Embracing the ember months

One important thing I love doing is setting goals. I learnt many different ways to set and achieve my goals, and it's been helping my with my little growth over the years. I don't see myself as developed or successful which accounts for the reason why I don't really celebrate my small wins, or celebrate occasions. I tend to believe that unless I am financially free, there is no need to celebrate anything. However, lately, I've been asking myself.... At what point does a person becomes financially free? Does financial freedom only involves the ability to gain anything money can buy? I don't really think so.

This year has been a good and a bad year to me. The ups and downs are like a burning furnace that is shaping me for the inevitable future. The experience gotten from this year has really taught me a lot. Seems like the more experienced I get, the more silent I become and the colder my heart gets.

Not all my goals were achieved this year. I achieved my goals that had the highest priority. I got what I wanted. However, it's one thing to get what you want, but it is another to maintain control over what you got. Sometimes, it gets tough, however the tough terrain is what makes the journey interesting.

Though I have achieved a significant part of my goals, there are still a lot I want to do. I do get sleepless nights when I think of some things that I have not achieved yet. Welp, I can't rush it. Slow and steady, they say, wins the race.

We are already in September. I don't really have much expectations for the few months that is remaining. I think I will have to allow it go as it wants to go. All I think I will do for the remaining months, is to try to maintain and manage the goals I have already achieved. I will love to let them grow, and give me more than what I expected.

Thank you for reading.
