Today, i woke up as early as 6am. I went to work with a good mood. Greeted everyone with a smile, just creating a positive vibe around the office. Our shop was packed today with 7 customers as early as 930am. I thought, what a good day it is! Then I did some of my best thinking while preppin my coffee. Last year, at the same month and date today, I was in the States for a vacation which lasted for 6 months. I took a sideline job there as a baby sitter & i got to a point where living in the US is something i highly considered. At one point in my life I was thinking about my finances, my life, my age then my thoughts sent me a nice little reminder that Im not 21 anymore. Im not in my prime anymore. I said to myself. But as my thoughts turned back toward my age, and then to my life, my family & myself being single & free, I thought, Im dead wrong. I am in my prime! Sure, I cant run 2 miles nearly as fast as I used to. But Im only 31 and Ive still got a lot of youth left in me. Plus Ive gained some life experience over the years. Im a much better person today than I was 10 years ago. Ill gladly trade the life experience and mental toughness Ive gained for the youthful talent Ive lost. I never sleep alone at night. Ill gladly take having the company of my nephew over I once thought was having a partner. Then theres my cousins and friends. Never a dull moment when they are around. I have a job & i can do whatever i want and maximize everything including my income if i wanted to. Spoiling myself. Buying stuffs. Learning more. Reading more. Expanding my skills. Broading my capabilities. And those simple joys of having a 2 year old tuggin my arm askin me to play and I ALWAYS feel like complete when I think about how much it means to my nephew when I spend time with him. Its funny how much of a purpose one gets after all the struggles that had been. This is not to say I didnt believe I had a purpose before, but it is much more pronounced now. Its tangible now. This brings me back to this idea of being in my prime. We understand something that is prime is of greatest value, rank, or first rate. Id have to say thats how life in general is for me now. Im not trying to brag about how good I have it. I am just sharing some thoughts on what it means to be in ones prime. I feel really blessed. Goodnight. ❤️ #aicxthoughts #iamblessed #happylife
