#14 The Guy Worth Waiting For

2010-08-26T18:56:00.000-07:00

My sister Mariely first showed me this and I absolutely love it! So since it is her birthday today, I am going to dedicate this post to her :) She says: this is the kind of guy worth waiting for...the kind of guy worth putting time into...i know u girls will agree:

Find a guy, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who encourages you to achieve your dreams
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Who appreciates you for everything that you are
Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."

Ladies, if you are not with a man that is like this, please do not waste your time. They are out there and you deserve to be treated beautifully!

Happy Birthday Mar! I love you so much!!

With all my love,

Hennely

#12 Reconnect with yourself: Are you being True?

2009-09-08T18:53:00.000-07:00

After spending labor day weekend relaxing in what seemed like paradise with my boyfriend of one year, with no work, no cell phones, just me and him, I remembered the importance of leaving this busy world to reconnect.

Everyone needs a retreat, whether its to reconnect with loved ones, family, or just with yourself. Life (work, bills, appearance) always seems to get in the way. We pay more attention to all these other things that we think are more important and get so caught up in it. We need to ask ourselves: Who is the person that I really am? Am I putting on a front everyday or am I being real to myself and my thoughts? Do I live my life according to what other people think more than what I, and more importantly God, thinks? Don't sell yourself short. The personality you had when you were younger was there for a reason, don't go around altering it just to look good in front of others.

My boyfriend @G_NIUS is blowing up in the entertainment/music industry as Co-Founder of The Dream Big Hustle Hard Firm, best known for their industry events such as Beats on the Beach and The Dream Big Artist Showcase. They also founded DreamBigHustleHard.com and represent songwriters/producers Xplicit, The Fliptones, Red Spyda and Maria Zouroudis. He also recently resigned from Slip-N-Slide Records, where he was Director of Digital Development, New Media and Online Marketing, and it's so refreshing to see that he still remains true to who he is always. He doesn't put up a front, stays humble, and is always here with an open mind to help whoever needs it and comes his way, no matter how busy he is. That's why so many people respect him. I think that's how everyone needs to be. Don't let the money, fame, or status in life change who you are. God was the one who made it all happen, so make sure to always give him the thanks and appreciation, and just continue to work hard.

So take that time, get away from life for a second, and reconnect with yourself. Redefine who you are again, your values and morals, and don't lose sight of that from here on forward. Be true to yourself, always.

With all my love,

Hennely

#11- Dream Big, Hustle Hard

2009-09-01T13:26:00.000-07:00

There are people out there who are currently content where they are with no desire to change. There are others who have spent their lives trying to achieve a dream and are now glorifying in all their success. Then there are those of us who know we belong somewhere, doing something we’ve always dreamed of but we have trouble building that bridge and connecting the person we are at present with the vision we have for ourselves in the future. Let me lay down an example: A girl works as a secretary in a business firm deep down has always wanted to own her own fashion line. How does she make that jump? How does she get out of that “rat race” where she needs the 9 to 5 to pay the bills but then doesn’t have time to pursue what she wants?

For one, THERE IS ALWAYS TIME! If it’s something that you truly want to do, you wouldn’t mind staying up till 4:30am to work on it, even after you’ve clocked out of your other job. That’s what the successful people do. Even those who don’t need the 9 to 5 to pay bills are always working ‘round the clock to make things happen. What makes you think you’re any different? In Twitterville it’s called the GrindFlu, and it means that, while the rest of the world is sleeping, you are one of the few out there staying up to make things happen! Those are the people whose dreams come true.

“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired & discouraged men who kept on working”- RT on Twitter

Next, there are NO EXCUSES! Whether you are tired, don’t have enough money, may not have the latest and best equipment, nothing should hold you back! Work with what u have, don’t let anything stop you! If you work in a mall and can’t tweet because you don’t have a smart phone, go to the Apple store in the mall and tweet before work, after work and during your lunch break. Don’t have access to a computer at home? Go to the library! Its’ all about letting nothing stop you!

“There are no excuses when you're trying to get to the top”

Last, but definitely not least, realize that IN EVERYTHING, THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY! Lets say you work at that 9 to 5 that you think has nothing to do with what you want in the future. Don’t just look at it as a job, realize that behind it, there is gold. Lets take the girl who works as a secretary for example. If she really wanted to she could turn her mindset around and realize that what she is actually learning by being in that job is invaluable things like time management, organization, and scheduling, all things that, if done right, will put her way ahead of the competition when starting her own fashion line. It’s all in the mindset! Once you realize how your job will truly help you for the future, you’ll now do it with that much more conviction and excitement because you’ll see that it’s all just preparation for when you are ready to go on your path!

We all have a purpose here on this Earth. Lets go out there and make it happen!!

With all my love,

Hennely

#10- Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

2009-07-08T11:50:00.000-07:00

This video came out many many years ago, but all the great advice still holds true today. It's amazing how much times don't change. Yes, maybe outside factors do, like inventing a new robot or communicating through the internet, but humanity, and what is truly important in this world for us to survive and pass along to our children, hasn't changed in centuries. And I can guarantee you it will never change.

Enjoy the video!

#9- Why can't we reach our dreams? Or can we...

2009-07-08T10:04:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, you have to push yourself in life. Many of us can dream up of amazing things that we plan to do with our lives, what kind of house we want to live in, what kind of job would be so ideal, or what lifestyle we want, but then 40 years go by, and all of that is still stuff that’s only in our heads. You look back and wonder, “Where did all that time go? This was not where I saw myself, and I can never get this time back again.” What good is dreaming about things if we don’t push ourselves and make the first moves to accomplish it? Because if not, it’ll stay as that, just a dream.

You know how most people find it really hard to go to the gym, or to start that new diet and maintain it? The reason for this is because we don’t push ourselves hard enough. That’s the key word there: Enough. Sure, we give it a little try here and there, but it always falls short of reaching our goal. And then we give the excuse that “we tried”, when in fact, we never tried hard enough to reach that turning point. That’s where the magic happens and that’s the point we have to get to in order to really turn things around. If we did, we’d find ourselves really engaged in what we’re doing and really liking it! It becomes second nature to us and part of our new lifestyle. Just like it takes a lot of force to get a heavy ball rolling, that’s how much force and energy we need to instill in accomplishing the things we want. And, just like the unstoppable momentum of the ball after it’s been pushed hard enough, so to, do our dreams and desires gain momentum and speed. But none of this happens if we give up before we reach that point. Whether it’s a new way of eating, a company you want to start, or a career change you’ve always dreamed of, life is about pushing ourselves to new extremes and trying things we never thought possible. Challenge yourself every day. Dare to accomplish something great, and to be a better you with each and every day.

#8- The Secret to Staying Together

2009-03-23T19:31:00.000-07:00

A fellow Henster (people who follow my blogs) made a comment on my twitter saying that my blogs were good, but that they only talk about reasons why couples should stay apart. In order to change that, I did some research just now and came across another great article about staying together during the rough times. This is an excerpt from the book 101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married by Linda and Charlie Bloom. Read it to the end! And if you would like to buy their book, click on the link at the bottom of their page!

#7- What type of Love Relationship are you in?

2009-03-21T13:05:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!! Its been a very long time since I've written in here, and I will fill you in on ALL of my activities in my next blog, but today I wanted to share with you an article that I ran across that I found so interesting. It came to me because I noticed that all relationships are different and have their own way of doing things. For example, sometimes one person is more dominant than the other, or they can both be equal, so I wanted to know what type of relationship is the best one to be in. Is there a best type? Read this article to gain more insight. It was taken from statesville.com and was written by Bill Mitcham, a licensed marriage and family therapist and director of the Marriage Maintenance Center.

(Although the article says marriage, this applies to boyfriend/girlfriend relationships). Enjoy!

Virginia Satir, one of the great Master Marriage and Family Therapists, discovered six types of love relationships in her many years of working with couples. She gave all six of them names.

The first one she called "A Smothering Love Relationship." This is the couple who want to spend every second of their free time with each other. They can't tolerate being without each other. They are like a drug addict who can't go for very long without a fix. "Smothering Couples" call each other multiple times a day during work or talk constantly via e-mails. These couples cut off contact with friends they had before they married and live like they were stranded on an island and there are no other people on the island. Satir predicted these couples, sooner or later, get into trouble because they expect each other to meet all their social, emotional and psychological needs and this puts too much pressure on a marriage. The supportive friendships and extended family connections each spouse has can bring balance and stability to a marriage.

A second type of love-relationships is the "Pedestal Couple." This is the marriage where one partner worships and adores their spouse. Their marriage partner can do no wrong. "Pedestal Couples" tend to have a pattern where one is worshiped and the other is used. Sometimes the one who is worshiped detests being put on a pedestal and can be demeaning to their spouse, however this doesn't stop the sacrifices. The worshiper will do anything to try to please the object of his/her affection. Others who are put on a pedestal by their spouse enjoy the worship and learn to expect it or even demand it. Satir believes these marriages are headed for a ship wreck, because there is little mutual respect, a key ingredient in a successful marriage.

"Master/Slave Love Relationship" describes the third marital pattern. This couple is organized around a dominate/submissive pattern. The dominate one says, "I am in charge and I will make all the major decisions. You will do as I direct". One partner becomes the army sergeant and the other a private.

Often the slave partner is financially dependent on the master partner and believes they have to go along with the program to survive. Threats and physical violence are sometimes uses to get the other partner to submit to the will of the dominate one. Resentment, distancing and lack of genuine intimacy put this couple in danger of separation and divorce.

The fourth Satir pattern is the "Boarding House: Back to Back Love Relationship" This couple is the couple who are roommates. He goes his way and she goes her way. A typical day would be for both of them to arrive at home, fix a meal, and watch TV while they eat. Very few words are spoken, certainly no intimate expressions. He then goes to his computer or ballgame and she goes to her computer or out with a girlfriend. "Back to Back' couples have very little belly to belly activity since there is very little love flowing between them. The love that brought them together died of atrophy since there was so little togetherness, it didn't live very long. These couples can board together for a long time, but sooner or later one of them will say "Enough is enough, there is bound to be more to being married than this."

"A Martyr Love Relationship" describes the fifth type of couple. One member of the couple is the community saint. This is the marriage partner who gives to everyone except to their own spouse.

Persons married to ministers or rabbis are in danger of this pattern; however it is not always religions professionals. This could be the volunteer at church who gives endless hours to feed the homeless, signs up at school to chaperone the school dances, or attends every mission trip offered by the church or civic group. Meanwhile, the marital partner feels guilty for wanting time with the spouse and certainly couldn't get angry with one of God's angels. This marriage could be on an affair alert or a divorce alert.

The last marriage is labeled "A Balanced Love Relationship." This marriage is comprised of two persons who are whole and complete. They were happy individuals before they married. They married to share happiness and to expand their enthusiasm for living. They seek not to smother, dominate, worship, distance or rescue each other. They walk hand-in-hand and side-by-side and face each day and each year as best friends and staunchest allies. "The Balanced Couple" gives each other space to grow and savor their time together as gift.

So Hensters (what I'm now going to call my devoted followers and fans!), what do you guys think? Is there a correct way to have a great relationship?

I want to hear your thoughts!

With all my love,

Hennely

#6- Women, you matter!

2008-10-13T11:51:00.000-07:00

I came across these words of advice on a Facebook group (not sure of the original source), and these are things that I always tell my girl friends when I see they have trouble with men and dating. Women, don't let yourselves be treated like second class citizens. Many girls just settle being treated a certain way, but that needs to change, because you matter! Here are a few words of wisdom that you should carry with you throughout your life:

-If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.

-If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
-Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. Allow your intuition to save you from heartache.
-Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.

-If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you correctly, don't jump into being "friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. And by seeing him more you might only be more tempted to get back into that flawed relationship.
-Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
-Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
-The only person you can control in the relationship is you.
-Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
-Maintain boundaries in how a man treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
-Be proud of your own accomplishments and take pride in all that you do.
-You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
-Don't ever make him feel like he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him a quasi-God. You both value the same!
-Never let a man define who you are.
-A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
-All men are NOT dogs.
-You should not be the one doing all of the bending.... compromise is a two way street.
-You need time to heal between relationships... there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
-You should never look for someone to complete you... a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... look for someone complimentary... not supplementary. Remember that you are each whole people, with your own dreams and goals, you are not half a person!
-Dating is fun.... even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. And that's how you become more experienced on what type of guy you do like and what you don't. You see what's out there.
-Make him miss you sometimes... when a man always knows where you are, sees you every second of every day, and you're always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.
-Never co-sign for a man.
-Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Share this with other ladies... you'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare.
When you eliminate all the bad, the hurtful, and the disrespectful men out of your life, you allow room for a good and decent man to come in.

*Note to men: I am in no way trying to put down your gender. I have met many amazing men and know that there are lots of them out there. (These words of advice could easily be portrayed the other way around!) This is just to help girls, especially those that may settle easily, to be better prepared and to give themselves more value. Thanks for understanding :) I'll take care of you guys next :)

With all my love,
Hennely

#5- Growing individually, together

2008-10-07T23:48:00.001-07:00

Choosing the right man to be with is no easy task. There are so many things to look for: how he treats you, how he treats others*, how patient he is with you, his morals and values, how he approaches life, his intelligence, and how he values you as a person.
(*how he treats others (family and friends) is a big indicator of how he will treat you in the future. If he treats others in a non-caring way, is manipulative, uses them, or is maybe too pushy or even too quiet, but is nice to you, remember, that after a while, you will no longer be the exception and he will treat you just the same.)

About two years ago I thought I had found the right man. When I was with him I felt like I was in the clouds! He treated me like a queen, we never argued, and when I told him I didn’t know how to cook, he would make food for me. He was very ambitious and driven, exactly what I looked for in a man, and made sure he got ahead in his career. All of this was great, but I realized something, and although it took a while for this realization to occur, I'm glad it did. What was wrong with this knight in shining armor you ask? While he was away for several months, I was able to step back from all the clouds and confetti, took off my rose colored glasses, and took a more rational approach by looking at things from the outside in. We would talk for countless hours on the phone, always with lots of love, but most of the time it was about his career and what steps he could take to make it to the professional level. The thing that’s wrong with this picture is this: Where was I? I want to get ahead in life as well and I could go on for hours on the things that I want to accomplish, but most of the time was spent talking about him; it wasn’t balanced. And what's wrong with him cooking meals for me since I don't know how to cook? The problem is that I am not learning how to cook. I am not growing as a person! When our relationship is over, how would I have grown as person? I'm no better off than I was before. I don't know how to cook and I haven't developed and talked about my strategies for moving ahead in life and accomplishing my goals.

That's why I’m with the man I am with today. Not only does he treat me so wonderfully and is so sweet with me (better than my previous boyfriend and I never thought that would happen) but he makes me a better person. When it comes time to cook, he says, "Baby, let’s do this together that way we can learn together. I’ll teach you what I know and if I don't know something I'll look it up and we can both learn." In the time that I've been with him, I've already learned how to make many meals, and I love that! The man I’m with now is concerned with me growing as a person, whatever I want to accomplish in life, be it learning to cook or start my own company, he’ll help me get there. And he has all the patience in the world; he’ll cook the same meal over and over again with me until I’ve got the hang of it. And as far as my ideas and goals? Who do you think inspired me to start writing my own blog, to start coming up with my own business if that's really what I want to do, and who is constantly helping me get there by devoting his time, energy, and ideas to me. He is my biggest source of inspiration (started his own company when he was 20) and when I'm with him I feel alive and that anything is possible because we will work together to get there. And guess what. He says the exact same thing about me. He can't believe how much I motivate him, how I've made him grow into a better person. We not only motivate each other to achieve our goals, it’s not about pep talks guys, its about actually making it happen, taking the necessary steps each day to get there.

The man that is concerned about you growing as a person, who truly wants to work with you to realize your goals, and who will inspire you to make things happen and vice versa is the man you should be with. We both want to be CEO's of a company one day, maybe even our own, and I am confident that with the constant support we give each other and by working together everyday to realize that goal, we will get there.

So make sure to put this trait at the top of your boyfriend/girlfriend shopping list. It’s a lot more important than you think.

With all my love,
Hennely

#4- Finding similarities among differences

2008-10-02T23:44:00.000-07:00

For many people, there are certain things in life that define who they
are for years to come. For me, it was my worldwide travels. I saw many
cultures and learned a few languages, but what I really got out of it
was something much bigger than what I had imagined, something that
defines who I am today.

To this day, I've lived in 4 continents, gone to over 10 schools, and
visited over 20 countries; all this before I hit my 21st birthday. The
experience I got was second-to-none; I've been in deserts, I've
traveled through rainforest, and I've experienced countless cultures.
Nevertheless, there was a much bigger takeaway and here's what it was:

In our world today, we are so quick to find the differences in others:
he smells bad, she speaks funny, he can't pronounce words right, she
wears weird clothing. Sitting on the bus, subway, or anywhere in
public, we find ourselves uncomfortably examining other people. For
example, we notice their tattoos, their loud, colorful shoes, their
strange accents and their messy hair. Anything that the person has or
does that we would never do or wear, we frown upon. But have you ever
tried sitting on that bus, or anywhere in public and look instead for
the things that make you two similar?

A lot of us think that we have nothing in common with other cultures
or nationalities. Whether they are Hispanics, Arabs, or Asians, we
pull ourselves apart without ever really knowing who they truly are.
All it takes is just looking for the similarities among the
differences. You may notice that the lady who isn't pronouncing words
correctly has a 2-year-old son just like you, or that the girl dressed
in a way that you would never dress seems to like hot pink, just like
you. These may just be little things, but when you start looking for
similarities, you see the world in a different light; a more positive
one where everyone is united instead of being separated into
categories of outcasts.

We should appreciate the things that make us all different, but also
realize that we all have a lot more in common that we think. We are
all teenagers, mothers, girlfriends or sons just going through the
same types of struggles that one goes through at different phases of
our lives. We are all going through image issues when we're 14, trying
to live up to our parent's standards when we're going to college, and
making sure we have a way to feed our kids when we are mothers and
fathers. That's the huge lesson I learned from my all my years of
traveling and one that I will always take with me. Try it the next
time you are out. Trust me, it will make this world seem like a much
friendlier place. :)

With all my love,
Hennely

#3- Finding an apartment in New York.

2008-09-29T22:34:00.000-07:00

Now, before you tell yourself that you might as well skip this one because finding an apartment in New York has nothing to do with you, just take a few minutes to read to the end. I promise that there is a bigger meaning behind everything that I write!

I'm looking for an apartment in New York City because I will be moving there when I graduate in December. However, my search today is much different than it was earlier this year, and let me tell you why. When I first started apartment hunting I was looking for really nice apartments; you know, big ones with big bright windows, a 24 hour gym, and a lobby. Now, if you are familiar with New York City prices, you know that a tiny, hole-in-the-wall room (not an apartment, just a room) costs you no less than $800 a month (if you're lucky). This is why some people rent out their closet space! It's true! Seriously, it is. Anyway, I wasn't about to live in something like that; it had to be nice. The rooms I was looking at had price tags of over $1,300 easily. I didn't care that I would end up blowing off almost all of my work money on just rent, as long as I lived in a place that was trendy and luxurious. And that would still be my mentality today if I had not learned the difference between rich people and those who are truly wealthy.

Here's the difference: Rich people are those who are obsessed with making money and flaunting it. The mentality of these people is, "Woohoo, I have all this money! I have to dress the part now! I need to get the most expensive clothes, the latest cars, and the expensive mansion! I need to go out every night and pop open bottle after bottle of Patron, Grey Goose...the whole nine yards!" And yeah, they have a great time, but it's short lived. Then, they are caught having to dramatically decrease their spending after a sudden realization that they have depleted all of the money that they've worked so hard for. Or worse yet, they don't realize the situation they've driven themselves into and just keep living that lifestyle while putting everything on a credit card. Unfortunately, this is exactly how I used to think.

Now, here is the mentality of the truly wealthy people: these people live humbly. Their money stays for the duration of their lives because they know that for it to last they need to live HUMBLY in the beginning. They think above and beyond the rest of the population, look towards the distant future (not just instant gratification), and realize that taking a step down temporarily will be worth it in the end. Why rush to buy yourself a mansion (that you're only going to use 1/16th of) when it's only gonna give you hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay in just property taxes alone each year! That's an unnecessary waste of your money. Or why pay over $200,000 for a brand new car? Just because you can? That's ridiculous. And yet, this happens all the time to newbies with money and then they're left out in the cold. Now, I'm not saying you have to live in a hole-in-the-wall. You can definitely upgrade to nicer things but do so wisely and always ask yourself before every purchase, "Now, is this really necessary? Do I really need to blow off all of this money on a mansion right this second, or can it wait till I've made a plan of how to make my money last me for a while." Just go ask those who are truly wealthy to this day. They'll all tell you how they didn't start off with the $200,000 cars.

All this ties back to my apartment hunting story (See I promised it would all blend together in the end!). Technically, I could get the really nice fancy apartment if I wanted to, but then I'd have no money for anything else. I'd be maxing out credit card after credit card to buy the real necessities in life. Sending myself in a downward spiral, I'd eventually have to frantically find someone to take over my lease so that I can downgrade to something more suitable for an entry-level worker fresh out of college who is just starting her life in the "real" world. Because that's what I am. I'm no millionaire. Heck, I'm barely even a thousandaire! (i know what you're thinking! Just go along with me and pretend like its a word) So, instead of taking the, "Woohoo, I'm gonna make all this money with my new job," route, I'm gonna do it the wealthy people way. I'm gonna be smart about my money, know that I want it to last, and move into a decent apartment that's more suitable for me and my situation. And you know what? It's gonna pay off in the end because from here, after planning out my money carefully, I can only go up. In ten years from now, when I'm living in a nice house with my family and still have money to last me a lifetime, I'll look back and congratulate myself for thinking smart and having humble beginnings.

That's what the truly wealthy people are doing today.

With all my love,

Hennely

#2- Achieving what we want in life

2008-09-25T14:11:00.000-07:00

A pretty cool thing happened to me today in class. We had a guest speaker from an Ad agency come in, a really cool and creative guy, and towards the end of his lecture he showed us a picture of his ad agency's founder's jet. Then he asked, "Who here knows they will have a jet someday". Me and two other people raised our hands in a class of 80. Then he said, "Those who didn't raise their hands will never have a jet, because you don't even believe you will." If someone had asked me that question a year ago I would of said, "Yeah I would like one, but it's not like its ever gonna happen, that's just too crazy". Well, is it?

Right now we live in a world where anything is possible, where young students build up websites not even realizing the momentum they're about to create and become millionaires before they even hit their 25th birthday. Where all you have to do is see things in a creative way, and everyone will catch on. Anything is possible now. You need to start believing that you can have whatever it is that you want. It's not enough to just say, "It would be cool to have that one day", you need to really know that it's going to be yours. You need to already be thinking how it's going to look on the inside, what kind of colors you are going to use, how excited you are going to be the first time you see this jet rolling out of the hanger as a man comes up to you with the final papers and says "Its all yours". You need to see yourself sitting in one of those plushy leather recliners, having a drink, and talking to whoever it is that's on the jet with you as you two fly to an important business meeting or event. SEE YOURSELF THERE! KNOW that it is yours and go make it happen!

I know that most of you out there don't just want to be alive (a person with a pulse), you want to LIVE! The reason you want to make money is so that you can get the things you want, live the kind of lifestyle you've always dreamed of, or even use that money to give back to your parents or to your favorite charity. However, you shouldn't live to work, you should work to Live! Working should be a means to an end. So on that note make sure to get into a field that truly makes you happy! Because if you are going to be working for many years, you should be enjoying it and doing something you love.

So I leave you with three ideas on what I feel like you should really be thinking about to achieve what you want in life:

1. Find something that truly makes you happy and make that your profession. Trust me, you will be thanking me 10 years down the line when you are walking around with a positive attitude and great energy and your friends who chose to just go with a job that paid them a little more money, are miserable.

2. Believe that you can have/achieve whatever it is that you want in life, no matter how far fetched it seems. The people who truly believe they will have what they want are the ones who actually get it in the end. They don't let obstacles (money, time) drown their ideas. The find a way to work around them because they know that one day, what they are dreaming in their head each night will become reality.

3. If you can find a new and innovative way of doing something, don't hold back! Do it, because times are changing. Traditional jobs are a thing of the past. Now everyone will be required to be an entrepreneur. This doesn't necessarily mean starting your own company, you can also be an entrepreneur within the company you work for now. This means finding creative solutions to problems within your field of work, instead of just doing the routine day to day job. Think on your toes, think of what's in store for the future, or better yet, be the one who leads us to that future!

Anything is possible if you don't hold yourself back.

With all my love,

#1- Finally caught up with technology!

Hey everyone! This is officially my first blog and boy does it feel good to finally be caught up with technology! The thing is though, now that I'm here, technology has already advanced seven steps ahead of me. It moves faster than we can catch up to it, so for now I'm content with my new blog and this is where I'll set up shop :)

My name is Hennely and I'm an advertising student. I love life, dancing is my passion, and I believe in the power of a smile :) I have a great family (oldest of 5 sisters) and an amazing boyfriend! There are lots of topics that I would love to discuss with you guys, so make sure to check back to see my opinions, insights, and words of wisdom about different aspects in life such as love, family, careers, politics, relationships, music and entertainment. See you soon!

With all my love,
