Horoscope

I've never been a huge horoscope follower but lately, horoscopes have really rang true to my life. I looked at my 2011 horoscope & it really is true so far.

"You're an upbeat person, and no matter what happens, you do your best to make the most of it - especially when it comes to acquiring knowledge. You'll learn more in the first few months than you did in all of 2010. Don't push yourself too hard, however. There's no hurry. Don't forget to take time out to relax and enjoy life."

My favorite part is " You'll learn more in the first few months than you did in all of 2010". I sure did learn a lot in 2010. I learned about friendship, marriage & owning a home. However so far in 2011, I've learned so much about myself. I've finally began taking the time to really understand myself and what I want. I've been dealing with some personal things that have lead to a lot of self-exploration. I also really like the part "Theres no hurry. Don't forget to take time out to relax and enjoy life". Anyone who knows me knows that I am a goal-directed person. I create a goal and rush to complete it, sometimes not really enjoying the ride along the way. In 2011, I've realized there is no hurry. That I must make time to smell the roses along the run. I've realized that everything always falls into place.... eventually. I am learning to be patient, especially in the areas I cannot control.

As grad school is another area that I must not push myself too hard. I have met so many great friends & am really enjoying my classes however I do get anxious that Im still in school. I love school & learning, but Im also excited for a career in counseling. I'm content with where my life is at the moment but Im very motivated to get through school & & get that Masters!!
