“Live out of your imagination, not your history.” - Stephen Covey

I guess when it’s one’s birthday one can indulge in writing more than one blog post on different topics…  Especially when one celebrates one’s 32^nd birthday with one’s cats!  Surprisingly, for the occasion I was stone cold sober, considering that I took a long, hard look in a full-length mirror at the cynical, bitter, lonely person I have allowed myself to become over the past almost 20 years!

So, maybe I should not only focus on my outside goals for this next personal year, but also take a good, hard look at who I want to become INSIDE.  Who am I really when no-one sees me and how can I become the kind of person that people find funny, interesting, attractive and want to be around?  Maybe that would be the answer, rather than looking at how I can earn more and weigh less… I don’t really know.

And yes, I should live out of my imagination a lot more, and not be bogged down by might-have-beens and could-have-beens and should-have-beens and would-have-beens-if-I-only…  After all, things will only become real once they have been dreamt about and worked toward.

So, coffee mug in hand, I salute the woman in the mirror, thank her for all the valuable lessons she taught me, and then turn around and start living my life!
