The 23rd Birthday Project. Day Seven

                         Gratitude

We are finally here on the 7th day, the day that signifies completion and perfection. The 23rd Birthday Project is officially complete. Although, I can't say it was perfect because there were some emotional struggles, I can say the journey was absolutely beautiful, and I'm proud of myself for seeing it through. It was truly an eye-opening experience.

I have a lot to be thankful for, a full list with no end. God's love for me is ridiculously overwhelming, against all odds I'm never alone, my steps have always being guided and will always be. My parents are priceless gems. I can't even explain the expanse of my gratitude for the gift of them. I'm really blessed to be covered by the strength of their love and understanding. They've made my life a colorful one.

As I've come to see, it's quite easy to drown in negative emotions, to let the waves of sadness, pain or anger, drag us into the deep. It is so easy to forget the little details that color our lives. But it's also important to appreciate those moments of great despair and sadness, they carry with them lessons and powerful weapons of change which we should try to look out for instead of letting these emotions overwhelm us.

I'm grateful for consciousness. Being able to live my life as consciously as possible has to been amazing so far. Full awareness of my imperfections and limitations has fueled my determination to be a better version of myself, the best "me"there can be. 

I simply want to live my life fully, for that to happen I need to be aware of and explore all the possibilities that can be available to me. I want to spread God's love and light to the corners of the earth. I want things ranging from relaxing on my island, traveling the world on my private jet to playing hide and seek with my kids, and teaching them the Igbo alphabet. Dreams will become reality. I intend to live a full, long, and healthy life by the grace of God.

I am very thankful because I've received everything I've asked for and more. This new year marks the beginning of everything. I look forward to writing more often.

YOU CAN ONLY BE WHAT YOU CAN SEE.
