The Re-awakening

So, it has been quite some time since I have had a chance to have a moment of quiet reflection in this gift called life.

When I first started blogging, I used to find that there was more life in my blog posts than there was in my day to day living…I found that I had more time to reflect on my life because I was not fully and presently involved in it. I found that I was hiding behind my disappointment, regret and sadness and the shelter of my words. I found that I was taking happiness and life for granted.

This was all until I declared change and took control over my life. I think there was a hint of this change in my last post- “Flashback Moments”- when I wrote: “I have decided to embrace my life and the miraculous power of God’s way”.  And since doing so, my life has been a jar full of happiness.

I therefore apologize to my readers, not for taking time to be fully present in my life, but for not sharing such a rich and fulfilling time with you. I am hoping, though, that you will all forgive me as my silence has not been in vein. I have re-awoken the kindled spirit within me..it is now presently anointed in positivity and endless optimism. 

I have learnt, in this quiet time, a few things;

I have learnt that there truly is and will never be a place like home- Not only physically but also in my heart. Home has a funny way of reminding you of who you truly are, recharging you and giving you the strength to be who you seek…I have a few things to share about my holiday, but I've decided to keep that treat for my next post so please bear with me.

Secondly, I learnt that “If you eat what you have always eaten, you will weigh what you have always weighed”. This little saying has been a significant catalyst to bringing change into my life. It simply means that if I seek a different life…I should live differently. I should make conscious decisions to live a life that leads me to the life I seek. Therefore before making any sort of decision, I have to critically decide whether or not it serves the future me.

Lastly, I have learnt that I will often have to remind myself of my mother’s words - “You were born alone and you will probably die alone.”  Her words merely mean that in life the only person you require to do something together with you…is yourself. Do not let the fear of tackling a challenge alone, stop you from doing so. with her words in mind, I have learnt to enjoy my own company and meet amazing people.

These three basic lessons have led to big, spectacular change in my life.It is funny how ,when seeking change in our lives, we look for big great gestures when sometimes the biggest of change can come from the smallest of gestures and ideas. 

I am excited to share my opinions

and newly discovered adventures with you but until I do I suggest that you go home (wherever that may be), make a conscious decision on the life or things that you seek and work towards it even if you are working towards it alone…just remember you are not alone if you are beside your dreams.

Remind yourself of the things that you seek from life and re-awaken your desire to achieve them…live presently in everything that you do…live for you.
