Hello all and Happy March I have had a mixed start to the year. Plans delayed, time slipping away from me like water and waves of overwhelm threatening to take me out. Lots of water references there but like water I have been bending and adapting on going with the flow. My major thing is I bought my ticket said enough with the delays and have re-based to Accra, Ghana.
This is also a time of Lent for those that believe and has become a time where people generally take the 40 days to abstain, commit or reflect on something meaningful to them. For me it is a focus and commitment to following my purpose. The goals, ideas and ambitions that have come to me and sit in my head staring at me saying wheeeen, when will you bring me to life and set me freeeeee (yes quite dramatic I agree!) So taking on the characteristics of discipline, focus, sacrifice and intentionality I hope to have got closer to achieving some of these things at the end of the 40 days.
Ghana is and remains my life university, I see things better, sharper with more possibility that feels attainable and so that is why I need to be based here. What do you need to do? It might seem unattainable, risky or just completely crazy to some but what do you lose if you don’t do it? What is one person’s crazy is another person’s brave? Anthony Robbins talks a great deal about taking Massive Action.
I’m learning it doesn’t stop with one action but the first one makes the next many not seem quite so massive, scary and impossible. So this month Lent for me has a humongous action at the end of it and over the next 40 days I will use each day to get closer and more comfortable with being uncomfortable, but paving the way to making me long term happy. What are your plans?
