When we are born, we never imagine growing up and becoming our own caretaker. From age zero, we depend on our guardians to motivate, push, and guide us in everything we do. Unfortunately, most of us never prepare for the day that our caretakers won't be there anymore. Taking responsibility is about self parenting, self leadership, and self authoring. Ask yourself these following questions to know if you are responsible.

- If no one told you what to do, would you know what to do?

- When is the last time you learned a skill on your own?

- When is the last time you asked someone for advice?

- Are you consistently searching for solutions on your own?

If your answer to any of these questions is NO, then you need to examine your life.

You are the manager, secretary, and auditor of your days. Take a deep look into your life and take ownership of your life. Spend every hour with intentions doing something productive. They say, luck is when opportunity meets preparedness. It's your job to be prepared in order to be blessed.

In this episode I talk about what most people told me. 

"I hope you didn't change." said one old friend. 

"What did you do to my son?" Said my mother. 

Conclusion: Change is the most feared aspect of life. Yet it's inevitable and unpredictable. For more about this topic keep listening and learn how I deal with it.

In this episode, I talk about 

1. My healing journey from grief of my Father, my little brother, my auntie, and my two uncles. 

2. Consequences of unhealed trauma like loss and how you can naturally heal from any illness. 

3. HOW and WHY;

- I quit playing and leading music

- Dropped out of college

- Stopped going to church

- Stopped hanging out with people who drained my energy

- Started my side hustle.

- Moved to Africa

I DID IT ALL to protect my mental health because I was struggling with depression and loss of six family members including my father and our last born. Being unaware of mental health, grieving process, and support from my family and community, I had to solve this problem on my own. - I started eating healthy, sleeping early, hanging out with my close friends, and going in nature.

Did you know Amazon started as an online book store. They sold books only. Today Amazon sales almost anything you can think of. One of the reason why we fail to create change is wasting our time, resources, and energy waiting for our calling and passion to be revealed to us. The truth is, finding one's calling is about engaging and trying all the talents and ideas given to us. If you want to know what you're meant to do in your life, start by pursuing anything you're interested in.

The biggest obstacle between our desired best life can be narrowed down to self control.
