Why I started writing
I got to the point in my life that I was feeling as though I needed to shift my life, I felt as though there was more to me than getting up and going to work. I went through a phase when I was in search of meaning and purpose and it felt as though the burden was so deep in my heart that I could not shift it. I prayed and meditated on the word of God and I believe when I started to write my thought down on paper I felt relieved and at ease with myself.
When I approached my midlife I realised it was time for radical change in my life and that it was time to do what I felt was right in my heart. I decided to start living my life as me and stop worrying about what others would think of me. I had to accept my strengths, weaknesses and imperfections and realise that they made me the person that I was today
Therefore change and revision of life had to be done. I started making big changes in the smallest measurable ways. I am slowly improving the efficiency of my housekeeping practices, slowly but radically changing my eating habits adopting healthier ones, writing more by aiming at less.
I am much more disciplined than I was before I started, I have set my goals and I intend to put my plan into motion as I approach the next phase of my life. I have a vision, drive and determination to work on this blog to the best of my ability. Most importantly I hope to have fun while doing it and may be reaching out to someone out there.
I had always written journals and had kept a lot of note books of experiences, seminars and conferences that I had attended. So writing is something that I have always enjoyed doing. But writing a blog was something that took a lot of courage, positive self-talk.
As you may have experienced that the older we get the richer we are in experience and the more challenges we face the tougher and more thick skinned we become. As a result our life becomes a story full of rich experiences and these experiences can encourage someone else on their life journey.
