When you think about the past year, do you feel you’ve grown into a version of yourself that makes you happy? Why or why not?
After a year of wondering, I have been thinking about this question for the last two weeks. Losing my friend was so sudden that I still feel the shock and disbelief. It crossed my mind if she had developed into the person she was pleased to be. Did her children and family notice a positive change in her and perhaps wonder what was causing it?
But before others see the change, we need to view our evolution towards becoming a better version of ourselves. In the wake of her sudden passing, many of us hope she knew just how much she meant to us.
I have looked in the mirror each morning, and see if I notice a sparkle in my eyes and the glow of my skin, realizing today I am the best version of myself. If I’m feeling unwell, I make a conscious effort to find something positive to focus on, even if it’s something small.
If you’re not content with who you are now, use this opportunity to become the best version of yourself. As I write this blog, I’m reminded that I’m a work in progress, but I’m proud of who I am right now. Although there is always room for improvement, I hope that my family remembers me as the best version of myself, even in the face of tragedy.
