So I turned 25 today...

Well yesterday now, nonetheless, a few things I noticed in reflection

1. The future doesn’t seem so desperate and haphazard anymore. Not that there is no efficiency and swift motion towards achieving my goals, the difference is just a realisation that one must enjoy the present moment, because as new age as this might sound, all we have is now. At 21, I unrealistically set a “goal” to be a millionaire at the age of 27. But learning over the years has taught me that achievement is much more than gross, unplanned, somewhat unnecessary financial acquisition.

2. I got 10 times as many birthday wishes as last year. Yes, Facebook.

3. What is you do is more important than how you do it.

4. You must know your fears before you can overcome them.

5. Failure is only when you stop trying.

6. There is nothing new understand the sun. Why reinvent the wheel?

7. Intrapersonal intelligence is more important than interpersonal intelligence

8. I am an introvert.

9. Excitement is a more adequate term as opposed to happiness. So the question is ‘What is your happiness?’. The first rule in life: protect your excitement.

10. I need God in my life.

11. There is no universal answer to what we individually seek. This is for 2 main reasons. We all seek different things and our mental mechanism is 100% unique so how can one size fit all?

With my current goals, I am very excited about this similar reflection next year. Happy Birthday Dini!
