"Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together." - James Cash Penney
Through the years of my life, I have tried to be best at what I do. Not better than others, just as best as I can be. I don't have a competitive bone in me. I can not compete with anyone for anything. I guess it's because I have this belief that I can get anything I want if I work for it, and working for it does not have to mean going up against anyone who wanted that same thing.
You can imagine where this got me. I remember back in High School, I was selected to participate in track and field activities to represent my house(dormitory). Running or jumping alone, I was told that I did well. But when put against others, I was either slow, or I just stopped completely. When asked about it, I gave excuses.
But the truth was that all those that I had to run or jump against had been friends or just been friendly to me. I couldn't possibly justify competing against friends, and this held me back in different ways. But as I grew older, I realised that I had been cheating myself out of the things that make life worth living. I barely had fun experiences, or fond memories of life spent.
But this is not what life is about. Life is about being 'you', staying alive, doing fun things with people that will become memories, going for what you really want(and if your friends want it too, you all can have fun going for it).
I have done my best to change my life and go for what I want. And as I add one more year to this life I live, I am ready to do more - have fun, go for what I want, make friends, make memories, and generally keep growing into the best version of myself.
This is life, and I'm ready to be more alive!
Can't wait to see the 'me' I grow into. Be sure that I will share the experience with you!
Kisses...😘
