Birthday reflection (long over due)

Not too long ago I mentioned to my girlfriend about being emotional about my upcoming birthday, and she responded by saying that birthdays usually come with some sort of reflection or self evaluation. So within the past year, here are some of the things I have accomplished/gone through. I graduated from college, got my first job as a trainer, entered my first figure competition, went on my first vacation, and am striving to be the best i can be. Having reviewed these aspects, I guess I can say that i accomplished a decent amount of things. I have matured and grown into a different person and like where the road has led me. Twenty two was not a bad year overall. There are still many things that I want to continue to work towards throughout my life such as competing at a national level, owning my own business, finishing my degree, writing my own fitness column and traveling a ton. These are just a few of the things i want to accomplish within the next five years. sometimes I feel like I'm not patient enough and i want these things to happen quickly. I want to rush to get through life and do everything at once. What i realized is that taking one day at a time is just fine. So today was my twenty third birthday, i took the time i needed for myself and spent time with the people who are so very important in my life and enjoyed every minute of it. Happy birthday to me :)
