The last 2 years have been packed with challenges, like hold your breath kind of challenges, and very many nerve-wracking moments, and now that it all has resolved, it’s time to celebrate. I will share once it’s official.
Thank you for being willing to go and grow together! It’s rare to meet people who are willing to go through, walk through, and move forward, …even if there are sometimes varied outlooks. That happened more than once this year, and I can tell all parties had growth from it in a great way, and the world got richer thanks to that.
I consider myself happy for meeting you, my friends, who were holding space at the most challenging times. You’re my champions, magicians; you know who you are, and some maybe do not! It could’ve been that your kindness creativity and authenticity were all I needed to see in times…
I also have realised that you can find authenticity from the unlikeliest places and zero authenticity from the places that talk about it the loudest.
The more it’s surprising that while keeping the sanity, these rewards and acknowledgements came in just for the things I had the joy of creating, doing and being. That wasn’t the goal, that was very much unexpected. You know what I am talking about if you are in my Facebook, however, here I am writing for me and FB is for other people. These acknowledgements are just a confirmation that happy creates, joy creates, and our point of view creates our reality. So better have a good one.
I used to think everything was late; everything was late in my life. Now I know that what I asked for looked very different from what other people asked for, and most times there was no path walked before by my friends or parents or anyone I knew. I had to forge my own path in a lot of areas of my life. And I am happy I didn’t go with the crowd, as looking back, I am happy with what I chose and even happier with what else is possible or what else I can choose now!??? Perhaps something I didn’t think I’d choose in a million years?!
Not going along with everyone else’s choices.
Question: are you willing to be different or choose differently or create differently than anyone you know has chosen?
Many aren’t willing to choose different.
Many people aren’t willing to change, especially because it’s stepping into the unknown, but your life has never been lived before, so would anyone know how or where or what is for you?
If you’re unhappy, you probably have chosen for somebody else, for your mum or dad or for your friends, and you can’t get your mind wrapped around why it’s not working for you although it’s working for others (seemingly most of the time). It could also be that you’re making your past wrong. Lose all judgements about it, and make different choices today that lead to a different life.
Follow your little happies every day, every little thing that makes you happy; notice that, and then ask for more of those, and then appreciate these and ask, what is possible now?
No one has told us that we can create anything, so what if you’d consider it now? There’s more to you than meets the eye, always, always, always, acknowledge it, have fun with exploring.
Going and, a lot of times, not knowing, playful & cheeky, as always and forever.
So very grateful for you and for that day!
Now what?:)
