Road to 40s: Realization

Last year (December 2019) I said I’ll be 40 in 8 years. Now, that it’s June 2020, I realize that I’ll be in 7 years and 7 months. That fast!

Sometimes, we think that we have all the time. That we do not need to create plans for ourselves in the future. But come to think of it. Are you like me? Who did not carefully plan her life in her 20s?

But some friends say that it takes time for you to realize what you really want in life. Maybe, I’m just a late bloomer and we do have our own pacing.

I just move forward. Some regrets are there but I learned from it. Now is the time to make sure that there will be no more regrets.

I embarked in my 30s right. I think I’m still figuring out solutions to progress in what I do and now carefully planning things out without missing the fun in the process.

The process. It is priceless and invaluable. It is where we really learn. Fail a couple of times but get back on track. It is the only way to be capable. I’m not a genius so being exemplar takes time so I just need to be patient and productively manage time.

Lastly, it is really good to have a vision so you can create your own path. It might sound harsh but true we have NO TOTAL CONTROL over our lives. It can be taken away from us anytime. Vision is good but what really matters is what we do today. 🙂 Plan but never cage yourself in that plan. Dream but never get frustrated if you haven’t achieved it yet.

Just work hard and live. 🙂
