The perfect life

Day 287 / 366

If you could design the perfect life for yourself, what would it be like?

I used to think a lot about this when I was younger, but I realised today how I no longer do that. I had these things in my mind, stuff like retiring at 30, or working remotely while I travel the world. I remember how I wanted to have my own house with a roof and a backyard. There was so much stuff I used to daydream about. I guess as you grow old you start thinking more about practical day-to-day shit that you don’t get any time to daydream.

What sucks is that the life I imagined I would have a decade ago is not the life that I am living today. I wish I had written this all down so that I could read it and keep myself on track to achieve my goals. But as they say, the best time to start was yesterday, the next best time is today.

Going forward, I plan to be more proactive about my life. I want to have long-term and short-term goals. I want them written down so that I am reminded of them each day, and I want to make sure that every day I move closer to achieving them.

If I have learnt anything in life, it’s that if you work hard, the universe will surely reward you. It may not come immediately, and it might not be super clear either. But in hindsight, you will thank yourself for all the late nights and early mornings.
