Diary of Goddess: Life Lessons Learned

I started this blog in HS, when I was this materialistic, but saying I wasn't materialistic first to start a blog and thought my life was so fab since all I did was school, shop, & friends. Fast forward 4 years later, I became this college student that realized that college life wasn't like the movies and MY struggle began...Some 10 years from HS and here I am, living my dream of going to law school, bringing a whole new meaning to MY struggle…

This is my lucky number-8. It's all about acquiring, using and (i'm not so sure about sharing), sharing power. I like the sound of that.

"There're three ways of doing things around here," the Boss says. "My way, my way, and sometimes it's okay to do it my way." To paraphrase He-Man: You have the power! Yes, Number 8, like a Sears DieHard battery, you are all about power—acquiring it, using it, and sharing it. Well, maybe not sharing it, but definitely acquiring it. You are a natural leader, but since you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet, don't be surprised if your popularity fluctuates like a NASDAQ ticker. If things don't go your way, get ready, it's tantrum time. Your desire to control situations certainly bodes well for ascending the ranks at work, but ladders turn to chutes when you step on the wrong toes. It's your close friends who see through the hot air, and they're usually the only ones who will stand toe-to-toe with you and call you on it. It's good to be king, and with that declaration can come all the excesses of power. Tone it down a little, Bosses. Lower the volume, check your speed, share your time, and for Pete's sake, learn to compromise. Your biggest challenge, like those faced by fellow 8s, Al Capone, Barbara Walters, and Muhammad Ali, might be developing a sense of what your power can do for oth-ers.
