After closing in on the 8th month of the year, there are a few things that I’ve learnt that I wanted to share with you. I know that some of you really enjoy looking back on these lessons with me and so I’m going my best to record as many as I can throughout the month.

Please feel free to share with me the lessons that you have learnt. Something that I learnt is that you don’t have to experience everything on your own. The experience of others can teach you something without you having to go through it, and that is the same thing for life lessons.
- Don’t be a #Sha’Cant.
- Never give up on yourself.
- There are people in your corner, you just need to pay attention to those who are closer to you. Ignore the noise of those against you and pose as if they are.
- Be there for your friends. Be present. Don’t forget to work on the relationships that are there to water you in your dry seasons.
- Try new things, break records and celebrate the wins.
- Think of all the supporters you have or wil have. People need you to finish what you are called to do. DO NOT GIVE UP!
- Put yourself out there. I can’t say it enough.
- Schedule those crying and screaming moments. It’s okay, bad man can cry.
- It’s okay if you don’t meet the standards of others, compete at your own pace.
- Don’t overwork yourself. You’ll be able to produce and work more effectively if you take your time to focus on one thing at a time.
- What matters is that you get there, it’s not a race between you and “that girl” or “that guy”.
- You don’t need to be everybody’s cup of tea and that is okay. You can’t please everybody so let’s just not even try.
- Not everyone will understand what you go through, and that is okay.
- Only God knows you better than you. Don’t rely on others to know the best path for you. Deep down, you know what you want to accomplish. Make the necessary adjustments to get there.
- I don’t care what defensive personality you had to develop to survive, everybody deserves to have one person that they can send a voice message to and they can freely express themself with no judgments. Find your person. It’s okay.
- Be true to yourself, you know that some things are not for you and that is okay. Trends come and go.
- DO YOU. Like, the year is almost over and you haven’t done what you genuinely want to do. I know everybody is launching new things and they are having babies, getting engaged and you’re just there… but get to work. You’re doing this for you and your generation.
- Grief takes time. You’ll have stronger days and you’ll have days you don’t want to get out of bed, and that is okay. Just Just don’t give up.
- Unlearning traumatic response patterns is not easy, but thank God for those people who make you realise that some things you thought were normal, aren’t.
- Accept when someone treats you like someone who has value, because you have it. You have value.
- Brain dump. Thank me later.
- Get involved and “abolish your comfort zone” – S. Thomas
- Start practicing going to bed earlier or changing your routine to prepare for school.
- Work on your relationships that need mending.
- It’s okay. Take your time and read.
- It’s okay to not read self-care books ALL the time. It’s okay to leave an inspirational book on the shelf. Don’t forget your imagination. You’re still creative in there.
- Okay, you’ve done enough research, now go and get to work.
- Don’t be afraid of who you’re about to be, be afraid of the self you’ll be if you never ge
