I'm Wearing A New Dress...

On Thursday, I  woke   up   feeling   new. I wanted   to   wear a new dress so I chose one that was a gift from a friend a few days before.  I  settled on a new  pair of sunglasses and shoes from the same person as well. Making sure I dolled up looking new.

Well, you can't  blame me. I woke up feeling like a new creation so l wanted everything  around  me to be evident of that newness. Then my day began. Each time   my phone beeped, it was a new message.
I asked myself  if all the new things  I had on depicted  that newness I craved for. Then it occurred   to   me   that, it was   all in the mind.

I was  turning  a really special  age  and  woke up thinking  that, with a new age presents new opportunities  and a clean slate to begin writing  another chapter  of   my   life. Now it is left to me to use my blank slate properly. It's a new beginning  for me. What can I do differently ?  Everything  is   possible  if I can cease   the opportunity   and make   use of yet another new beggining.

Is it your  birthday   today? Do you   have   the  opportunity   to   see a brand new day? Did you just move to a new city or job?  Then it's   a   new beginning   for you   as well. Now, cease  the  day and wear a new dress. Yes, you   can   wear  a  new dress. Not physically   but mentally   and   psychologically. The emphasis  here is not  on the  physical but rather   a renewal of the   mind. A transformation  from the   old to the new. Keeping in mind that, you still have a chance to begin afresh, or an opportunity to do something that you have never done before by stepping out of your comfort zone.  Cease the day and wear a new dress!

The Sun Is Shining!

This morning, I woke up thinking  the sun was shining.  Do you know that the sun doesn't shine every day? Do you know that sometimes the sun just goes away for no reason.

When the sun shines is when you grasp the opportunity to  do what you can whilst the sun is still up. Don't wait for the sun to go down before you remember what you could have done or achieved whilst the sun was still up.

Is there something   you have to do?
Is there a goal you need to achieve ?
I think the sun is still shining.
Why don't   you   wake up.....
Face your sunshine.
Yes you can!

Goodbye April...
Though challenging,
You were good to me☺
Probably the best I've spent so far...😊☺☺

Wake Up!

So I have held the same position for months though initially on taking up the offer, the plan was for me to still look around for a better option.

I got caught off guard with a transfer from one location to a far one . It isn't like it came with a rise too and it was going to really wear me out considering my current status: S-W.

So this came as a blow. I was definitely unprepared for it  but in my unprepared state, I learned a few lessons.

Never get comfortable to the point you forget your worth. Sometimes we get so comfortable with what we have, and let time pass us by completely forgetting what we are worth as individuals, wives, girlfriends, friends or employees. Have you ever gotten so comfortable you forgot your worth as a person because you were scared to face what was ahead? No, wake up!

Did you tell yourself after you landed that job offer you were going to upgrade yourself but got drowned in the pool of what you were earning and put off the upgrade? Yeah you got comfortable with your little earnings, wake up!

Did you ever feel like someone has been so mean to you, they challenged you to do something you could have done early on? Something you could have achieved or acquired only to wake up or be drawn back to the thing after people have rubbed it in your face or been mean to you? Wake up!

The earlier you stopped with the procrastination of your life's goals, the better way to avoid loads of discomfort, embarrassment, delay and the popular 'Had I known' phrase. Wake up!
Don't wait for a transfer that does not only discomfort you but leaves you with absolutely no room to take that big step.

It may be tough out there but waking up and facing the reality of the toughness ahead would be equal to realising your worth wherever you find yourself. Your worth can only be seen when you act it, earn it, get to that destination where it is seen and felt. Finally, by the message you send across and it definitely doesn't decrease if some people fail to see it. I mean, whether you like President John Mahama or not, he  is still the president of the day. You can't stop being a Ghanaian because he is president. Yes. Your worth!

Never you get too comfortable  and always be appreciative when the worst happens because beneath every dark cloud lies a lacey white cloud. It had to happen to wake you up.
