The Journey of Self-Discovery

    I know! I know! I know! it's been weeks, months even since I last wrote something here but guys sitting up in bed at 5:34am this morning nursing the cut I got from a pedicure gone wrong on my left foot I'm happy that I have got just the right inspiration to tell you about what's happened in my life in the last couple of months.
  Remember when I said I was on a journey of self-discovery a few months ago? Turns out the journey came all too soon and it was way harder than I thought. Not to bore you with all the details lets stick to a quick summary...

     Knowing what you want in life and choosing a path for growth and success is mind-boggling mentally stressful and physically exerting. You are stuck with making decisions you never envisioned and adjusting to circumstances you had no business with. In a short time, you watch your life change and you find yourself in a place you would have never thought you will ever get to.
 For the first part of March, I was trying to understand the dynamics of self-discovery and I dabbled in a lot of things to see which my mind got stuck on. Then without warning, I had to avail myself to working towards a new position. This was where the physical exertion and mental stress came in. I was always on the move and I never stayed for too long because I had other commitments. In a way I took this as a test and I kept saying to myself  'If you get this over with you can do anything you ever put your mind to Helen' and guess what even though I am not a fan of pep talks I did wonderful in March and I got to play another role in my journey. Logically I felt like the first hurdle had been jumped. After a couple of weeks had passed in March I tried to develop a strong mental attitude to my new role and at first it was daunting but well it's me and yes I am good, so I learnt the ropes and got the hang of my new position in record time, Note to self and note to all you keep learning new things every day so you can never say you have everything figured out.
     In a weird way, I thought April came too fast well I still think it came too early and yes it did come with its own challenges. I mean I had just successfully if not with all of my strength crossed the hurdles of March and now there was yet another roadblock again. I got my second test. I was on the road way too much and sometimes it wore me out. One day I just laid on the floor and had a good cry because I was tired of how fast things were going. The world would not wait for you it will literally run and hope you catch up with it so catch up I did. I began to set my affairs in order and delegate some commitments to people I trust. In life, you will need a backbone and support system every once in a while. If you have got the right friends Rejoice! because you have conquered some. My friends looked out for me big and I will eternally be grateful that I have the best support system just anyone cannot afford. April came and went with its drama and all the testimony I have is I am still here surviving and living one day at a time, My job is the best anyone would love to have, I can plan my life like a responsible adult {you have no idea how long I have wanted to do that} and I am super impressed with how I have handled things even in the rough times. I won't say I have everything I want just yet or I don't stay up and worry about what will happen in the nearest future or I still don't have doubts about my journey but guys this is the fun part of the journey to discovering yourself so I don't think of it as the down part at all. I am grateful for the opportunity to eat well, live well, see the ones I love, talk to friends, brainstorm with my colleagues, have a better relationship with God, write more often, read books, work out when I can, do the things I love and do almost anything I set my heart to do.    Boy did I miss writing!!

        It was Iain Thomas that quipped " And everyday the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, "This is important! And this is important! And this is importabt! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!" And each day, it's up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, "No, this is what's important".

I'm back guys and I can't wait to share my life again with you
