Eva,
My life as you already know has been a blessing. I believe that I am in a better state than most of the people at my age. There might be some areas where I feel, I might not be in a good state, especially my mental wellbeing and emotional maturity. Ignoring those aspects, if you ask me, I believe my education, my passion, my job and my current financial situation are in a better situation than most people. The problem with that is when you get everything you need right by your side, you always ignore the value it carry and does not become grateful for those blessings. You often tend to be less thankful.
Whenever I look back, I feel very happy that I am a lot luckier in most aspects of my life. My parents were not from a very good financial state, but step by step and in a slow pace, I feel like we are in a better state right now. My father choosing to marry my mother has brought in a lot of godly blessings and I am forever grateful for those things in my life. I don’t know if I will even be able to take such decisions in life, I might not be strong and deep enough to accept those limitations and sacrifices in my life. Hopefully I will get better at it.
I have a small and lovely home where I am with my parents, a good job in a multi-national company that too very close to my home. The domain that I work, Artificial Intelligence is a cutting edge field right now and with the five years of experience that I have, I am getting a good monthly pay. I have a very beautiful and lovely team at my workplace and I enjoy each and every day at my work. Although, my career growth is progressing at a slow and dormant pace, I am less stressed and my workplace feels like a second home.
So if you ask me, most of the checkboxes of a twenty nine year old single boy child seems ticked, but I want to be better at it. I am turning thirty next month and thirty feels like I have completed half of my life’s journey. It is that part of my life where I feel I need to make some hard and critical decisions.
Starting today, I want to change some core aspects and habits of my life, try to cherish the little moments, be thankful and grateful for the blessings that I often ignore and take some hard decisions that will decide the next half of my life’s journey.
Almighty God, help me navigate this unclear and ambiguous part of my life, make wiser choices and decisions and get closer to you.
Thanks be to God!
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
(Philippians 4:6)
