Talking with a girlfriend and she asked about how at peace I& #39;ve looked and been. I took minding my business to heart all of 2019. I lived offline and only shared the ring with the people who showed up to fight with me. I learned a few things this year:
1. Not everyone deserves access to every detail of your existence. I know social media is forcing this authentic and transparent narrative, but there is still magic in maintaining your mystery. Authenticity doesn& #39;t have to be loud.
2. I ran my own race. I don& #39;t care about who& #39;s ahead, beside or behind. I& #39;ve been so focused on my own race, I haven& #39;t allowed any room to be distracted by who else is running. Comparison slows you down, I& #39;m focused. Less social media use helped.
3. Understand order. You cannot be the intern and the boss all at once. We are all being forced or shamed into thinking we must do it all now and everyone wants to be the boss now. This year, I found joy in being the student and mastering the level Im currently at.
4. I give people room to be exactly who they are. It doesn& #39;t mean I have to stick around to watch them be it. Every person I have in my life, I have chosen them to be there.
5. I know what I want, but I know I& #39;m not ready to handle the version of my life I& #39;m pursuing. It is grace to be able to not yet have all I want, bcos I am still working on being the woman that can handle it. Knowing that makes it easier to not rush anything.
6. Respect the timing of your life. Mind your business. Run your own race. Save your coins. Live low-key. Show up for the people that matter. Practice discipline. Eat well. Drink more water. Become competent. Check your character. Be grateful.
