My birthday, a year ago, I think I went out to dinner with my family, to the Tamarind Tree. I don’t think, I’m pretty sure of it now, but I did have to think about it. Not the ‘it seems like only yesterday’ feeling at all. So much has happened since then, so much has changed.
Me, my thoughts, my daily activities, my plans; whats happening for me and what isn’t. I look in the mirror and I know I am the same guy, but it seems like only on the outside. I have grown.
The knowledge I posses, the things I’m doing - not the story I had planned; but I am happy here. I love it. But again, not where I expected to be.
Life happens, opportunities arise, choices must be made – things move on. Funny thing is, I am still working for the same things, going after the same goals. I’d like to believe they have begun to materialize somewhat over this time. I think things are moving in that direction. What goals? My answer to the question of ‘What do I want to do?’; from this post. I can’t imagine where I’d be right now without it. Life likely would have swept me away, more so than it already has in this past year. Its good to keep a focus on what it is you want to do, life seems to throw more of what you want at you. Good things. Things that bring you closer to your goal and make the pieces start falling into place.
I have never been so focused on what it is I want in my entire life. I don’t expect everything to be handed to me, I don’t expect it to be easy, but I do expect a lot of change this year – just like last year. Things are going to happen this year that I could never anticipate at this time, and they are going to be just what I need to make it happen.
