HAPPY BIRTHDAY

fikrioshin

Looking back at the past few years, there are a few things I want to highlight as a note to myself and to you.

First, prioritize yourself. We always hear 'love yourself,' but this year, let’s make it practical.

Give yourself the two things you need the most, Time and Energy.

Don't spend it all on others until you have nothing left for yourself.

 

Number 2, do what you love and love what you do.

Sometimes the only choice is a choice.

Mind your own business.

Focus on your own growth.

Don’t let people who aren't even 'swimming in the same ocean' as you tell you how to sail your ship.

They don't know your waves.

 

Number 3, remember that you are special.

You are not meant to be a carbon copy of someone else.

Most importantly, stop competing with other people!

We all have our own timelines. It’s not about who gets there first.

It’s about the right moment.

The only person you should try to beat is the person you were yesterday.

 

Number 4, be nice to yourself and others.

Life is hard enough, why make it harder for someone else? Okay?

Helping others find their way often helps you find yours.

 

I don’t say this every day, but thank you.

To my family, my friends, and all of you 'lovely people'.

Thank you for sticking by me through the ups and downs.

I’m just a normal guy with my own struggles, so your support means the world.

 

And to myself, Happy Birthday!

May this year bring all the good things I’ve been working for.

And if you are sharing a birthday with me this January 29th, which is today- Happy Birthday to you, too!

Let’s make it a good one.
