishments and kick you for wrong decisions.

Most have the understanding of a graduate degree backwards. College was formed as an education to self-employment, NOT job placement. Today’s college entries begin the education course to seek job placement, with dreams of high salaries and desktop plaques with their name on them. What a false dream our schools’ marketing programs are selling! A piece of paper that over a hundred thousand others possess, all applying for one job opening. Where do those who did not get the job go on to? The very thing they were trying to escape: physical labor. If this identifies you, all I can say is, CHANGE.

It’s time to find strength to fulfill your self-worth towards your own business. It may not be in the field you are interested. Nevertheless, it will get you away from unnecessary job related stress and start the beginning of utilizing your credits earned to their NET worth.

Easier said than done, will probably be the most common excuse. NO, it is easier done. Just as you did when you cashed your last check at the bank. Find the same drive energy and motivation to design a plan and execute.

When to Move/Grow Up. This one is simple, when you finally realize you are not the Jeffersons and you have been living above your means to maintain an identity for others, not yourself. Live to please you and your family.

When the fire between two lovers has ran out of fuel - when your roommate requests you to give him or her some alone time with their companion – when your parents start charging you for groceries – when your siblings start counseling you on your dealings.

FINALLY when the landlord and/or family says, “Enough! Grow Up!”

It has been a pleasure.
