Turning 22 - One year ago!!

Turning 21 was a defining moment in my life, and I know that when I look back on 2009, I can see that I changed my whole perspective towards my studies, my career and my life in total.

To be one year down the line and still see that change is great. Although I have left some things behind, and it has not been easy, I owe the credit to

1. Change of Environment: I need to keep a surrounding (physical, emotional & spiritual) that enables me to complete all my goals. My dad alway's used to scream at me ( and sometime still does) about keeping my room tidy EVERYDAY!!! I used to always get worked up about it, because I never saw why he had to do that. Let me tell you something. If your possessions and otems are in disorder, whats the chance of you being able to find them, do work in that environment or even think. It's near impossible to operate in a messy/ unhygienic or disorderly environment. It's not tolerated in the workplace, and should not be tolerated by yourself in your room. (Look out for my blog "The Boardroom" that will expand further on this)
2. Change of Attitude: I forced myself to change my attitude towards alot of key factors of my life. People, Work, My career, Leisure etc. You name it, I tried my best to adapt a new approach to it. My previous attitude was non-chalant, very lastminute.com and I picked and choosed what I'd dedicate my time to. That has had to change and I've understand
   
3. Change of Mindset: I changed the way I thought about things. Don't get me wrong. It didn't just happen like POOF!! Everything changed...It's a process and I still have habitual thinking the hinder's me from achieving what I want to achieve.
   


4. Change in the way I spent my time: I've noticed a lot of my friends have not liked me or had minor problems with this point, because, I've spent more time ON my future than ever before and that means time OFF phone calls, socials and jamming. I'd made a concious decision to dedicate the majority of my time to being productive. I wanted to be able to have something to show for my time. Mainly I wanted to be able build things that lasted as opposed to things that would not. E.G I can always build a conversation, however building a business can sometimes be seasonal and sometimes depend on opportunities...

There are more contributing factors but I'll save that for later. I want to express my gratitude and also my perspective on what has started me on this journey, and the jon is half done, because I'M STILL ON MY WAY.....

Thank you to everyone who has believed in me and contributed comments, encouragement and time into helping me believe in myself...I'm 22 and I know that more is expected of me this year...I pray God gives me the grace to deliver...
