Happy new year guys. I’m sorry have been MIA for two weeks now, I’ll try my best to post consistently this year(I hope so). This year started well for me, so far its all been Joy all through and I hope it continues this way. How has it been for you? I hope you have been smashing & crushing those goals (would love to see your response in the comment session).

Let’s dive right into today’s topic. Have been a little hard on me for a couple of weeks now, I seem to have an interest in a lot of things which have made me dabble into a lot, and over some time I tend to lose interest. I’ve been to 4 different fashion schools, tried learning how to bake, tried programming, tried crocheting, tried learning e-commerce, FOREX Trading, graphics design e.t.c and I can’t even say I have a passion for one. At a point, I felt I wasn’t good enough and I never seem to get anything done I know this doesn’t happen to only me. I’ve come to realize that there’s absolutely nothing wrong to have multiple interests and want to try them out. Guess what, towards the end of last year I started developing an interest in another skill and I’m still going to try it out. It’s never too late to keep experimenting.
Sometimes we feel like we aren’t good enough in a certain field. What if that isn’t meant for you? Why settle for less when you have a choice to keep trying to find something that resonates with you. If you haven’t found that one thing that you would give your all too, that kind of completes you, that makes you to LIVE life, Keep trying. Keep searching, this year make a mental decision to try different things till you find where you belong. And if you are have found yours ensure to give it your all this year.
I’m not trying to support mediocrity in any way, because some people already know what they want but it’s just laziness and inconsistency that makes them jump from one career path to another. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
And always remember
YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE
YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH
Don’t let anybody tell you less.
Sending love and light your way

Special shout out to JK and Adnan, thank you for your advice and support. I appreciate (Indian accent, lol)
