Working on this project has brought out so much out of me. This includes testing me on how far I am willing to go to make my dreams come true, my state of emotional intelligence, how much confidence I have in myself, my limits of creativity, problem solving skills and a whole lot more. Self-awareness is a very important aspect to have as an individual, because then, one gets the opportunity to demonstrate how self-aware they are and demonstrate problem solving skills in that department.
Writing this letter while listening to Joel Osteen talk about the power of the tongue made me realize that I am responsible of almost 90% of the things that happen to m
e. I attract them either through speech or through my thoughts. This is something my friends always talk to me about. They have been supporting me in my journey of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
It is very important to know oneself, understand your personality and then take it from there. It should be noted as well that we cannot achieve all we want at the same time. This often times leads to disappointment in oneself and a whole lot of mental instability for oneself.
The one thing I am grateful to have learnt from my mother is doing right by my-self and other people around me. She said to me once “if you’re struggling with making a choice, always ensure that whatever you decide on gives you a sense of gratification and fulfillment, peace of mind that helps you sleep at night because you did not step on anyone’s toes and mostly, it is something you acquired truthfully”. I must say that this brings joy to my heart because it helped me through so much, especially when applied to my own life.
I have learnt so much from the women in my life, all the life lessons I gained from them, I get the opportunity to pass them onto my sister, friends, and the readers of my magazine Motswedi Flair. Life is a journey, one that we must learn to cherish and enjoy. I look forward to the many titles to be published, new people who will be met along the way and the countless life lessons on my personal development and the many people who will contribute to my growth as an individual.
