Sitting and looking back at the decade gone by, I can not help but ask myself this, Is this where I had hoped to be after 10 years, 10 years ago?
Have I achieved all that I wanted to achieve, or anything at all?
If I could talk to my 10 years younger self, would that be a happy conversation?
Could I, possibly, explain what I am, where I am, and why? Do I believe in the why?
Think of all the decisions you made in the past 10 years which has brought you to this point. Hind sight is supposed to be 20/20. Is it?
Do you know, even now, what decisions you should have made? And how your life would be different if you had?
The college that you chose to go to? The course that you decided to take? Would you still have the same friends that you have now? How much would it matter if you did not? Would your “could have been” friends be much different from the friends that you have now?
Think of all the mistakes you made. What would be different had you tried a little harder? If you had studied a little harder for that exam? Worked a little harder on your writing/singing/dancing/speaking/painting? Are you ready to learn from those mistakes?
What if you had the guts to do the things you wanted? What if you had the guts to tell your parents what you wanted to be? What if they agreed and supported you? What if you had the guts to tell that girl/guy that you like them? Would you still be with them? Would you be happier if you did?
Is it too late to fix these?
Think of the things that you would tell your 10 years younger self, if you had a chance. The advice that you would give him/her. Mistakes that could and should have been avoided. Things that you have learned in these 10 years . Things that you would do differently.
How many of those advices still apply and would still be there when you do the same thing 10 years from now?
This article of urs left me flabbergasted. Totally baffled , if i will carry on the same way 10 yrs down the line 😛
cheers nishith
I ask myself this very often.. i think we all do ..
Damn you. I was just beginning to feel content about myself.
