For the past few days, this thought has been at the back of my mind... and last night, well it was 3am this morning...when I lay down in bed, I could not sleep ...wrote it down before I went to sleep...
The comparison of what I am today with what kinda person I wanted to be when I was a kid.
When you were a kid, did you ever create an image of yourself - the person you'd like to be when you grow up? I am not talking about your professional life, we all do that when we are kids...I am talking about the personal life. Have you ever thought of the values you'd hold close to your heart, the principles you'd live by, and the kind of person you'd be at the end of the day? If you did think about these things, what do you see now? Are you living up to that childhood image of yourself? Are you better or worse?
I used to think about this when I was a kid and I had this strong image of the person I'd be - a person of strong heart, living by my values and principles, seeing the world in black and white, changing the world one day at a time, living the kinda life that inspires people, adopting children, and stuff like that.
Now, when I look back, I find that I have achieved some of these, gone wayward in some others, and yet to try some others. Honestly, I don't think I would be a perfect fit anymore. For better or worse, I don't think I can ever be the person I thought I would be.
What about you?
