Success in 2013

       When I started this blog it was to help me through a difficult time.  Almost like a diary of a struggling designer.  I was battling with the idea of leaving a decent paying job to take the plunge into starting my own line.  It was a scary thing, because I knew the months and years ahead would be very difficult.  But I also knew it was something that I needed to do if I ever wanted to be successfully happy.  And plus, I never want to live with regrets and constant wondering if I could have done something I truly enjoyed doing.  I didn't want to be the person that's always complaining that I hated my current situation, without ever giving any real effort doing what I loved.  So I took the chance and quit the job that was "killing" me slowly to pursue my career in fashion and creating THE GREY BUTTON.  I have to admit that it has been very hard, and a true test.  Do I really want this? Or do I want to live comfortably only only to be miserable?  What?  NO!!!!  I have sacrificed so much to date and I believe I am on the right track.  I would be lying to you if I said that I don't get discouraged often, but who doesn't?  Anything worth having is not easy to obtain.  Sometimes we get caught up in what we see on television.  Instant success....hearing someone say, "they became an overnight success!"  But I don't believe that at all. Maybe it's not for a great story to hear that someone worked 10 years before things finally started to work in their favor.  But that's the story I want to hear, I need to hear.  Because it gives me hope, that with my continued hard work, I too can be placed into the category of successful.  Live your dreams in 2013-  But be prepared to put in WORK!
