If you were to ask me to sum up October in one word, I’d say it was a CELEBRATION
Here’s why 👇🏾
I celebrated and was celebrated
I celebrated because it was my birthday on October 3rd and it is my custom to spend the whole month celebrating
I celebrated by doing the things I enjoy and seeing the people that I love
i.e. those who fill my heart
Then, the ultimate cherry on top of all the birthday cakes I had in October was going to Paris, where I had the privilege of speaking and receiving a Legendary Woman Of Impact Award
So, it really was a month filled with celebrations and reasons to celebrate, including my goddaughter’s birthday
What was interesting about this season, when I really think about it, is that I don’t often celebrate myself
I’m the sort of person who’ll hit a milestone and be like, “Okay, what’s next? What do I do now?”
I don’t always take time out to pause and reflect on what I’ve achieved because I’m constantly thinking about what I need to do next or what I’m yet to achieve
And so, when people point out my achievements and praise me, I’ll accept it. However, because I’m aware of the gap between where I currently am and where I want to be, I often don't savour those moments of praise. But in October, I feel like I was forced to look back at my journey from where I started (as a blogger) to where I am now (as an award-winning blogger, international speaker and PR specialist)
This month, I remembered that although I’m not where I want to be, I’m not where I used to be, and that’s worth celebrating
If you've been nodding while reading this, thanks for validating my experience but, more importantly, keep reading because this message is for you too
Yes you, sis!
Take a breather and really consider the steps that you’ve taken. The mountains you’ve climbed and everything you’ve achieved so far. You’ve done amazing things!
And, yes, there’s still more that you want to do, but take this moment to really clap for yourself
With that in mind remain grateful and know that, although the best is yet to come, you are worthy of celebration even here and now
PS) There's nothing like going through the process of creating a media bio to force you to look at your experience, qualifications and all the other things that you’ve achieved so far! Next time you're feeling unsure of yourself or behind in life, I thoroughly recommend either reading your current bio or writing a list of all your accomplishments to remind yourself who the heck you are!
Don’t have a media bio and not sure how to create one?
