In some 12 days time, I would have walked
this earth for a total of 31 years. Hmmmm, THAT SOUNDS LIKE QUITE SOME TIME.
*laughs*
When I was little, I used to think people in their 30s were really old. Now that I’m in my 30s, that perspective has changed. Standing where I am today, I still feel like a little kid, except I’m doing my best in playing the part of an adult, am trying to fit in with other grown-ups, and subsequently hiding the little kid within (as society expects me to do). Bla bla bla...

Bla bla bla...
Lately though, I feel like I’m
becoming more and more in touch with the little kid inside - no inhibitions,
innocent wonder and enjoying the moment - and am so loving it. Now am consciously and consistently working on being that "beautiful, Nigerian lady with a very fulfilling life".
Looking back at my life and standing here today as a (slightly wiser) 31-year-old girl, I’ve learnt a lot.
1. You will never be ready for what
you want to do. The trick is to just start it anyway, and to develop the
discipline to work at it consistently. Taking baby steps consistently in the
direction you want to go means that you will eventually get there. KEEP MOVING
IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR DREAM.
2. Don’t be afraid to dream. Dreams
create the vision that governs the story of our lives. Our dreams create our
future. DREAM BIG. Remember, Life is short. Live it in such a way that will
make you happy.
3. Fear comes from uncertainty of
the unknown. It happens to all of us. It is part of the natural mechanisms for
our survival. Its job is to keep us safe. You can never suppress fear, nor
ignore fear, nor cure fear. The trick is to fully embrace fear by simply acting
despite the feeling of fear. ACT INSPITE OF YOUR FEAR!!!
4. Money is a renewable resource. If
you lose some money, don’t sweat it. You can always make more. However, if you
spend valuable time stressing over money, or lost opportunity, you’ll never get
that time back. TIME IS MORE VALUABLE THAN MONEY.
5. Time is the most important
resource in the world. It is the only non-renewable resource in your life. CHOOSE
WISELY HOW YOU SPEND TIME, AND WITH WHOM YOU SPEND IT.
...Am excited!!! It's my birthday in a few days...THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS...
