Thank You

Have you ever seen yourself in the future? Have you ever had a vision of a person you could or perhaps you will be? Have you ever thought that everything you do now and all the decisions you make can shape your life in a significant way? I have.
Yesterday I had a vision. A vision of myself at the age of 35, which is 7 years from now. I was independent. I was successful. I was running a company. I looked good - I was fit, hair and make-up done and wearing smart clothes. I was happy. I entered my home and felt an atmosphere of a happy family.
Today in the morning I saw a memo with a very influential sentence. It was written  that every person changes every 7 years. Our body changes and so do our desires and needs, the way we see the world and our priorities. It's called a cycle of 7 years. Later I googled a bit and found:
"cycle 28-35 is one where the creative process of mind becomes most active. Researchers and inventors seem to make their greatest advances during these years. It is interesting to note that physical science finds evidence of the reason for this in the fact that the association centres of the brain come to their peak efficiency at about 35 years of age. (...) Here we take stock of ourselves and the emotional influences that have shaped our personality. We begin to determine what is us and what traits we have been pressured by family, peers or society to adopt."
Call it a coincidence, call me stupid and naive but no matter what other people say I do believe in that. I believed in what I saw yesterday. I believed that nothing is done without our faith and commitment. I believed that I can be a better person who creates and shapes her own happiness. I understood that a loving and caring husband, beautiful kids and warm home are not the only things that I want to be proud of. I realised that it takes a hard work, good will and big support to make my vision a reality. And I know that it would never happen without 2 people: my friend Hannah Wing who pushed me into this, "washed my brain" and helped me in making the first step, and my husband Filip Ogidel who always stands by my side, supports my decisions and will help me walk through this path. Thank You.
