Let failure inspire you

So I am back with another blog. This is crazy to me because I went from not even thinking about blogging, to now publishing my third blog this month. But that’s the thing about God, you never really know what he’s got up his sleeve for you, you never know what he’s got planned for you or how he’s working in you. He will reveal things to you, show you things you’ve never seen, talents that you never knew you had, strength that you didn’t know you had and so much more. 


Writing blogs was not in my list of things I wanted to do in this year 2021. To be very honest it was far from it. 


However, I am so happy that I have started and I am so happy that my first blog has encouraged many to keep looking to God and finding their purpose in this life. (Please read 2021 the year of allowing God to work in my life). 


Furthermore, I’m so glad some of you have been able to relate to my university blog. (Please read the truth about second year of University). It makes me feel like I wasn’t alone. Sometimes you can feel like you’re the only one in a certain situation. I felt so alone in my situation, I felt embarrassed, I felt as though everyone else around me was doing so well and then there was me... feeling like I wasn’t getting anywhere. Feeling to drop out. 


Looking back now and seeing how far I’ve come, I realise that, there was no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed. 


There’s a quote: “Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s apart of the success.” 


Failure inspired me to keep going. I had a end goal and I knew it was a must I achieved it. Once I start something I have to finish it, even if I need to take a break and bounce back. Whatever it took for me to get this degree. I began to speak up and ask for help. I hated asking for help, I always had the mindset of doing things for myself. I guess it was a prideful thing. But I realised if I was gonna make it out I had to speak up, I had to ask the questions, I had to pick myself up, keep going, keep looking ahead, keep praying. Making sure I always put God first, as he will give you the strength to keep going and the strength to push yourself and trust me, you will succeed! 


So guys please don’t ever feel ashamed or embarrassed if you don’t succeed at something the first time. You failed? Try again. You failed again? Try again. No one on this earth is perfect. So never feel like you’re alone in your situation. You can speak to your close ones, a therapist, you can communicate with God, if you feel like no one around you will understand you or if you don’t feel comfortable enough. Praying is not just about asking for things, you can just communicate and talk to him about anything, build that relationship with him. 

Keep going, never look back. Take your breaks, relax, don’t be too hard on yourself. Don’t stress out. Everything always works out for the better even if it doesn’t look like that right now. Let failure motivate and inspire you to keep going.


Stay blessed x

Change

In life there is always going to be change whether we like it or not. Seasons change, your circle of friends change, your surroundings change, you even change. Your mindset elevates, you develop a better understanding of certain things that you couldn’t quite comprehend before.   Change is all apart of life. It is inevitable. Even though we don’t see it at the time, change helps us as individuals to develop into the person we are called to be. It pushes us closer to our purpose. Change is necessary for growth.  However, change doesn’t always feel good and can be looked at in a negative light. Sometimes we don’t like change, especially when we’re comfortable. Change removes that feeling of comfort, it removes that feeling of certainty and stability. Change is unknowing and can create feelings of anxiety and worrisome. Change is something that happens daily but can be very hard to cope with.  Though change can be an uncomfortable experience, it is essential. We may not understand why cer

Rejection is redirection

So we are almost 6 months into the year 2021! Crazy how times flies. To whoever is reading this. I hope this year so far has been nothing but a blessing to you. I know it’s been a hard start to the year concerning covid, however, now that everything has slowly eased, I hope you’re making the most out of it. I hope you’re enjoying yourself to the fullest and making every single day count. I hope you’re still working on the goals you set for yourself at the start of the year, and I hope you’re achieving them or will achieve them soon!   This year for me so far involves, having as much fun as possible whilst figuring out the best pathway for me. Since the beginning of the year I’ve had to make really important decisions for myself. I really did think I finally had it all planned out with deciding to go to Eastbourne, work and continue my studies (please read my first blog: “2021 the year of allowing God to work in my life”) but as we know life has a funny way of doing what it does best; “

Don't settle for average

  I talk to God almost every single day and one of my main prayer request of recent has been for God to reveal to me why I am here. What is my purpose? What is my calling? It’s good to have things going for you, opportunities coming your way, doors opening, but it means nothing if God is not behind it. It means nothing if it’s not in Gods will for you. It’s not fully clear what Gods will for each individual is but what we do know is that God has a plan for us all and he wants us to prosper. He won’t leave us to figure it out on our own, he will direct us. What I’ve realised is that when it comes to God revealing things to us he shows it one step at a time. Therefore, we just have to keep praying to him, seeking him and letting him lead the way for us. Taking the days as they come and thanking him for it. I don’t want my successes or my achievements to be worthless. I want God to be behind and for everything that I choose to do, that is why I pray. Not long after that prayer request
