Just Start!





I laid in bed having no zeal to start gym. (Yes it is difficult!)

Kept telling myself that once I feel like it, I would do it. 
Yet I didn't get that feeling at all. 
journey

So, looking for some inspiration, I watched a TED Talk and the message was definitely something I needed to hear- You're not going to feel like doing it most times, so do it ANYWAY! 

Simple, truthful reminder but powerful impact. I looked at how many times I waited for the "right moment" to do something. And reflecting on this made me realize that I was sometimes scared of
something. 
Fear is something that can keep anyone of us stuck in our comfort zone because we know it's safe and we are familiar with the territory. 

That's not always a good thing.

Staying in the comfort zone can stunt growth. And when I realised the things that I wanted to try and the possibilities of what can be....I decided to just start.

Thinking about developing a new skill?- JUST START

Want to open a new business?- JUST START

Trying to become more healthy ?- JUST START

Waiting for the "right moment?"- JUST START

Taking that first step out of the comfort zone can have SO many rewards. It is not easy and it may be messy but guess what, it's progress! 

Writing my 1st blog post is one of my "just start" moments. I've always wanted to write and share my thoughts to help motivate others. 

But life happened....

And despite it all, my desire to write never left. Sooooooo here I go....I've started!

Different Path. Same Goal.

  While working in Grenada, there was a program that became available for employees to access sessions with a career coach. I remember sitting in her office as we discussed my current career as well as my goals for the upcoming years.  One of those goals involved going to the US for training, however, there was another opportunity that was offered to us-the option of going to the UK for training instead.  As I reviewed the prospects with my coach, it seemed so easy on paper as we wrote down the pros and cons of moving to either country as well as the career opportunities each offered.  For years I wanted to go to the US for training-did the exams, did my rotations, and attended conferences in my specialty choice to boost my chances. Despite doing what I could have, it just didn't work out when I wanted it to.  But I was determined to keep trying.  This determination however was challenged by my coach when we looked at the pros and cons of each training post...

Reset. Remember. Revived.

  It has been way too long!  I’ve been away because I had a lot of things going on and unfortunately my blog was put on a little hold.  But I’m back!!  Let me tell you. Despite everything going on and life getting busy, I got the greatest gift for Christmas.  After 2 years, I was finally able to visit home! I literally screamed and had the biggest smile on my face as I clicked, clicked, clicked to purchase my plane ticket.  It was a very short trip, but you know what? I enjoyed and thanked God for every moment of it.  I got to hug my family after so long. I met my new niece for the first time.  I got to meet up with a few friends (those who I didn’t get to meet…we shall soon IJN)  This trip did something that I was in badly need of… rest .   Sitting back and laughing at childhood memories as I ate the yummy meals my mum made was amongst the best feelings in the world.  Spending time with all my girlfriends helped me to relax on...

Beyond the Lines

  My 5-year-old niece loves to draw and experiment with different colours. She would use colouring pencils or paint to create drawings or pictures which she adores. One of pieces she completed,  received a comment that she should colour within the lines.  My immediate question was why? (I mean she was just 3!!)  Yes, I know sometimes when colouring within the lines, we get beautiful imagery and the lines guide as to where to colour. But what about the times when we would like to go beyond those lines and see what else can be created?  Needless to say, this can be compared to our lives.  There are times when we do need those lines to guide us along our paths but not in every single circumstance these will be present. Sometimes we need to create beyond those lines or even traverse where there is nothing to use as a guide.  An example of this can be stepping out of our comfort zones. We already know what can be done when we stay in our comfort zones; behi...
