It's so strange to think that more than a decade ago I started my blog with the hopes of getting into journalism, and now here I am, living the life I once yearned for. See, I started my blog as a springboard and a way to document my love of fashion and writing, with that all spiralling and resulting in me studying media at college before doing a journalism degree at university.
My goal was always to be the editor of Vogue, and I even remember people laughing when I said so on my first day of uni, but one of my lecturers said "but someone has to do it" – and honestly, that stuck with me. He was right, somebody has to do every job in existence, so why not me, or you, or them? Everything is possible and within reach if you work hard and believe in it, and I work hard and have belief in myself, so why shouldn't things happen?
Okay, okay, I'm not the editor of Vogue, nor do I even have a byline in Vogue, but I have written for Conde Nast in the past. Plus, my job goals changed quite a bit after going to uni, and the dream of working for a glossy magazine faded and I realised that wasn't me, nor what I wanted to do in life. See, I found my happy place writing for tabloids – something I never thought I'd end up doing. But being a tabloid journalist in the realm of entertainment makes me happy. I love writing about the celebrities I have a genuine interest in, I love sourcing exclusives and writing features, and I love working hard.
After working hard for three years and really honing in on my skillset as a tabloid journalist who specialises in American entertainment news, I bagged the role of Assistant Entertainment Editor at a massive international news outlet. It's crazy to comprehend that I'm in such an important role at 26 years of age, but I've worked hard, remained kind and genuine, and I truly believe I deserve this. Not only all of this, but I also believe I manifested it.
Through the affirmations I write out in my diary, to the moon rituals I conduct underneath the full moon, and the vision boards I make every December that display everything I want to achieve, from exact salary to brands I want to buy from, I have manifested my current life and I couldn't be happier.
If you're keen to manifest your dream job, I believe you can do it... but do you?
Manifesting isn't a fast process. Manifesting something doesn't happen instantly, but I do believe that with perseverance, fierce determination and belief, you'll soon see your dream life forming in front of your very eyes.

I feel like this post came at the right moment.. Maybe it is the full moon that just passed, but I've felt a shift in motivation and urge to manifest my life a little stronger and make things happens, because as you and your teacher said, 'someone has to do it'. Self doubt tends to get the better of us most days, but it's important to get our heads into gear and work hard to reach our goals anyway, even if it feels a little unrealistic!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on where you are in your life currently! I hope it continues to bring you joy!
