Just going through my Facebook feeds (#ThankGodforFB) and was instantly updated on how complete some of my friends' lives are. After years of searching for a purpose in life that could potentially complete that search, be it traveling the world, creating jobs, having found a life partner or just having a child - I am thrilled for them because I know that the future is not so much a mystery anymore.
During our teenage years we used to wonder what would life be like in the future. As we searched for ourselves the answers in the more successful role models, we did not all turn out to be what we wanted to be. I did not know then that the past ten years would in the end define the rest of my life.
Just ten years ago, did we even think that we will be where we are now?
The joy and love we could receive now and freely give?
How the definition of success is neither a measure of monetary values nor corporate achievements?
How today we stand as adults could in a way instil fear into the younger ones?
Not too far from now, I will turn 30. Would I have achieved everything I ever wanted before then, or is there never an ending quest for what I really want to do.
Not every 30-year-olds find their life's goals and can safely say to have achieved them. Or maybe, no one could ever say that they have truly achieved their mission in life?
