I believe in the power of inspiration and having a vision is essential to leading a life that’s full of accomplishment and personal satisfaction, but I would never confuse ambition with fantasy. Here is the key difference: ambition relies on specifics, fantasy fuels fantasy. Here is an example of an ambition: Sara is 19 years old, she wants to be married, have 2 children, and freelance as a graphic designer by the age of 30. These are very specific, measurable, and attainable within her time frame. In other words, she has realistic ambitions. Here is an example of fantasy: I want to marry rich, have a family, live in a mansion, and make six figures after I graduate. These goals are extremely high, they are vague, they are not measurable, and most importantly, they are not set within a realistic time frame. In other words, it is an instant recipe for failure.
It is a common tragedy for ambition to be extinguished in the hot pursuit of unrealistic desires. Once failure has been experienced, the natural instinct is to stop setting goals, coast through life aimlessly, and lose faith in yourself, always relying on other people’s advice to move forward. You start to commit thinking errors like jumping to negative conclusions and you immediately convince yourself that you can’t improve your life or that fate is conspiring against you. Another major source of unhappiness is comparing. We constantly compare ourselves to other people: our looks, our careers, our income, our vehicles, etc. There is no point in comparing yourself to other people because nobody wins. Everyone has their own unique talents and everyone is an essential contributor to this mystery called life. You don’t have to slip on every pair of panties. Briefs or cheekies? Hiphuggers or boyshorts? Get comfortable with remaining true to yourself. Whatever you desire out of life, make sure that it’s based on what you want, and don’t let society and the media influence your sense of accomplishment.
Here is another inconvenient truth: It is a waste of money is to buy lingerie for the sake of “feeling sexy” and hiding from your disaffection. Your sex appeal should not depend on the virtues of cotton, satin, lace, silk, etc. If anything, your inner hotness sexes it up. If you’re buying lingerie to feel good, then you’re simply participating in a psychological arms race against your depression, and loads of unloved lingerie end up stockpiled, depreciated, deserted, and eventually donated or discarded. It’s a toxic waste! On the other hand, you could die from the over-consumption of edible underwear, but we won’t go there ;o)

Who’s watching you? Consider your Audience
Sunday, October 11th, 2009
You’re getting ready to go out and you’re deciding what to wear. You grab the first pair of panties you see. That’s your first mistake. You’ve made an executive decision without considering the facts. This topic will be the beginning of a series of articles that will examine the key influences that you should consider when choosing your lingerie. Beauty lies within, and that expression also applies to what you wear underneath your clothing. In the end, it’s not only about promoting yourself: it’s about taking the time to understand and make compromises with the people and places around you. I’m about to break the rules of fashion magazines with one simple sentence: It’s not about you. It’s about being considerate to those around you. By taking the time to be thoughtful, you will ultimately broaden your perspective, learn new things, expand your mind, and become a better person. Throughout this process, it may seem like I’m encouraging you to transform into someone new and different, but that’s not my intention. I believe that you’re exceptional, special, unique, and that your gifts belong exclusively to you. My goal is for you to believe in yourself and to help you see the wonderful person that already exists within you.
For now, let us begin the discussion of what you should think about when choosing your panties. First: consider your audience. Now, I’m not suggesting that you’re going to do a little strip tease wherever you go, but there’s always the possibility that someone may catch an accidental glimpse of your panties during your daily activities. One common occurrence is innocently bending over to pick up something. If you work in an office environment, it would not be in your best interests to wear a thong. If you’re looking to impress someone with your sense of professionalism, do you really think you’ll win over people with a thong? I have nothing against thongs, but they have their own special place and purpose in your wardrobe. Some people may find them offensive in your place of employment and they may think that you lack a basic sense of etiquette. Like it or not, an employer is not emptying their bank account for the purposes of expressing yourself. You’re getting paid to promote the company’s brand image, values, and mission statement.
When considering the best panties for your audience and overall environment, ask yourself one basic question: “What do I want to achieve from this experience?” Is it lust? Surprise? Envy? Respect? These are all powerful emotions and impressions that you can induce in another person. Rather than grabbing any pair of panties that you see, take time to reflect on your personal goals, and hopefully they will provide you with the lasting support that will be necessary for the pursuit of your life’s ambitions.
