REFLECTION: Lessons From January

It is the first day of the second month of January, and I must say, According to my journal, January was way better than 2020, and if you checked my reflection on 2020, you would have seen that last year was the best year of my entire life!! I applied a lot of things differently this year that later on I will discuss with you guys, but here are a few things that I learnt this month or things that I applied to my life this month that either had a positive or negative impact on how I function.

If you haven’t already, please go and reflect on how your month was. You’ll only know how much you have progressed if you take some time and think about it. You know? Maybe some new habits you took on etc. It doesn’t even need to be something the whole world knows about, I’m not even sharing that. Just get yourself to think about it and that way next month you’ll see how much things have changed.

• Putting myself out there opens endless windows of opportunities.
• I am way more capable than I think I am and that explains why the expectations of those I value are so high.

• I am way smarter than I think and I am able to surpass the expectations of those that matter and even those who don’t.
• My opportunities are endless and I took the ones for me with a smile. I am able to do more because I walked in faith and God then broadens my territory.
• Don’t take up everything presented to you. Say no. You cannot help everyone and that is okay. God will send someone to help them.
• Don’t feel responsible for the dreams of others. If they fall of, sometimes it is best you don’t even waste your time.
• Healing is not easy but it is worth it in the end.
• Regardless of what people say, their actions are louder.
• Not everyone will support you every day and that is okay. It is important that you support yourself every day. They are your dreams, your visions and your aspirations.

• Depression is not my portion.
• My past does not define me.
• I am only defined by what God says and not what man sees because man looks at the outward appearance and God looks at the heart.
• People will treat me like a shepherd but God sees royalty and I will only act as such.
• The neglect or mistreatment of others cannot define my worth.
