Part of our journey in life is to evolve, to grow in ways we would have never guessed possible. Each of us wishes for a better life, for better circumstances and for happier endings. When we take steps to fulfill our dreams, we influence our surroundings, we meet people, and are influenced by the circumstances that we find ourselves in. We tackle each - small or big, in ways we knew how, at that point in time.
A big part of me has drastically changed over the past year. I am the same person but a different person altogether. The way I think and judge has dramatically changed, perhaps because I now hold more emotional range, I now know more intimate details about myself and I had come face to face with several heartbreaks. Overall, I think I've become a better person because I am now more relaxed in my ways, I worry less now, and my approach to problem-solving changed. I don't rush anymore. I recognize there's a problem but I am braver to wait now. Perhaps, I learned patience. Perhaps I learned that rushing doesn't bring the best results. Perhaps my mind just doesn't want to tackle more heartbreaks head on. But I have also mellowed down so much. Much to my half-disappointment. No more is that driven, fired up me that used to walk around feeling that she can conquer the world and that nothing can stop her from realizing what she set her mind to. Is it a good thing? Probably yes. Probably not.
But in all of these changes that I've been undergoing, I have learned to appreciate the pit stops. I have learned to breathe. I have learned to look around me and finally smile and say, 'wow the leaves are turning red' or 'geez, grasses are growing outside the fence' or 'i'm tired and i need to lie down and rest'. At the end of our journey here on earth, I figure, it is not how much money we earned that would matter, nor how popular we became, but it is that peaceful contentment that we have done our share to help make this world a better place and we have been grateful for the ride and for all the wonderful blessings that we have received.
I'm not giving up my goal to be on top, but I also don't crave for that much power anymore.
