How do i say this without being boastful?
I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH WHERE I AM IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW!
I wish i could say this when i was in my teens and 20s. For 30 years of my life, i felt like i was never really ME.
Not sure how many of you are able to relate to this.
Back in those years, I always knew i wasn't meeting my full potential. I always knew i was meant to be happier, more assured and secured! But i wasnt feeling that way. My reason was because the people in my life then was just constantly making me feel lousy about myself. I was waiting for my friends/family/partner/colleagues to inflate my confidence and happiness. I had everything, but there's still this unappeasable emptiness within me.
And that's exactly what the problem was.
I was expecting my 'happy tank' to be filled up by external factors, by other things, other people.
Now that I'm older and (thank god) a little wiser, I've learnt that i get to choose how happy i want to be without external validation. It's always gonna be a work-in-progress, and sometimes 1 step forward and 2 steps back, but as long as I'm headed in that general direction, I'm happy with it!
It's also definitely not magic! It doesnt happen overnight! But it will eventually happen slowly, and then suddenly! Strange concept, this slowly and suddenly thing. But it really is like that!
