Mindset

Not every birthday is a huge milestone.

But this one is. Not just because of the age, but because it gave me a reason to look back and appreciate the journey to here and now.

I remember when I was turning 25 and I was shocked that I was still alive and hadn’t died, yet. I’ll just say the first 25 years of my life were filled with struggle, suffering, battles I didn’t cause, and events that most people don’t experience in a lifetime. But there I was. Still alive. At the time I figured I better start living with intention or life would keep handing me whatever anyone else wanted to dole out to me.
