A year of Firsts

The second half to 2016 is certainly primed to be the year of firsts

The first time I decided to liberate my voice and record a jingle

The first time I set up my profile and accepted my awesomeness

The first time I stopped apologizing for my demons and became a victor

The first time I stopped worrying about other people’s opinions

And just shined,

I learnt to stop apologizing for my awesomeness

(and I learnt that I love using the word awesome a bit too much)

The first time I admitted my problems to myself

And sought ways of solving them

The first time I liberated my writing and wrote articles for blogs

The first time I stepped up and accepted duty as part of an organizing committee

The first time I set up a literacy program that would give back to the community

I just needed to trust in my faith, my talents

 and pray for God to unravel all his plans for me

I’m ready to receive the abundant blessings he has in store for me

I am ready to conquer the world

One day at a time

One dream at a time

 one prayer at a time .

 

The start of greatness
