Am i moving too fast or am i being left behind?

... when you look around and you see no familiar faces, you can't help but wonder, am I moving too fast? or maybe I am the one being left behind..

Im in my mid twenties.. and how the years fly by in an instant. I used to worry about time trials, race times, assignment due dates, cgpa, weight (ok i still worry about weight) etc.. how that seems like it was just yesterday but at the same time feels so long ago.

I am motivated to push through boundaries when I have specific goal in mind... when I was studying, goal was to graduate first class- get a decent job.. and then what? I never really thought it through, my goals were only set up to getting a decent paying job.

...and i suppose getting married etc is not something you can actually plan..

I don't like being conformed to society where people's thoughts and view of you affect your every move and decision.. and you are being put to the task of achieving what is expected of you. So to speak..

But sometimes, you reach a point of no return, and start to wonder, am I there yet? or am I way past? is there really a destination? Or is it the journey we should be concentrating on instead?

Perhaps the only way of finding out is to take one milestone at a time and reading sign boards along the way?

Im not a big risk taker, but im going to take that leap

... yes, the leap of faith.

24 years of my life was spent with very calculated moves. the what ifs.. the alternatives, possibilities and all risks and measures accounted for. In fact, where I am today, is due to very little risk taking.. and lots of pshyco analysing..

Anyway, point being that the matter at hand can only be dealt with a leap of faith.. there's no other way around it. So im putting my best foot forward, see you on the other side!
