Don’t lose yourself in the process

If I’ve learnt anything about life, it’s you can’t let the actions of others affect you. Don’t let anyone affect your happiness, don’t let them steal your joy and don’t let them steal your peace. It can be easier said than done because it can hurt when you lose the people closest to you who you thought would be there for a lifetime. The ones you thought would never turn on you, turn on you. The ones you thought would never treat you unfairly, do exactly that.

 

People come and people go. The sooner you learn this the better. Sometimes I have to repeat this to myself. ‘’People come and people go, people come and people go, people come and go.’’ I have to remind myself this. Sometimes people are only in your life for a season then its time to move on. Even if that’s not what you want. You can’t control what others decide to do. You can only control yourself and how you decide to react and deal with it. And overtime I’ve noticed within myself; depending on the individual I can either be great at moving on or the absolute worst! But I’ve realised that regardless of the individual and regardless of how long you’ve known that person for, you have to react the same to each and every one of them. They want to leave? Open the door for them. Close it as they walk on out. Go through the emotions, be sad for a moment, express it to others and then you pick yourself and keep on moving. You may lose people on your journey to success but never ever lose focus on your goals and what you want to achieve. Don’t lose focus on the path God wants to take you and most importantly don’t lose yourself.

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 unde...

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 req...

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 bes...
