Can I have it all or is there a trade off somewhere?

Anyone who knows me, knows my insatiable desire to see every idea that is present in my head come to life.  I don't really believe in signs but I am a true Aries.  I have my hands in many different pots, stirring them all at appropriate times.  I am what many would call a renaissance woman.  I proudly wear the title.

Okay, here is the dilemma.  I have been grinding  hard for the past  ten years.  I am finally reaping the fruits of my labor.  I am at the place where I no longer have to prove myself like a new girl out of college, the track record speaks for itself.  Getting to the dilemma.  My personal life is non existent.  I work, work, and work like crazy.  I will tell you that I absolutely love to work.  I love to transition companies, write articles, interview people, brand people and businesses, etc, etc. Yet I am getting older and find myself questioning if I can really have it all.

A friend of mine told me that she believes that I can have it all, just not at the same time.  Really?  So at what point do I trade off one passion for another.  A very good friend of mine, who is a male, has this conversation with me all the time.  I ask him if he thinks that I am being greedy in wanting a career and a family.  More specifically a man that will understand my need to work and who encourages my drive.  He just shakes his head and tells me the same thing all the time, "No Diana, you just need to be patient and wait for him to show up."  Great.  I know. I know. Patience is a virtue.  To be continued...
