End Of Another Decade!

I seriously can’t believe 2020 is here!!!!!!!!!

The beginning of another decade! It is so surreal.. I am so grateful to God for this going decade that came with lots of growth, blessings and lessons.

Looking back on 2019, these last couple of months made me realize I had no idea how great my year was.

So many things have happened this year. There were low times, high times, happy times and bad times. The privilege to be alive in good health and sound mind is something to be grateful to God for.

This year has been a year of great opportunities and I am thankful to have had a chance to work on great projects and collaborate with great companies and people, not to mention all the opportunities to try new incredible things and enough reasons to be thankful for the wonderful people around me.

I’m thankful to God for GRACE. For the love that cannot be explained (only surrendered to), for a creator that inspires creativity, for a purpose and a hope that there is more to the story than we see.

I want to share some lessons from 2019.

I don’t make resolutions anymore, but instead I just focus on becoming a better me all round and I must say I am excited for 2020 and all that it will bring!

• Patience

Patience is a virtue. This goes a long way. Whatever happens in life, I believe my time will definitely come. You need not to rush or jump at every slightest opportunity as the case maybe. You just have to chill and see what God has packaged for you.

• Never let people determine your happiness

Don’t ever let anyone steal your positive vibe or energy. You don’t have to live your life like it depends on someone. You need to make yourself happy and develop some self love attributes. You gotta live happy always.

• Trust God at all times

God knows more than you do and sees what you can’t see. You need to trust him at all times and trust the process his taking you through.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.

Psalm 62:8 (KJV)

• I found Purpose in my pain

You are not just going through these hard times in vain, there is purpose in your pain and one day you will see the testimony of Romans 8:28 fully blown in your life in Jesus name.

• Add value to people

Whoever and whatever I am today has been greatly impacted by the enormous value various people added to my life, the same way I’m adding to others.

• Be optimistic

There are times I astound myself, a part of me will say, “you know you can’t do that”, the other is like “go big or go home”. Optimism is basically expecting the best in all possible ways. So learn to be optimistic.

• Live intentionally

Earlier this year I adopted the minimalist lifestyle and live intentionally. I have an intentional scale. I rate myself daily, it does not kill my spontaneity but makes me more present in life.

Other lessons

• Leave unhealthy friendships and cherish great friendships at the same time.
• Learn to love and forgive others.
• Follow your dreams
• Enjoy every season of life
• Work on yourself

Let me stop here 😊
