Turning 30, that makes you think. Not just about that I am getting older, that happens (nothing you can do about that one). Instead, it makes you think about where you have been so far and where you want to go from here. So far, I have accomplished a lot of things, and still have tons more that I want to do. I am not close to done, I am hitting the prime of my life, I intend to enjoy it.
I have been to college, graduated and actually learned some things.
I have been successful in a career, and actually won a few awards and went on some trips.
I have been not so successful in a career, although it was actually not all my fault.
I have been happily married to my beautiful wife for almost 2 years.
I have been blessed with a supportive family.
I have been given the chance to start again, and work my way back to the top.
I will become successful again, no choice otherwise.
I will become a leader, and a mentor to others.
I will become the husband that my wife wants and needs me to be.
I will become the provider for my family.
I will do all of these things, and more. After all, I am only 30 - not 40,50 or 60. It makes me think a lot more when my parents are closing in on 60, my dad is less than a year away and she is a year and a half still. Me in my 30's and my parents in their 60's ... that sounds strange! Instead of complaining or worrying about how things are or were, I must concentrate on how to make things become that I want to become. People respect you more in your 30's I think, just because you are there, more so than in your 20's because you are "still young" in your 20's. I would like to feel young, young at heart at least :) Here is to the final week and a half or so of my 20's, and to what is to become for my next decade of life and experiences - I will make the most of them - you only get one 30's :)
