Yesterday, I received a letter. At first I thought “that’s strange, I almost never receive personal letters”. As I looked closer I noticed that the handwriting was very similar to my own!? I rushed, opened the letter and figured it out: It was a letter I’ve exactly one year ago at the last session of My Super-NPS, it was a letter dedicated to myself. I’ll try to summarize some of what I’ve written then bellow.

At that time I was standing at crossroads was undecided and needed to make some choices. “I’m so good in giving advice to others and as usually cannot make choices for myself. Should I run for MC? Should I find a traineeship? Should I leave AIESEC and start my life [...] I wish to stay and give another year to AIESEC, on the other hand thinking of what Oltea said to me, is this going to be a barrier in my development?”.

That was also a time to think about my dreams … “I want to do something valuable, something that really makes a difference [...] and based on what I like, to help developing people [...] Get out of your comfort zone, chase your dreams”.

I was also trying hard to make sure I’m gonna keep the people that mattered around me, to spend more time with them, be a real friend for once :) “I want to spend my time with the people dear to me [...] keep the people that matter close to me”.

Receiving this letter was mind-blowing for me. It really helps you redefine your priorities and lets reminds you of what’s really important to you, it brings back memories, makes you re-live some of those moments.
