When faced with different phases of my life, I would always create a life motto that described where I am and what I want to do. My Phrases for Phases outlines the Chapters of my life:
“Let’s focus on me…”, I told myself as I tip-toed out of the dark lonely closet.
“Let’s explore the world!” guided my adventures in Japan and Asia.
“Let’s be brilliant” is when got back home from Japan and decided I wanted to be somebody. I couldn’t believe that I scored straight A’s for the first time in my life.
“Work hard play hard” or as I joke, “work hard play harder” came right after “I need a job” also known as “”The Escape” from Chicago.
When I entered the young professional dating scene, I decided “love can wait”. Ironically, that lasted two weeks.
After moving to San Francisco, I told myself to “ride the wave“… both on and off the surf board.
I’ve been here for a whole year… I’ve rode the wave…. things are good… life is comfortable… maybe it’s time to:
“Keep smelling the flowers”
