The various emotions I went through when I realised that I was turning 30 are unimaginable. So many questions kept popping up: “what have I achieved now I am turning 30 ”? What happened to all my dreams”? “Have I done well for myself?”? “Why don’t I complete a project”? These thoughts were throwing me into self doubt, anger, insecurity, pain, fear and depression (my husband wouldn’t agree with the depression part though). Thank God I have answers to those questions…

Inasmuch as I know I have work to do, I am super proud of where I am, grateful for all the beautiful gifts God has given that money and a career cannot buy – love, joy, peace, amazing friendship, family etc. I am even grateful for lessons learnt from mistakes in my ventures.

Please never allow your age or how you feel limit your thought for greatness… Who told you that at a certain age you have to be all accomplished – married, kids, degrees, successful in business etc. Who the HECK set the standards for attainment we subject ourselves to? You can experience greatness at any stage or phase in life, we all grow differently, so stop beating yourself up based on statistics, family/societal expectations, social media and others. Just strive to be better than who you are today.

  Fulfilment does not come from ticking the boxes you or people have placed in your life. Fulfilment comes from being better than you were yesterday keep putting a foot in front of the other daily, we are not in a race, so pace yourself.
