Riflessione 2011

…10.47am…13 hours and 13 minutes away from the end of another 365 days journey of 2011 and we get to embark on another 366 days journey into 2012…it’s definitely time to reflect on what I have done, gone through and grown from 2011 and figure out what needs to be worked on in 2012 and add more things on the list…..

2011 was a hectic year for me, family and life wise in general. It was a definite roller coaster ride with so many lessons along the way, flashing by so fast that if you are not paying attention to the important stuff, you’ll definitely end up missing out on a few….

The beginning of 2011 found me as a well inspired and motivated fresh graduate of international business management, had so many ideas and dreams to accomplish….I finally came home to a 3 months struggle with job hunt but with the support of family and friends I didn’t lose my mind from the frustration that comes with it…Finally was able to land one in April, as you can imagine how thrilled I was, my inspiration and motivation went through the roof, I was happy once again :)

Come midyear I had to go through one of those curve balls that life throws at you, I lost my father to Diabetes and Cancer. This was a rough time for me especially since it was only almost two years back I lost the light of my life, so this just opened up an already gradually healing wound. With God’s, Family and Friend’s love and support I was able to move on with life and continue with my healing.

Come the end of the year I was able to walk down my second sister down the aisle, a walk that looks simple on tv but in real life, it’s a longer walk through which I got to escort her to a brand new life that was waiting for her at the altar, I could tell both of us were a bit nervous, I because I was letting her go to embark on one of those important journey on her life as well as I was leaving her in the care of another person. As for her guess she was just having those last minute butterflies mixed with excitement :)…But getting to the alter I left it in god’s hands and I have faith in my new brother in law to take great care of her :)..And the wedding took place and it was Spectacular!!!!

And now am sitting on my bed, drinking my tea and reflecting on what I have done, learnt and grown from…. I have learnt that life is short, so we need to appreciate every moment we have, the people we have in our lives and live life to the fullest as you only get it once (for the non re-incarnation believers :). Secondly you can accomplish anything you want out there, don’t let anyone tell ya otherwise, I have gone to talks where people have shared their hard journey to their dreams and you can do it, don’t settle why should you while you can get what you want, you just need to work at it hard…Dreams can come true people!!

Finally you don’t have to change who you are to fit in, get what you want or get somewhere cause in the end of the day it’s you who will be stuck with you for life, be who you are. So you won’t be the cool one, probably get few friends, but most likely those friends you’ll have for a life time and the most important thing is you will be HAPPY!!!!

Okay enough of the deep stuff, I would just like to say thank you to my family, friends and loved ones for being you, real and for still being here stuck with me :P all this time, you are the roots that have grounded me throughout this journey of life and am blessed to have you.

Cheers everyone as we bid bon voyage 2011 and we welcome 2012, may we all have a great and prosperous 366days ahead of us :)
