goodbye noughties! Bring on the teens!



It has been 10 years since the turn of the millenium.

I was 20 years old (young).

Didn't know what the hell I was going to do with my life (still don't),

Didn't know what I was going to excel at (if anything),

Didn't know what I was going to be good at (that is worthwhile to the community anyway!),

And as I write this, I realise there is less than 12 days left of the 21st century's noughty decade!

And currently as a thirty year old, I don't think I will be doing too much in the 22nd century's noughty decade.

That thought provoked the following question:.

"Am I happy and content with my existence over the last ten years?" 

Will I look back in the years to come and say:

"I was proud of my time here from 2000-2009?"

The interesting thing is, whether I am proud of what happened or not, I can't go back and change it.

All I/we can do is learn from my/our experiences.

Having regret is the DUMBEST thing we can hold on to, because we can not go back and change what's happened (unless you know Michael J Fox).

Good things that happen or bad things that happen are all just experiences.

And experiences mean nothing unless you learn from them.

Live and learn baby!

Be safe over the holidays and kick arse in 2010!

Keep intensity high and excuses low
