It's about time

It's come to my attention that I need to move on with my life. You know how we all say, "I need a change!", but we never go through with it? Well, now's my chance. I know that my short term self-interests, along with my middle to long term self-interests need to be satisfied. So, to begin with... I'm moving on finally. I've come to the conclusion that that part of my life is over. (If you're close to me, you know what that means). And, as far as my middle to short term self-interests, I've got a plan. Hospitality is my passion. I know that's what I excel in, and that's what my calling is in life. It feels right whenever I'm doing something Hospitable. So, hopefully this summer, I will be working at Marriott, (which is the job I had before NYFP). And, when I graduate, I can potentially work with Marriott full-time. It's time to grow up, and although I've been preparing myself for "the real world" (which I feel like I've experienced since I was 18), I haven't really had a "goal". Hopefully, with my connections at JMU and some really sweet recommendations, I can become a part of the Marriott family. They're an incredible company full of honesty and humbility (I'm pretty sure I just made up that word). They started, essentially, with a dream and became an incredible empire http://www.marriott.com/careers/history.mi. I would be proud to work with them, and hopefully change the world like they have. Although we don't see companies such as Marriott as world-changing, I think you would be happily surprised to know that they indeed are. Marriott, obviously, is not the only company that has made a great impact on society. 


So, now that I'm excited about this change of pace, I just need motivation to stay on this pace. Sometimes, an end goal is not motivation enough. Sometimes, you need the strength of friends, family, and sometimes strangers, to boost your confidence. In my experience, it has been the strangers that tell me how successful I will become, that means the most. It's one thing to hear it from someone who knows you and cares for you, but it's another thing when a complete stranger sees the goodness in you. Hopefully, one day, my desires to better this world will come true.
