Sunday...

recent events have given me a stern wake up call to reappraise my life goals and priorities...

in recent years, i have grown to become obsessed with success in every single tangible aspect of life.
I wanted to be the best in everything; academic results, overseas achievements, extracurricular activities, breadth and depth in business exposure, sports, girlfriend, etc...

I wanted to be the best of everything and have the best of everything...
In some of this aspects, I have achieved my objectives. In fact, in most of these aspects, in relative terms as compared to my college year, I have triumphed most people.

But it came as a compromise to my exercise regime, my keep-fit goals. I used to work out very regularly but not quite so in the last few years, especially in the last 2 years. 'Busy with work' was always my reason, or rather, excuse. It was the truth though. I seemed to have neverending work. And it was almost always because of my own preference. I preferred to be busy. I wanted to squeeze as many activities and plans into a second as possible. It was tiring sometimes.

Now, that happened probably because of the direct opposite kind of lifestyle i led in my teenage and pre-teenage years. I have been near both the ends of the spectrum.

It's time to balance everything again; to do things in the principle of moderation.

Health, family, career, friends.
They are all important. I will spread my focus and energy more evenly now.

Have a good week ahead!
