Redirect Your Life

Some while growing up were told they could never change their mind on things. Once they fix their eyes on something, they would die with it. Others were told they had to live the lives the parents/guardians chose for them and they are now stuck. Just breathing in and out and not have anything to live and long for.

School of life has taught us differently. It is time for some redirection.

It is okay to change your course of life and feel no ounce of guilt. It is perfectly okay and nothing in life is cast on stone.

Change your mind and leave any form of a ship that is not adding any value. It doesn't matter how long it has been there. If any form of a ship, relationship, friendship, situationship, sponsorship, is not adding value just leave. If the ship is sucking out your joy, purpose, and worth you don't have to stick there. After all, who said the road to happiness is through any form of a ship. Pick up yourself and walk your journey. Redirect your life. You'd rather be alive and single, a handful of friends than dead or putting out fire every day.

Lest I forget there are those who were told the best careers are in engineering, neurosurgeon, and architecture yet your joy is not there. They toil every day to fit in to make others proud yet the emptiness is written all over. Posting pictures of mama I made it yet their passion is in other things. As long as you have breathe, do something that you are passionate about. Is it baking? Arts? Plumbing? Business? Do it and do it diligently that you'll be known as the greatest plumber or even shoemaker who ever lived. No career is small or for a specific gender. I have watched architects who are bakers. I have also watched women who are great architects.

Stop confining yourself to the pacts your forefathers made that are now haunting you. If you notice a pattern and a cycle that needs to be broken in your family do so. If you notice a trend, you don't have to part of it. The cycle sometimes got to end with you. You myght be the saviour and destiny changer of your family. Say and believe that your family will no longer be known as the family of drunkards and addicts, husband snatchers, thieves, single parents, and begin planning towards making it a reality. Making radical choices to stop the patterns and living differently.

You were created to live not to exist.

Stop living in the shadows of others, your past, mistakes, family. Redirect your life to something that is beautiful. Take worthy risks and purpose to live. Change your mind from the normalcy of empty living, abuse, poverty, and lack.

 The world is waiting for the refreshed, rejuvenated, and awakened you. But it starts with redirecting your life. You cannot expect changes when you are doing the same thing.
