Each dawn is filled with a transition of new secrets and opportunities.

Some people say that success and fortune do not grow on trees, but i have always believed that we have been blessed with the insight to become the co-creators of our dreams.

Today I am 55, blessed and privileged to taste the fruits of this day.

Time ( and its many seasons) has become a great friend over the year’s – enhancing my life with great and scary experiences, but also revealing the power behind clarity, the need to evolve, the ease to love , the will to adapt and the chance to share .

There is no time like the present moment and as I woke up this morning, I felt grateful to embrace another page of Lifes precious album .

Today , its  an honour to be alive for happiness is dressed in the purity of simple moments and the more we listen to our heart’s, the more we breathe with clarity.

At 55, there are valuable lessons which still remain close to my heart, feeding my spirit into a new room for growth.

And Today , on my Birthday, I would like to share these precious lessons with you which are still very close to my heart.

1.   ALWAYS BE YOURSELF AND AIM TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF

Believe it or not , today we live in a world where many people struggle to be themselves and discover their purpose in the process.

The truth is that we are all different and the profound beauty and importance of our differences are often underrated.

Everyone brings something different to the table and there is so much understanding when we accept and embrace our differences.

We also live in a world where many people follow other people’s dreams , lifestyles and aspirations to ‘ belong ” 

The presence of social media does not help in feeding the emotions of many people into a world of trends , lifestyles and ideals .

There is so much joy when we are able to look within, discover our purpose, act on our calling and be ourselves.

It also creates an ease of clarity and the ability to work towards our very best version.

It also gives us a deep understanding of point number 2 below 

2.  KNOW YOURELF AND NEVER BE IN DENAIL OF OYUR FLAWS, SHORTCOMINGS AND IMPERFECTIONS

The moment i went on a journey to discover who i really was, it opened new doors to new moments of clarity and widened my vision 

For very many of us this is a lifetime journey, but guess what ?

It is also a healthy one .

Knowing myself also came with something more profound.  It was important for me to know my shortcomings, flaws and imperfections, but more important never to in denial of my ugly sides .

I truly began to discover who i really was during the first COVID lockdown several years ago.

It was also one of the most fulfilling periods of my life ( Definitely a story for another day ).

There is something beautiful about not being in denial of our flaws and shortcomings. We are  able yo accept ourselves and also address what we truly need to work on .   

The truth is we are all far from perfect, and there is nothing as unhealthy as being in denial of our shortcomings.

Surprising, in the last ten years, I have discovered that many people who come across as flawless or close to perfection, in reality have several hidden skeletons in their cupboards .   I find this fascinating.

We live in a mysterious world , but we also live in a world where its such a beautiful thing to work on ourselves.

Always remember this , no one in life has the right to judge you .

Ask yourself why is it their place?

We are all Work in progress and blessed with different values, standards and mindsets 

Here are a few questions for you

1. How much do you know yourself?

2.  Are you fully aware of your shortcomings and imperfections ?

3. Do you like yourself in spite of your flaws ?

3. LIFE IS SHORT- ALL WE TRULY HAVE IS THE GIFT OF THE PRESENT MOMENT

Life is short, all we truly have is the gift of the present moment

So Follow your heart, Be you .  Work Smart, , Play hard , Do the things which make you happy and embrace the moment. 

You only live once .

Thanks to all my family and friends for all your birthday messages.

I love you all .

P.S.

I am also available for 121 online sessions on  Self Esteem and Finding your purpose.
