    Not just a year older, but a year better!

    I can’t believe I’ve turned 26! There are a lot of things I’ve learned over the past few years. Sometimes I wish I had known a lot of stuff back then that I know now – but I guess life is about constant learning that includes making mistakes and learning from them and sometimes we learn the hard way. You can’t develop confidence and self-assurance without dealing with conflict situations. They make you understand yourself better – your values, who you are, what you stand for and what you want to be like. In the past two years, I think I’ve got answers to a lot of my own questions.

    I’ve changed in a lot of ways I didn’t expect to. I pay more attention to my own instincts rather than depending on others to make decisions for me. There is just something about taking ownership of doing things for yourself and for others that seems to grow more important in me. Last year in particular has made me realize my passion and has motivated me to pursue in it. I hope I continue to stay motivated, evolved, to live my life with happiness, purpose and passion. I’ve created tons of beautiful memories in the past years and sometimes I can’t help but feel a little pang in my heart when I think about them. But right now, in this very moment – I feel blessed and thankful for both good and bad moments/ experiences that taught me what I needed to know and I am still learning.

    I could go on about what I learned in the past year, but this is just a post to plant a seed. Think about what you have gained over the years. I still have a far road ahead of me, but I am proud of my successes as well as my failures. They make me who I am!

    Thanks for reading Blog..

    Until Next Time…:)
