In 2012, I set the biggest goal I have ever set for myself. I set a goal to be invited to compete at regionals as an individual competitor. I thought that upon achieving this goal I would feel completely fulfilled in life. I centered my whole life around chasing after this insane dream of one day receiving this life changing invite.
When I opened this invite yesterday, it gave me butterflies. It made my heart race. It made me feel proud, happy, excited, and speechless. It led to all these amazing feelings...BUT this one email isn't what changed my life.
What HAS changed my life, is everything I did to make sure that I would one day receive this email. It's all the hard times and struggles, all the PRs and wins, AND all the support I received from friends and family throughout the whole process.
The JOURNEY is what has changed my life. This email has left me feeling accomplished because when I look around at my life, I love where I am at, who I am surrounded by, and more importantly, who I have become. It's amazing what happens when you follow your dreams.
