The Simply Luxurious Life newsletter 87

Dreams can come true, they honestly can.  And the key is knowing what you want and then being willing to put the hard work in until you arrive at your goal.
 
The hard part is knowing what to do when they arrive at your desired goal and it waiting just in front of you to take in and savor. Once you grasp it your life will take on a new feel, pace and outlook.  And it may even feel uncomfortable like a new shoe, but if it really is what you were hoping for, have faith that after a few strolls around the block you will feel right at home in your new surreal world.
 
It may force you to eliminate things you once thought were important.  It may force you to realize that you don't need what you once thought you needed to live a full life.  And it may force you grow into a better person than you thought you could be.  I beg of you, seize this opportunity.
 
Currently, I find myself in such a situation where I am leaving one world where I was dreaming and into another that is seeing my dreams evolve into something real, and I'm having to adjust my life because while it is extremely busy, it is busy in the most wonderful way possible.
 
I haven't mastered my new schedule yet, but I'm getting there, and I refuse to quit trying.  After all, there are too many wonderful gifts to be enjoyed and treasures to be cherished, and I've worked (and am still working) hard to arrive at this point in my life.  
 
Always keep that in mind - all of the hard work, days, months and years that you've invested and refuse to let it slip through your fingers with one unappreciative wave of the hand.  Trust me, you'll kick yourself later when you realize that not everyone gets a chance to turn their dreams into reality because not everyone is willing to put forth the necessary effort. You are, you have and you deserve to make this new life work for you. Savor it, revel in it and never take it for granted.

I do hope your week treated you well, and with Valentine's Day around the corner, I hope that no matter who you are with or whether you are your own best company that you are treated well and reminded that you are very special. Until next week, I'll see you on the blog.  Thank you again for subscribing to The Simply Luxurious Life newsletter.
