Getting Personal

"You become what you assume you hound."

This was a quote I had, for a while, left hanging on my marketing blog. It is not a teenage cry over the meaning of life, but a more refined shout as to what to do with my life. The difference?

It has become a subject on how to best allocate my scarcest resource, time, and best grow my potential.

My issue is simple, I have never dreamt of a white dress, wait let me better rephrase that, I cannot picture myself married. There. I said it. Every time I think of something that truely makes me happy, I realize it is all about being productive. Not many people would say it... but here it goes, "I LOVE to work long hours, more than I enjoy going out".

My dreams? They do not revolve around kids, pearls or diamonds. Yes, I don't dream of a beautiful palace with a pool, even less of that tiara. Sorry girly girls, I love Disney movies, but I just cannot relate to them.

I dream of jobs. I realize it is weird, thank you. So far, here's what would really make me happy, besides my current entrepreneurship work, I dream of:
  • Working in digital marketing for the Lebanese Government ( we need it, and I so want to be involved! I have to say, I heart my country.)
  • Traveling around the world, participating in workshops, summits and seminars (Boy, do I enjoy it! Can I work on stage? God, please, pretty please)
At least I know I like to affect as many people as I can. Need I get my phD? 

I have to say, I love what I do... But it is good to dream, and I kind of want it all. The problem is, "all" for me kind of stands for work-related ambitions instead of spreading my time evenly between personal and professional.
