Met up with a friend tonight, he showed me another perspective in life. He’s one friend whom we had knew each other for years but never sat down one on one to chat. Most of the time we are out in a big group. This is the first time we met up to chat.
For the past few years, I don’t like to chat up with friends. I felt it was a waste of my time to do that as I can get so many things done with those few hours of chatting.
I had this realization last month. Being able to chat with friends, having a group of friends to support me is part of life. Life is about experiencing different things, being who I am, being able to strike a balance.
In the past, I was too caught up in chasing after money, building my business; and I had missed out on many other things in life. Building a career is only a small part of life, there are many other things to life.
Currently, I’m still adding value to my clients, building my business, and at the same time, I am also investing time with my friends, slowing down my pace to understand myself more. Doing things that I usually don’t do in the past. I am enjoying every minute of my time now.
Many years back, his life was in a spin, but I am happy now that he is very sure of his direction, enjoying his freedom and being who he is.
I am so blessed that I have many great friends around me. I give thanks that I am aware of life right now. I am much more fortunate than many others who are chasing after things that do not give them true happiness.
Now I live to enjoy my life to the fullest.
