24!!

Exactly a week ago, I turned 24…I have just emptied the fridge of the last piece of cake! I was just musing to myself on my birthday that it  is pretty amazing that each complete day for the next year will constantly remind me of my age…   

We hear all too often that age is like good wine. It more often than not gets better as it gets older!! I really hope that others can attest to this in regards to moi...I decided to review my progress thus far and decide for myself how we are really doing….

You might be pleased to note that I am almost rid of my phobia of shaking hands! The corporate world and very persistent friends have a lot to do with the accelerated progress in that department. Still get a bit weary in a room full people and often opt for general salutations …

Losing a friend was previously a very big deal. Today I am more at ease and acknowledge that some will face the test of time and fail yet others will still survive and it is perfectly ok!Some friends are seasonal and when spring comes and goes, so will they and that is perfectly alright…

I may be regarded as competitive but with age I have learnt that failure sometimes is not necessarily a bad thing; failure is just feedback that I am doing something wrong and if I want different results then I need to change my tactics…

Life is temporary and we are all tenants here! I have learnt to live for me, to do the stuff I want to do and live the best way I know how because we never know when it is our time to go…death is final and we should never wait to tell others how we really feel about them when they have already departed…Life is what you make it to be, I have learnt to look at the glass as half full and not as half empty especially during those trying times.

The most important relations are with God, myself and that heart throb; and yes, in that order…

It is important to have a relationship with God, whatever you perceive HIM to be because sometime and most times HE really is the only one who makes sense in the ever complicated lives we all face. I have also learnt that I need to believe in something bigger than all of us…

Personal development is a continual journey that I must endeavor to pursue even if I get to epitome of my goals...

I must never settle with a man who does not meet my basic requirements and I am not obliged to offer him any explanation. That is a very liberating realization and I should never lose hope that the right one maybe does exists.

I have never been obsessed with my looks and have never really calculated the amount of calories I consume in a day…however, I now realize that perhaps I should take a keen interest in what I am eating, and if I am getting enough vitamins and sleep!

Turning 24 feels absolutely great, and I am geared up for yet an amazing year ahead!!Here’s to 24!!!
