EPISODE 16 OF THE 20 NICE THINGS

GIVE MORE OF SELF

In 2017 i decided that i was going to stop trying to gratify myself and just be open to the needs of those who needed my help and were within my reach, it had to start within myself.  I always say in living our purpose is where we'll find our peace, how was this going to be possible if my family was not going to be a part of this journey? the people we love are the ones that hurt us the most because we often spend most of our lives trying to figure out their intentions and the basis of their actions, i heal very quickly when i'm disappointed by someone who is not family because i always save room for disappointment and i keep them at arms length.  But when in comes to my family, they have to go to same lengths i would for them, i expect us to be same, they have to treat me with the same sense of urgency.  If and when they fail to do so i find it very difficult for me to forgive them and at some point i felt it was only fair for me to let them deal with the results of their short comings, i turned into a stuck up, self righteous and bitter shell.  I took a chance at these imperfect beings that life has entrusted me with and carried their load without expecting anything in return.  In the last year it proved to be the best gift i would have gotten for myself.  I prayed, I loved and I gave my heart, my time and my laughter.  I embarked on the scariest journey i would embarked on.  Putting my fears, interests and thoughts out there is something would never dream about.   And now we are here, 20 nice things...let's see, mhhhhh I see a lot babies being born, I see new relationships blossoming and turning to bright, lively and colorful flowers, Lots of boundaries will be pushed and many toes will be stepped on, we are only wearing 8 inch heels this year, we are walking tall, we are bold and we achieving.  Most of all we are giving...

Giving is not decreasing the capacity of what you have, it is merely increasing the amount of possibilities of what you can get, blessings go to active vaults, give more and gain beyond what your understanding can ever comprehend. remember to laugh about it and at it...

2019 THE YEAR OF...THE GREAT, THE GREATER AND THE GREATEST

...A YEAR OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS, GRATIFICATION AND BECOMING

Last year was a great year for me because i saw myself being at peace with my spirituality, purpose, emotional and mental state of being.  I learnt that success is not necessarily about monetary gain or material possession, but it is about knowing what you want and how to get it and still keeping your integrity intact, i learned that being true to your destiny and being at peace with the fact one's achievement is measured individually can and will determine how quick you will achieve all that lies in wait for you to claim.  I cried, i prayed and i started.  And i want to proclaim that i am conquering.  Someone said 2019 meant 20 nice things and as it is the 14th day i am already sitting on 5 nice things that i least expected, now i know what it is meant by "if you want something bad enough the whole universe conspires around you to receive it".  I had put down proposals and i never pitched them to anyone and i have seen God pitching them on my behalf.  I promise to embrace all the good that #20nicethings has in store for me, i am less about questioning and a whole lot about enjoying and appreciating.  I have realized that some good things come in the simplest packages and often at times we overlook them.  I also promise to forget a little about polished gold and focus more on exploring and finding raw gold and leaning to bring its beauty into life.  I promise to give a lot of myself and my growing relationship with the Vaal Triangle.  In 2019 we will be interacting with a lot of ground breaking individuals who carry the same love and burden i have for my beloved home town...

It is a new year, a new era and a time for great things to be attained...knock on doors you never thought you would even look at and take the scariest paths, life can only get better.
