10 years! Where has the time gone. As we close out on this decade, I wanted to reflect. A lot has changed for me beyond the physical (lol). In 10 years, I’ve bloomed into myself. I am thankful for the woman I have become (disclaimer: I am still blooming). When I think about my life over the past decade, the journey has been interesting.
Looking at pictures from 10 years ago, I don’t even recognize myself. In 2009, I was afraid of entering the “real world”. I was a college senior in undergrad. Didn’t have a real job lined up. Didn’t know my purpose. Choose to be in a toxic relationship. I was a mess!
God knew my heart. In God knowing my heart, he slowly but surely started eliminating things and people from my life. The quarter life crisis was very real! I didn’t understand why everything was happening. I now realize everything happened for my greater good.
If I could tell the 2009 me about the 2019 me I would say…
- To find your true purpose you will go on a journey.
- Believe in yourself!
- The creative ideas you have, work on them and stay consistent.
- Stop allowing other people to control your life.
- Stop waiting to see a therapist.
- You are going to be a teacher, this was never a career goal of yours.
- When people show you who they are believe them, stop giving people second chances.
- It’s okay to be alone, you need to be alone to grow.
- The things that matter to you know will not matter in the future.
- The Saturn Return is a real thing.
- You will become more spiritual, just embrace it!
From my 10-year growth, I proud of myself. TBH…I’m just getting start with life. I think 10 year challenges only become bothersome when people realize they haven’t done much with their life. If that’s you, don’t be that person. Change what you don’t like. Don’t wait till 2020 to start making changes. Start today!
Until Next Time…
