To many living a full life means living to see 80 years old. To others it mean having all the material things the best house, the name brand cloths and shoes, the most diamonds and driving the best cars. To me living a full life means making a positive name for myself. Living out my life to the best of my potential. I may not be the next Michelle Obama or Oprah, but I will make a change in my community and in my family. That name for me is going to be the best parent, the best spouse, the best co-worker and even the best member of my church and community. These are some of the things that i plan to accomplish in order to live my life to the fullest. The other name that I want to one day have for myself is being a successful business women. The owner of a full service salon and spa and the women who opened an outreach center for young girls who needs a second chance because they believe that the world has given up on them and they might not even be eighteen yet. This is how I want to be remember when my life is over. I want people to know that I made a difference in the world and in my community.


Like in the Walden story, I think people read to much into to many things. We are so consumed in how many of things we have that we don't realize that all we need is one. If we can afford it we have to have two or more cars, a summer house, a winter house and our house, when in the end all we need is that one car to get us around and that one house to lay our heads down. So I do take into account what was said in the story that instead of having millions have only a half of dozen and keep them on a thumb nails. By being so concerned with the little things we might cut our lives down and not be able to live them to the fullest. To me living means to just live and not let the little things hinder you.

To make these things possible in my life I have to finish the college journey and not let things get in my way. Once this is over then I have to start paving my way into this future that I have dreamed about. I have to surround myself with positive people and people that believe in me and wants to see my visions come true. I then need to take the proper steps to getting my business up and running. Since I want an outreach center for girls I have to find out the how I can get this started so that it can be a success and have girls that I can help to make a change in their life. Now right now I am truly focused on getting my master's degree in business. While I am in school I will start putting together my portfolio for opening up my salon and spa. I want to start writing for grants and getting help from other small business owners so that my business will make it and beat that five year failure ratio.

Over the last couple of years I have lost my way and focus on what I want. I have let people in my life change my focus. I have been letting small things deter me from what I wanted out of life. I have made it my business this year to not let nothing get in my way of success and this will ultimately help me out with living my life to the fullest. With all the many changes I go through, I can say that I have learned from them and I keep pushing forward. I just have to use my strength and determination to move forward. I know that whatever happens is to help me grow and make me into the person that I want to be.

Like in the Walden story our life in us is like the water in the river. To me this means that we have the potential to live full lives. The water in the river may flood over time, and this is the life in us. We may get over flooded sometimes but this just mean that we are living a life that is full. End the end live the life that makes you happy and makes you feel like you have lives a full life with meaning.
