Let me share a few things I’ve learned recently:
- A while ago, I began wondering whether I was doing anything significant in life. You know how we all get caught up in activities and duties but worry if they matter. Two days ago, I heard in my spirit that my most impactful work wasn’t what I assumed it would be. I was making an impact, just not in the way I had originally imagined. I found the answer in quietness, when I ceased activity. Sometimes, what you’re looking for can be found when you stop striving and start listening.
- I’ve learnt to apply division of labour with God. There are some things that are my work and there are other things that are God’s work. I ought to let God do his work and stop worrying or trying to control things. I need to decide if I trust God. If I do, I should believe what he says.
- I refuse to let other people’s achievements tension me on social media. I refuse to believe my life is little compared to theirs. In fact, I have stopped spending so much time on social media. Most achievements are done offline. While you’re scrolling through people’s feeds, they are busy working and achieving offline.
- The process is life. I’m the type of person who finishes work first and then rewards myself after. I’m learning to stop this; to enjoy the process instead of waiting for the result; to infuse moments of joy while waiting; to embrace it all.
- Life experiences and ideologies are based on information that is available to you. There really is no shortcut. If I want to change my life, then I must learn new things and meet new people.
