They say that life begins at 40, and I strongly believe in this. When I hit this age there were a lot of things that came into my mind. I would have to reflect, look back and list down those that I have achieved at this point in my life. Am I happy and contented with where I am and with what I have? Now, I would have to figure out myself if there's a truth to the saying that people do not really have satisfaction.
I have finished college, worked in prestigious companies, got our own condo, bought our own car, tried several businesses, had my ups and downs, travelled a lot and still I am wanting for more. I guess after achieving your goals (or your childhood dreams) you would still want for more. Not because you are not contented or happy or not satisfied with what you have but because there are still a lot to conquer, a lot to learn, a lot to explore. You will not be doing them to be recognized and get praise from others but for self-fulfillment. For continuous learning and for self-improvement.
As I started my mid-life journey, I have listed down those that I would like to achieve in the next half of my life. Finish an MBA degree, get a bigger place for our family, a bigger car, a better career, an established business and a lot more. Also there are new endeavors, new things that I would like to try, and I am happy that I am able to start one right now. To have my own blog ... I know this will be the beginning of something big, a new chapter of my life will be opened because of this great opportunity. For sure I will be enjoying this as I've been wanting to do this a long time ago.
I also wish those who will follow me the same. Enjoy reading and exploring with me and thank you in advance...
