Life Was Happening… ๐ญ
It has been a while since I sat down here to write.
My last post was in May, and when I looked at my blog today, I actually thought, “Seriously? Where did the last four months go?” ๐
Then I started thinking about everything that has happened in between.
And I realized something.
I wasn't away because I had nothing to write about.
I was away because I was busy living it.
The past few months have been packed with work, responsibilities, learning, travelling, creating, experimenting, planning, making mistakes, starting again and somehow finding little spaces in between to enjoy life too.
Some days I was wearing my corporate hat, dealing with numbers, people, reports, deadlines and responsibilities. Some days I was standing in front of people as a trainer, sharing what I know while learning something from them at the same time.
Then there were other days when I became a student again.
Learning something completely different. Trying things I had never done before. Getting excited when something worked and staring at it wondering what on earth went wrong when it didn't. ๐
And somewhere amongst all of this, I have also been quietly working on something very close to my heart.
That part of the story isn't quite ready to be told yet. ๐
Maybe soon...
For now, let's just say that these past few months have reminded me that life doesn't always announce a new chapter before it begins. Sometimes we only realize we are in one after we have already started living it.
There have also been plenty of moments when I stopped and asked myself,
“Where exactly am I going with all this?”
And honestly, I don't always have the answer.
I used to think we needed to know exactly where we were heading. Have the plan. Follow the timeline. Reach one goal and immediately start chasing the next.
But life doesn't always work according to our beautiful plans, does it?
Sometimes an unexpected opportunity comes along. Sometimes something doesn't work out. Sometimes an idea suddenly excites you and you decide to explore it. And sometimes you simply need to change direction.
I think I am learning to be okay with that.
When Growth Doesn't Look Like Growth ๐ฑ
The funny thing about growth is that we often expect to recognise it while it is happening.
Most of the time, we don't.
We are too busy dealing with today's deadline, tomorrow's plan and the next thing waiting for our attention.
We notice the tiredness before we notice the strength we have built.
We notice how much we still don't know before recognising how much we have already learned.
We look at how far we still have to go and forget to turn around and see how far we have actually come.
I am guilty of this too.
But looking back at these past few months, I can see that every experience has added something to me.
Every conversation taught me something.
Every challenge tested something.
Every mistake corrected something.
Every new experience opened another little window in my mind.
And every time I stepped into something unfamiliar, I became slightly more comfortable with not knowing everything.
Maybe that is growth too.
Not becoming someone who has all the answers, but becoming someone who isn't afraid to keep learning.
Somewhere In Between ❤️
So where am I now?
Not at the beginning.
Definitely not at the destination.
I'm somewhere in between.
๐ Still working...๐ Still learning...
๐ Still exploring...
๐ Still getting tired...
๐ Still getting excited about new ideas...
๐ Still occasionally questioning myself...
And still moving..............๐
There are things I'm looking forward to in the coming months. Some are already planned, some are quietly taking shape, and knowing me, there will probably be a few spontaneous decisions somewhere along the way too. ๐
But perhaps I don't need to tell every story before it happens.
Some chapters deserve to be lived first.
For now, I'm simply grateful.
๐ Grateful for the opportunities.
๐ Grateful for the people I meet along the way.
๐ Grateful for everything I have learned.
Grateful even for the difficult days, because somehow they have taught me just as much as the good ones.
And most importantly, grateful that I still have the curiosity to ask myself,
“What else can I learn? What else can I experience? What else am I capable of?”
Maybe life isn't asking us to have everything figured out.
Maybe it is simply asking us to keep showing up, stay open to what comes next and appreciate who we are becoming along the way.
While I was busy wondering where life was taking me, perhaps life was quietly showing me what I am capable of. ❤️
