Forgive the cliche title but its pretty hard to find an apt one.
The highly anticipated Bday speech..(claps and cheers...):
First and foremost, I really appreciate those who remember, even belated greetings. The gifts I received are things I never thought I will get for a long time, and the company has been wonderful. Thank you's are just not enough
Whats so fascinating about the gifts this year? Besides new soles which I really adore, and an online present, which I gotta learn how to interact with someday, I found myself liberated from the previous 20 years. I have always thought I lived a life good enough, such that I have nothing significant to complain about; which is pretty true. However, perpetual reflection hit me one day and said that I havent really lived. I havent used my fullest potential and possibilities.
Complacency and procrastination wrapped me in a luxurious cocoon such that breaking free was hardly considered. These years however, especially this year, have taught me much; That things arent as attainable as I think; That the pedestal I sometimes put myself on is no higher than a kitchen stool. And why have I arrived at this conclusion? Because I know that out there, challenges (and problems) are waiting. No longer should I stay within the securities of my ego and ivory tower. Stretching beyond myself should be the key of heart instead of my bed of roses. I really need to find a new benchmark for my tolerance of mediocrity. Time to show what I can truly accomplish what I claim rather than just whispering to myself that I can do it. The claims of "I know I can" has gotta show.
Looking at challenges in the face sounds difficult but I think Im staring at it now. My confidence and drive is all the more augmented and I need a break ie a break to let loose this latent potential.
Take it as pursuing problems or self-improvement, I just felt an inch of wisdom grow in me. Sounds serious for a bday speech... Maybe thats y I got stage fright then. Nonetheless I really wanna thank everyone who helped me blossom into a 21
