The Most Important lesson 2021 Taught Me.

COURAGE WILL TAKE YOU PLACES COMFORT NEVER WILL. 2021 has undoubtedly been a year of courage for me. It’s been that one year in my life where I have dared to push myself even in the face of adversity. I started my year with a promise which was to honour myself and every dream or desire that came to my mind. One of the reasons why I did this is because I never believed in my ability to achieve some of my dreams. I was so quick to embrace the fear and count myself out before I even tried, talk about self-disqualification. I was sleeping on myself, and its only when I found the courage to try different things that I slowly woke up from my slumber.

I look back and see how everything I have achieved or failed to achieve in my career, relationships, spirituality, health etc required me to step out of my comfort zone. I had to let the fear, pride, entitlement, self-exaltation go. To say it’s been an easy year is an understatement, but I have graciously smiled through it all, fighting past each rejection, self-disqualification, pain etc. and I am sure a lot of you will relate in some way when you consider what you have been up against this year.  “LIFE JUST BE LIFEING”, but the only thing we can do is courageously push past whatever is against us and welcome the new seasons with boldness cause nothing good ever comes from cowering.

Through it all I can confidently say I made courageous moves, I taught myself things, connected with those that could teach me, opened myself up to love and simply surrendered to the idea of just learning and becoming.  One thing I can attest to though is that God will always show up for you with each courageous move.  What I loved about 2021 the most wasn’t about my failures or achievements rather the beautiful souls who helped me to achieve my goals.  I had the privilege of working with some of the most wonderful men and women who not only sowed their hearts and time into mine, but also reminded me that my dreams where worth fighting for as daunting as they were. I stepped out in faith, did it afraid and what I saw on the other side was a woman who was courageous, capable, strong, determined and empowered and I wouldn’t have met her had I not made the choice to silence the voices, fear and choose courage. Don’t sleep on yourself, your beautiful becoming awaits you!
