It is good to have people we admire, look up to and learn from who have gone ahead of us. However it is mentally unfit to keep feeling sorry for yourself for not being where you want to be.

Everyone has a different path to get them to where they want to be.

You should never spend time feeling sorry for where you are not, instead put in the work and time to get to where you want to be.

When you are going through challenges it is easy to slide into thoughts of frustration, demotivation, despair and hopelessness. It is important to remember that challenges are part of life and those experiences will one day count for something. You will get to one day wear them as your badges of honour.

Keep hope Alive.

Never be afraid of failure because the experiences and lessons learnt will be part of your success journey.

Saying that you care or support someone is not enough. It is important to show up when you are called upon to do so by the people you care about. Whether it is at the time of loss, crisis or just even to lend a listening ear.

We always make plans for things but what most people fail to do is make time for rest. There is a need for rest as it rejuvenates your body, spirit and most importantly your mind.

Anger is an overpowering emotion. It consumes you quickly and if not well managed it can lead us to making life altering split second decisions that can be life altering.

We should learn to check our Anger and never let it control us.

We lose the beauty of having curiosity and wild dreams as we grow up. Unlike when we were kids and our young minds were free to soak up what the world was when we grow up we find ourselves confined to routines, societal norms of what we think people want to see.

I want you to believe in the beauty of your dreams. Believe in yourself because you have to before anyone else can.

I'll lead with a disclaimer in this episode: don't worry yourself to death. Excessive worrying can cause anxiety, depression, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure among other ailments that are bad for your mental fitness and mental wellbeing.

Worrying has its purpose in our lives. Worries are the buffers we have to help us stop for a minute and think about our future. Worrying gives us a snap back to reality to help us plan and strategize so that our future is not lost in the now.

We all have one thing in common and that is emotions. The difference is how self aware and how emotionally intelligent we are when it comes to dealing with our emotions.

Support means being there for someone that you care about; providing them with what they need at a particular time. It could also mean that you allow someone that needs the support the space to figure stuff out.
