New realizations

“It’s not what’s happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it’s your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you’re going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.”

- Anthony Robbins

After an emotional week of ups and downs, it’s nice to finally be able to wind down and have some “me” time. If there’s anything that I’ve learnt from the past week, it would be that I need to put more of an effort to keeping in sync with my friends and family. At the end of my life, I don’t want to super successful with a gajillion dollars in the bank, but with no one to celebrate my life with me. Now is the time to focus on my last year of school, securing myself a full time job somewhere for the next few years of my life, and putting more time towards sharing my life with the people I care most about. I regret not having to get to know my grandfather better while I had the opportunity; now all I can do is be there with him and support my family while we hope for the best.
