This week was enlightening. It was illuminating and inspiring. While I am sure that more challenges will come, I hold on to the promise of what victory I have now. That promise says I can face anything else.
I started taking a course to polish my technical skills. Having a partner to do it with, and one who is bright and lovely, only makes the experience more interesting. There is something that @tengolotodo taught me which is, “the universe listens”.
Honestly, I do not want to be too detailed as that would take away the magic of what I am doing now, hence, I will just leave bits and pieces.
I fill a gratitude log daily. Something @jhymi introduced me to and I have to say that there is no better way to be more appreciative and aflame in the present moment than using the gratitude scale. There is always something to be grateful for. There is always a silver lining even when the world is burning.
I try my best to focus on the positives. It is so much easier and healthier. When I am not worrying about everything wrong in my life, I am actively pursuing something. Doing something and being relevant.
It is so easy to dwell on all that is wrong, but all it does is weigh you down. Therefore, in this post, I will highlight three things I am grateful for this week.
I am grateful for friendship. I am so blessed with the kind of people I have in my life. So blessed that they have my best interest at heart and they would drop everything just to be there for me. Honestly, this is not something I take for granted especially when I watch how vicious the world is. You definitely need someone in your corner and these people, they are in mine.
I am grateful for disagreements. Without them, there won’t be growth. To me anyway. You need to have conflict for development to take place. Only when there is conflict does a person grow. It could be internal or external but conflict is necessary. I have learned that conflict is vital to my success and as such, I no longer see it as the devil. Let it happen.
I am grateful for Life. Just being alive is a gift to me. I know I tend to forget that sometimes but it is a knowledge that forever remains with me. I am grateful for life and the fact that I am alive. It is a blessing.
Also, I am grateful for people who hate my guts. It must be painful watching me be myself. It must be painful seeing I refuse to conform and be the norm. It must be painful knowing that I choose to be different. It is alright though. However painful it might be that they decide to lash out, I am grateful because their actions only fuel my desire to not be like them. I am grateful to be me.
