Irene Ridjab - My Special Day 44 Years

Today is my special day as I am getting a year older (and hopefully wiser too =) ). There is nothing else I can say but thank to God for His blessings and love through my family, friends and people whom I have met.

When I looked back, I can see so much experience. I have gained in life either pleasant or unpleasant one. I can say through these experiences, it does shape me the way I am today. Yes life is filled with tests and trials but passing this through makes us more mature and well-developed. For me, being under pressure has forced my faith life to open and show its true colors.

Entering the age of 44 makes me question myself,
What have I done so far (for my health, family, spiritually, finance, career & social community)?
Have I reached my goal and become successful?
Is there something I can share or be a meaningful and impact to others?

I define the word ‘successful’ is not only having a balance of many areas of your life but also sharing with others. It isn’t easy though but now I have set my focus on healthy living and social community work.

For healthy living, I have made my decision and put a challenge to myself by setting a goal to achieve perfect & heathy body in 6 months (exercising more and healthy diet).

For community work, I would engage with local people from some villages to do artwork and encourage them to involve in small business, hopefully by the end they can support their family and relatives.

Last but not least, I would like to say thank you for my lovely family, my wonderful sister Lia, my cousin Dudi, my friend Adrian Luis and my trainer Farid who always support me to reach my goal.
