Can we really have it all? This is a concept that has been on my mind for a number of years and with every new experience, every new opportunity I've learned that yes it's possible! First and foremost knowing exactly what it is that you want in your life is crucial, without that you are navigating without a destination. Secondly, it is so important to understand what it will take to make those goals a reality; I best describe this as the recipe to the final product. If you don't have the right ingredients your result may not be what you are expecting. Third, make a plan and stay focused.

I recently came across an article written by Vivian Giang titled Women Want Work-Life Balance More Than A Big Paycheck on businessinsider.com (http://www.businessinsider.com/women-want-work-life-balance-more-than-a-big-paycheck-2013-9)  which outlines the current definition of attaining success from a women's perspective. What I learned is that it's no longer focused on a high salary but instead work-life balance.

I was excited to review the findings of the study conducted by LinkedIn and Cross-Tab because it seems women are fully understanding what it is they want in their life and creating an environment to make those goals a reality. Life is short, we don't live to work but work to live and being able to create a balance between the two and live life to it's full potential is inspiring and exciting.

So remember not to be afraid to expect more out of your life; we are living in a time where we have the choice to design our lives.
