Tricia having had herself broken in a lot of ways,
from people she probably thought were friends, family and hurdles of life, decided on a very daring day to find herself and face her fear amidst the
downfall life has brought to her, she made up her mind to give herself a break
and find her true self after a very longtime, you see sometimes all you need is
a break from the hurdles of life.
She was going to start a new life but couldn’t find
herself in the big picture created for her,
She had given up on every other thing but then
decided to find herself.
Permit me to say that the period of preparation
before something new kicks off in our lives is very essential.
Remember, when you know who you are, building that
person in you is simple, but because we’ve lost the identity of who we are, it
becomes a difficult task. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every
experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to
say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror, I can take the next thing that
comes along you must understand that every time you are broken a greater you
unfolds and the moment you fail to realize that, you lose the main reason why
that experience happened.
To find yourself, you need to take some time off,
travel, go on adventures, read books, meditate, try doing new stuffs, poke
yourself sometimes, give yourself time to heal from previous experiences, this
is your period of preparation before the next phase comes to you like a flash.
You need to study yourself, do weird things, do
stuffs you are never used to doing, monitor and take notes on how you react to
them. Life is hard enough why being mean to ourselves, give yourself a break
and help yourself grow.
To be yourself
in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest
accomplishment.
Until you start
feeling good about yourself, you’d remain at a spot. Have patience with all
things, but first of all with yourself, You can search through the universe for
someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than yourself trust me
you won’t see, because you need to feel it to be able to know how to express or
give it out, so You yourself as much as anybody in the universe deserve your
love and affection, pamper yourself.
Some people may
call it selfishness, but hey!! I can only give you what I have, if I have
hatred how do you expect to get love from me?
In other to find
and build yourself, you also need to leave your comfort zone, come out from
your shell.
Here’s a little
story, so this friend of mine usually will not take alcoholic drinks, “the taste
of alcohol feels somehow in my mouth she says”. On this faithful day she
decided to know how it feels to be high on alcohol, she tried it believe me it
wasn’t a good feeling she slept off afterward, you know what? Did she feel different
from normal yes, did she learn something yes, the fact she did it that once
doesn’t mean she’s going to keep up with it, that’s where discipline comes to
play, while finding yourself there’s need for you to discipline yourself and
your mind so people don’t do it for you.
Everything you
need to be a better person is within your reach, so go for it.
To close this
phase, you need to stand at the edge of your comfort zone, let negative people
go, stay happy, let your creative mind be put to work, pray, face your fear
with boldness like the lady above did and lastly, dare to be different... Remember building
yourself is a period of preparation you need to go through before something new
kicks off in your life, if you skip that phase, you will have a lots of pitfalls
when the real deal comes, so take your time.
