The Working Honey Bee

In many ways, we should reflect our lives in a similar fashion of a honey bee.
During the day the honey bee will go around and pollinate flowers.
It will then go back to the hive and make honey.
A honey bee's entire life is spent protecting and enhancing the wellbeing of not only the colony itself, but it will also protect the Queen Bee at any cost.
Think of the Queen Bee as a dream and or goal that you have set.
In order to achieve you're goal or dream your going to have to make some sacrifices in your own life.
You will have to work collectively with others to achieve your dream or goal.
Similarly to the honey bee, it takes a part of the flower and brings it back to the hive.
In turn the flower becomes pollinated.
Think of the flowers as a network of people you will meet in your life.
In order for that person to help you out in the future, you first must help them out in order to receive something in return.
Ultimately it's up to you to find something that is worth working towards and accomplishing in your own life.
It is only when you find what you want to work towards that you will be able to start contributing to wellbeing of your hive.

Any feedback or comments would be much appreciated! I would love to hear back from my readers!

Studying Abroad

Recently, I received a Chinese Fortune that said to never pass up a once-in-a-lifetime offer.
This fortune comes at a time were such an opportunity has presented itself.
It is my intention in the spring of 2016 to study abroad in London.
While in London, it is my hope to be able to study international business and gain a greater understanding for a multi-cultural environment.
As an American, I feel that I am not exposed to enough diversity in my day to day life.
Through the study abroad experience I hope to gain this knowledge and apply it to not only my own life but the lives of others as well.
