Buckingham Baron !!!

-
There are so many things I'm working on right now but one of the things I am proud of is making my university's basketball team. When I first got to Buckingham, I met a fresher like myself at the time who wanted to restart the school's basketball club. I encouraged him and told him if he does I would join. Now honestly at the time, I just thought he was talking for talking sakes, I didn't anticipate him actually starting the club. The club launched officially in January and here I am today. Played my first game as a Buckingham Baron, and it felt great plus we won which was icing on the cake.

 I know what starting something from the ground is like and for him to mentally endure obstacles for this vision inspires me. What's even more inspirational is that I actually encouraged him and supported him to this stage.I write this blog to say when someone comes to you with an idea don't brush it off, of course, it sounds impossible at first but don't brush it off. Encourage them and offer the support because you never know where that person will end up in the future.

 For the record, I did work my way to earning my spot on the team, being yelled at countless times, not feeling confident and learning how to play structured basketball has been hard. I thought I was done with stuff but here comes life telling me nope, still have a lot to learn young grasshopper. Since I am not the best on the court, I find myself working the hardest to keep up, it's funny, I never thought I would be in an area where I couldn't be considered one of the best but it's all a learning experience. Open minded attitude always!

 Be Safe, Be Bless, On Love.

Let It Flow Chale.....

Both of my mentors has been grilling me for my attitude lately and yes I am confessing that I was trying to force a lot of things to happen. I got worried, I allowed the fear of the future to get me completely out of my grove. I remember I would wake up hungry, ready to take on the challenges of the day and lately I've had mornings, where I didn't want to even face the reality of what my life was. Yes, somewhere I allowed society to contaminate my mind with thoughts of being an iconic success story one day. I wanted it all and I wanted it now and this is what was making my mentors uncomfortable about me. I lost the appreciation of the little things while focusing on the big picture and I cried when I realize how far I feel off from the person I was when I first started this journey. I am back into my "FLOW" mood, just allowing things to happen and what doesn't happen wasn't meant to be. I look back at last year around this time and the odds I was up agains...

Why am I still in my box?

A year ago my mentor sent me an email about me being inside of box- not showing the world who I am, what my talents are and the gift that God has given me. Eventually I learned how to come out of my box while living in the UK and I was able to impact a few lives while doing so.  Living inside the box was safe, no one knew me, no one expected anything of me, I could be free well at least that was the illusion I was selling to myself. In contrast, living outside of the box created a passion, it made me feel valuable, it showed me my purpose in this world and that was real freedom - knowing everyday that I can impact the world just by being who I was meant to be, created a feeling of "flying" in my soul. I actually love being outside of the box although I am more vulnerable there but I think venerability is the one thing that allows people to connect with you. It's the one thing that allows people to feel comfortable around you(i.e. like a form of humility) so don't ...

Making Progress On New Year's Resolution

How do I make progress this year ? 1. Tackling the biggest misconception about new year's resolutions(NYR) - It does not have to start at the beginning of the year. Most people begin the year believing that change must be made instantly. It does not work like that. Change just like anything in the world that is worth having, takes time. Change is like a seed, you plant it, water it and make sure it is getting exposure to sunlight. By doing those things, you have made an effort and the rest is up to the universe to decide whether you are ready for a new plant(change) in your life. The universe gives us what we are ready for and it always comes at the right time.  2. What if my NYR is finding Love ? - The seed you plant for love is a seed you plant inside of yourself. A seed of personal growth; you must become the person you want to fall in love with and that takes time. We hold on to our beliefs on how life should turn out and honestly life should not be shaped by such expec...
