It does not have to be as grand as the sun setting or rising.
January 29:
The people from all walks of my life, I want to take this moment to say thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Even if we don’t talk anymore, I want you to know that everyone one of you influenced me someway, so thank you for pushing me to the better character I am today. Today though, marks an important date to me. Not only is it my birthday but today, one year ago, I made a promise to myself to do more of what makes me happy and ever since then, everything around me started to change… To focus strictly on my own happiness, it allowed me to try all these new things, go on so many adventures (I still can’t believe I managed to be apart of) and most importantly brought back my optimism in life. 2011 was an amazing year for me and when I look back to all the adventures and struggles I’ve been through and with all the people I crossed paves with, I just want to cry. One year ago if you were to tell me I was going to change this much and do all the things I did, I would laugh and question if you had the right Kevin Cuong Nguyen… I use to be uncomfortable with the unknown. I use to be shy meeting new faces. I use to be lost with my life. Now, I feel unstoppable, outgoing, and driven. I mean I’m not this amazing person going far in life, yet. In order to start my journey, I first had to focus on a better attitude about things so I dedicated 2011 to restoring my mind to a more happier state and along the way I was fortunate enough to discover what I really want to do with my life. Now, it’s a new year with new beginnings so now comes a new promise, to take control over my life >:)
I have slipped and caught myself going back and forth with tasks from small to big. Now I’m going to push my limits and work on having a better self-discipline. I have a plan. I have the passion. Now the last thing I need is to get my lazy ass up and doing stuff; going places. Yes 2012, I, WILL TAKE CONTROL OVER MY LIFE! I can do it and I will do it. Just you watch… :]
