Life challenges.

We are expected to have reached some milestones by certain ages – have a degree, build a career/ start a business, make money, get married, have children, etc. When we hit these milestones at the expected ages, we are called successful, when we hit them later than expected or not even at all, we are called late bloomers or never bloomers. It means they think we have the potential to achieve these things at the “right time” but we didn’t until later. I have spent most of my life trying so hard to meet these expectations but I have not been successful at all of them. I am now more accepting of the fact that my life is moving and flourishing at its own destined pace. Here are some short, straight and sweet lessons I have learned along the way! 1. There are many things in your life that you have absolutely no control over, do your best to work on the things that are within your control and let go of the things you had/have no control over. 2. It is hard to change what you have not accepted. Acceptance means you understand that your life is what it is at the moment and while you continue to work on changing things, you will not loathe yourself for things you have not achieved. 3. No matter how fervent you pray or how hard you work, some things will just not happen the way you want or when you want it. Things don’t always work out in our favor and there’s not always a sensible reason for it. 4. Life is not a one size fit all, it happens for us in different ways and at different times, and sometimes, it has absolutely nothing to do with how smart we are, how good we are or how hard we work. 5. We are all on different life journeys, and all that we are, all that we are yet to be and all that we will never be, are all part of the journey. 6. Not every unpleasant experience in life happens for a reason, but every one of your unpleasant experiences can be used for a purpose. No experience is wasted.
