I am...

I am Menay Lintnaar, I choose to be a despite of person, instead of a because of person. When you woke up today what was your choice?

Only recently it dawned on me that being a postivie person is a choice we make daily, sometimes even more than once in a day. We choose the way we look at things and we choose to look the other way when we don't like what we see. But just like looking at yourself in the mirror, looking at life is only half the job done, deciding how you look at is the more challenging and self moulding half.

I am responsible for my actions and lack thereof. Now everyday after I look at myself and I look at my life I take a step back and remind myself that although I don't live in isolation I am the one making things happen. I am responsible for my actions and reactions, and realising this I make my decisions.

I am the master of my decisions. Somestimes life does throw us some curve balls but how we decide to deal with it (or not deal with it) is our decision to make. Like a wise man once told me- you will be judged in life not by the good decisions you make but by the ones you wish you never made. How true that turned out to be.

I am Menay Lintnaar and I am a despite of person. I am not perfect but I am true to myself- after all the beauty of a diamond is in it's flaws...
