March Topic POSTPONED to April - Birthday Post Loading (25 Lessons of Life)

I know I just posted that this month's blog post topic was the "Importance of Not Going Through Life Alone," but I had to pay homage to how far I have been blessed to come in life to the point of seeing my 25th year of life!!! So, in honor of my quarter century, I will share twenty-five of the most impactful lessons I've learned in my life, and how they have shaped who I am today. The previous topic will be postponed to April; so don't worry - it's coming.

March Release: Don't Go Through Life Alone

It must be tough trying to bear burdens on your own. You feel like because of the cards you were dealt in life, no one could possibly empathize with your situation, and that you must go it alone. It seems as if the more things pile on you, the less others are likely to lend a helping hand - and you couldn't be more wrong. We are social creatures who need love and interactions from others to thrive. So if you're trying to get through life on your own volition and support, you will find yourself continuously reaching roadblocks, and wondering why you feel so alone and/or empty. Stay tuned for my March release to learn more about the reasons why, and what you should do to mitigate the potential challenges you have coming  your way.

Is This Who You Wanted to Become?

Being able to witness a milestone such as entering a new decade calls for a time of self-reflection. Personally, it’s been a time to think about how far I’ve come in the past 10 years; particularly as a result of the environments I’ve found myself in, and the impact they’ve had on my life. But not just my own, but others as well. I get it - we’re all special in our own way thanks to the Man upstairs. But of course, given free will, we make decisions for ourselves. Those decisions have typically been influenced by our environment - whether we were born in a low-income neighborhood or a wealthy one; whether we grew up in a home with one parent or both; whether we went to a HBCU, a PWI, were home-schooled, or didn’t go to school at all - we were all impacted by external factors. But the question is, how did it play a role in how our lives panned out?

February Release: Products of Own Environments

Yeah I know - its March and this is a February release. But this was a theme that kept coming up last month for me, and I'd been taking some time to unpack. The topic is how our environment shapes who we are as individuals. Traditionally, people think of their environment as their living situation - whether or not they were born into an area that was wealthy or low-income. But your environment spans well past physical surroundings. It includes the people, the vibes, the societal beliefs, the upbringing, etc. Because we don't always consider these additional pieces, we don't realize the amount of influence it has on us, and our paths moving forward in life. So let's talk about it - how does our environment shape who we are as people, and what does that mean for us? The post will be released soon!
