As I turned eighteen years old yesterday, I realized how time flies. I realized how much I’ve done in the past year and how many things I’ve already done. The milestone events in my life have made me better, the person I am today, and part of the person I am becoming. I realized that milestones are only steps that get you closer to your goal and your purpose. These life-changing moments, whether a conversation, meeting a person, or even a fuk up, allow you to take something out of it and make yourself better. For instance, last year, on my birthday, I had a milestone event, and a true fuk up. I, on my birthday, had a bit too much to drink, and I simply was not loving myself. Wow! How crazy is it that my life gave a one-eighty turn? My birthday was one of my milestones or tipping points, and it made me realize that it was the moment to start living for myself, the moment to start making myself my best friend and getting to know myself. Because as much as we would love to say that we know ourselves, we don’t. It isn’t until we are faced with such dilemmas, such dramatic and drastic events, that make us realize that we have to either change our external or internal factors. Whether we have to change the group, we are surrounded by or change the person we are, or it can even be a domino effect, where we start to change as one and start realizing who we are and, as a result, we will be able to attract the people that will help us grow. Either way, we get to a point where we have that milestone event where we simply realize that we have to change. Nonetheless, I do have to say that it is difficult to face. We get so accustomed to the way we live and how things are that when things start to shift and change, we instead step away. We have to start taking the opportunities we are given, making more mistakes and learning from them, and growing as a person. It is the only way to go because if we believe that life will be served to us on a silver platter, we are wrong. We have to work for what we are passionate about, and we have to fight for what we love and what makes us happy. The outcome and results of a life filled with that way of thinking is a life worth living. You want to feel happy, excited and motivated for every next step that you take. So, I invite you to find your passion, make some mistakes along the way, and learn from every experience, because only like that will we be able to enjoy our life and have our milestones.
