The Tipping Point

I got a wonderful book as a gift a while back and I have been reading it off and on for about a year. Not because I'm a slow reader but because reading isn't something I can multi task with. And when I get a second to sit down the last thing I feel like doing is reading a book. I mean I read of course--blogs, news, gossip sites--but not the old fashion way.

So as I have been going through these turning points in my life I have decided to take huge strides towards my dreams. Helen Hayes says "rest and you rust" and I believe that to be 100% true. I was stuck in a dead end job doing something I absolutely hate, dealing with lame "relationships," not really taking care of myself like I should and I was in the middle of really losing myself when I learned through tragedy that life is a journey and the end could be right around the corner. If I have to go suddendly I want to make sure that I'm doing all I can to be happy at every moment. I can't change or control everything but little things like starting my business DivaGlam Event Marketing & Promotions or this blog have given me a purpose and really have allowed me to break out creatively. And that's what gets me going.

I get frustrated often because it's taking a lot of work and eventually will take a lot of money to get everything where I want it be. I feel like I have this great idea and people who hear it love it but I can't seem to get the show on the road--I mean I can't get that explosion in response to take me to the next level. I keep The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell on my night stand and this morning it did what it does so often--it reminded me that one little thing can make a big difference. That one person can take my mini dream to a mega reality, that one extra blog might be the one to reach masses, that one tiny event can make my dream of working for myself a reality.

In conclusion--just between us girls--we gotta keep on keepin on. And what I mean by that is everyday you work towards your dreams is a day you pile hopes on that scale till one day out of nowhere you have reached your tipping point and those hopes turn to success. If any of you have ever branched out to follow your dreams then you know how scared and self doubting I am right now. I appreciate anyone who is supporting me at the start. The only reason I wont't quit is because I know I have something golden and God has given me a creative heart and working hands so the least I can do is see it through. Gladwell says "ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread like viruses do." I hope you all catch what I caught (c'mon ladies i was tryna stay mature in this one lol) and reach for the stars because even if you miss you're still amongst the clouds.


Stay beautiful inside and out!
