Life is sometimes difficult enough as it is without having to live up to expectations. There are so many benchmarks to measure ourselves against - IQ, BMI, exam results, income... It's endless and I just can't believe all that. We all need to find our own space in this world, and at our own pace. We must fully own who we are at any point of time and realise the fact that there will always be room for improvement.
With the upcoming plans (as discussed), I have more than enough reasons and motivational factors to make me strive hard(er).
I am so thrilled! These - are all that matter now.
