Several days ago, I turned 32 and I feel like it’s time for another reflective post.
I have the tendency to think a lot; about my past, present and future. I think about my past mistakes, the choices I’ve made, and what I look forward to. I think about my dreams, goals, and purpose.
I think about why I do what I do, and why I am the way I am.
I think about how I can achieve what I want, faster.
I think about how I can make a lasting, positive impact.
I want to do so much.
It may sound crazy, but I want to be a legacy.
You may ask, how? By doing what?
I think, by using my words to impact others.
I want you to feel better, happier, more empowered after reading my blog posts and translations.
I want to share my experience and advice, and you to benefit from it. Knowing that I have the power to change someone’s behaviour makes me feel good.
I’ve come to realize that I need to live a life with meaning to be happy. For the first 23 years of my life, I basically followed exactly what my father had wanted me to do.
As a child, my only goal was to get good grades so I could get into university and then get a good, stable job.
I needed good grades. I was a “good” student, but at the same time, I wasn’t. I mean, I showed up to class and did all my homework. I tried to study and do well, but half the time I was daydreaming because it was so damn boring.
I tried to retain as much as I could, but I’m just not very academic. At least, it’s not easy for me. I have a slow brain, so it takes me a long time to understand something.
I had friends who could seamlessly get 90s without trying, while here I was, working hard and struggling to get an 80. So sad.
I knew school wasn’t really for me, but I still tried. In fact, I even got an award for perfect attendance. LOL, so lame. Who gives an award for that??? Continue reading “My mini autobiography”
