Dear Readers
I thought i’d a “25 Life Lessons in 25 years”… most of us can relate, sometimes its good to stop and evaluate how far youv come and still go on.. you would realsie you give yourself little credit. Someone once said” life is what happens when we are busy making other plans” he must have been realy wise for it is true.. so here goes
1. you are enough
Yes you are enough, i had to tell that to myself everytime as a reminder, we may feel less but we need to tell ourselves we are actualy enough
2. Incase something goes wrong dont go always blaming yourself first
Why is it as humans when something goes wrong be it a relationship a friendship name it we always look for faults in ourselves? blaming and all, we tend to to this so wed find no fault in the other party but why do that to yourself . no its not always your fault but its also good to acknowledge when its you.
3. just because you go out often go wild often or do the donts doesnt mean you dont know what your doing
I have been a victim of this many a times, just because i go out ever now and then and can be very intouch with my wild side, most people assume you dont know what your doing with your life, you would be suprised how much i am in touch with my life i just need these wild sides to keep me goin so no dont judge me..and imnot about to judge myself either
4. start taking tea mamas advice was good
Okey everyone that knows me knows i dont like tea at all💆🏾♀️ matter of fact i dont like hot liquids all together maybe soup, so mom would always push me to having tea which by the way i think shes a teaholic (if theres such a term) but i have come to realise she is right like always ( i will explain soem other time) so here goes trying tea and making it a habit
5. always be thanful for how far youv come
its important to be thankful, a thnakful heart is twice a prayer.. every now and then its good to look at how far wev come and be greatful this alone helps us take fifty more steps ahead
6. everytime you want to complain look at the good thngs in your life
Me and my girls always have this conversation, sometimes we forget how far wev come we tend to complain more than acknowldege what we have.. its a reminder before you compalin look at where your at and where youv been. One of my new years resolution was to compalin less yes life will hit me and throw a couple punches but it will be okey . So now when someone asks me how is school and the Masters programme i go uhh well ” Mungu anasaidia” this helps me not complain
7. Learn to love wholey and accept the rejections because both are coming for you
When you love and close the rest of you that is you cheating your self and even the people you claim to love, love is sweet im such a romantic i would tell you that but love is also super bitter ohh, the point here is if tou let yourself love wholey even its gone you know you gave it your best and It teaches you to accept rejections because in life there will be a couple of them both love and rejections be it at job interviews relationships and so so you will be ready
8. That gut feeling yes dont ignore it, your intuition knows the way follow up
Ohh im so sure i am not the only one that always has this feeling in your gut or tummy or wherever that is, expecialy when you know something isnt right but youl ignore it.. sometimes we know things we just choose not to see them that way.. your intuition is your strongest weapon and strength builder always
9. love the peopl in your life that love and support you, love them like they are rare magic unions forexample, because they are
This is smthn very important i have acknowledged, sometimes we think just because these people have been there for the most part of our lives then they know how we value them NO this isnt always so..it doesnt kill nor break you to actualy let them know.. love them and show them like they were rare magic say like unicorns or fairy god mothers because if you think about it thwy truly are magic
10. Open your heart and mind to new things change is good for you
I have come to terms with this yes what youv been doing all through has worked great sure but No what you learn new wouldnt take these experiences away it will make you better even, change is good embrace it
11. theres no one way to do something, if someone did it then that person wasnt you so do it
A number of times i have heard someone say i want to do a busness im thinking clothes but everyone does that and the list goes on and on, okey yes they have done it but they arent you, you can do it on your own way,style, terms name it. there is never one way to do things
12. keep talking to yourself like you do yes your not insane its okey
Number of times i have considered seeing a shrink because if i tell you how much i talk to myself you guys like good God.. but then i have realised its not a bad thing, i happy talk myself i curse myself out too sometimes ohh i guilt talk myself out all the time ohh the list goes on and on, but it isnt wrong so il keep doing it im a better listener to myself anyway hehe
13. something can be hard but when you start doing it you will be amazed
I am a living testimony on this i would tell you that, the number of times i procastinate just because i think something is hard for me to accomplish is madness, but i have realised that when i start doung it actualy it works out and am left thinking oh wow..
14. give props and thumbs up to the people you appreciate, it may mean nothing much to you but to them its everything
I couldnt agree more , its realy important to actualy just aprecaite someone for the things they do that actauly have you all amazed wowed and just proud to have them.. you may never think much of it at the moment but you would never know how much it means to them trust me
15. write more often and read novels even more oftenyour lucky you discovered what you love now do it
this is some realisation that i will always hold dear, the moment i knew i loved books thanks to the inspiration from my dad and sister, and the moment i realised i loved writing alot.. those two might be yet my best realisations ever… Now you look for what you love and start doing it..
16. it is okey to have fantacies, that doesnt mean your daft it means your mind has a way if its own and thats your power
i think i am so guilty of this , its like theres a whole other world out there.. if thoughts where heard outloud i swear.. but its okey to have these fantacies i have realised, it realy doesnt say im daft no quite the contrary it means even my mind has a mind of its own i mean how great is that! but thats your power
17. Set goals as high as ever the thought that you could think that high means your on your first step towards them
come to think of it there is nothing like an unrealistic goal, i mean you did think of it that means there is a chance you can fo it and a chance is all you need.. so set the bar high and go for it because you actualy can
18. Sometimes the world may feel like its crambling on you, no your not the only one that feels like that just buckle up and wait it out
There times i feel like okey so my worlds probably coming to a bitter end and this is it.. its horrible no lie.. but then a better day comes up and i forget even.. this has taught me alot. it might seem like the worlds done with you but then thats more of a test because the next day even turns out better
19. it is okey to wish for more than anyone can imagine YES it is okey
many a times i’v thought to myself , maybe what i want doesnt exist? maybe i wish for too much? is it that bad to hope for quite much.. no its not a bad thing at all.. loving yourself amd wishing great things for yourself is a reflection of what will come your way.. so yes its okey to wish for the imposible or set that bar high its quite okey
20. you have the best family ever and the best of friends always remind them how important they are to you
I have realised i for one has the best family ever we pray for eachother we are there always and we have eachother and this gives me so much joy, i have friends as dear as family we batt heads we survive the distance but after all is said and done we have one another and i am greatful for them.. always treasure this
21. Your addicted to your phone, you love good food and good music
I have accepted my defaults i am addicted to my phone you guys i went without it for a couple days this year because it was broken and man did i feel like i would loose it, iv been there too around my udnergrad times my phone had issues or so i felt like ohh boy im doomed so yes i have realised and accepted that, i also do accept i love good food anhh we all know a cant even start about this a wont finish.. and yes good music is just what the soul needs
22. you hate early mornings but then your working towards getting along with them early mornings
