Self-Reflection.

I would say every year for my birthday once I passed 28, I would feel pretty bummed about my upcoming birthday. Most people dread the act of aging but for me, this hasn’t been the case.

For me, it has been the act of getting older and feeling so far behind in life. I am extremely hard on myself when it comes to my career and I don’t feel like that is necessarily a bad thing. I always feel like I should be doing more and that leaves me with a feeling of disappointment.

Yesterday, I turned 34 and this was the first year in a really long time that I woke up feeling strong and owning my life. I may have waited longer in my life to take action but I can’t change that. I am proud of what I am doing now. I am proud of my vision and what I know the future holds. I am proud of coming to grips with knowing life is not about ME, it’s about serving OTHERS. This gives me purpose and hope.

If you are ever feeling like me, lost and far behind in life. The answer is to start taking action now and don’t look back. Own it!

Thank you so much for all of my happy birthday wishes. I am so grateful to have such supportive family and friends that surround me every single day!
