Delaying Greatness

Why is not living our greatest lives is a betrayal to ourselves? Because we have so much potential in us that is waiting to be tapped. It lays there, dormant, and waiting. 

We are probably held up by adult commitments which may not necessarily still be relevant when our hairs are grey and our body feels old.

As such, let's just be great.

An Update After Many, Many Years

Dear B,

It has been quite a while since I've been gone. Without you, I have lost track of who I am - that great kid who had big dreams, giant dreams. Life has been harsh to him. I would like you to know that he had turned out not too bad, but probably still so far away from the dreams he had many, many years ago.

I would like to talk to you again, regularly. It has been a rather long detour and... what a waste of time! I was so lost.

However I wish to highlight that, I am probably much wiser now. I have also aged a little bit whether I like it or not.

Oh yeah, dear B. I have a son now. Let's just call him, AFJ. He is so smart! AFJ just turned 14 months last week. I love him so much. I will make that cute baby grow up to become a great man, one day. I will train him to be just that, following my footsteps. We will rise together in the world, AFJ.

I had learnt that thoughts are really things. My father became ill because he is so negative in his thoughts. He made me hate him and that is so frustrating. I still have resentment for him, and I hate myself for that. This circle of hate has to end. Social media is ruining it too. The girl I had a crush on is now married too and worst thing is, she's on my facebook list. She is the past. I have to let go of social media, except for business purposes. My so-called good friend also betrayed me, but that's for another story.

Let's be great, B. I have to be better than all of them, put together.
