How To Stop Fighting Yourself

Today I overheard something interesting.

One of my coworkers came to my area to buy a honey bun from the little store that my employee association runs. The store was out of honeybuns and someone suggested he come back in an hour or so. “That’s ok,” he said. “I’m trying to lose weight. It’s just going to make me fatter.”

But at the same time, that intense motivation backfires on me. With strong ambition and wanting to do alot of things, comes scheduling problems that make it impractical to work on everything at once.

Sometimes I wonder if women like me can really have it all?

Or must we sacrifice success in order to have a family? Is it possible to do both simultaneously?
