I was reminded many times during the year to call more strongly on my faith. Not just to just talk about it but to be it. I had asked multiple times for answers to situations, issues and concerns. And I had to learn to believe more earnestly, leave it alone and let it transpire.
Sometimes, things can be very simple; all I had to do was ask
They say that laughter is the best medicine. I laughed often and I laughed hard
I continued to take time out of the world of work to down tools and go see new places, talk to new people and discover something new
There are times in life when simply doing nothing is the best course of action. I had to wait and learn patience.
In July, my role was made redundant. In the midst of trying to find a new role, I was compelled to stop. Stop applying for roles. Stop talking about the topic. I decided not to make any decisions until the end of the month. I would enjoy the month enjoy the summer sun and focus on the present
One thing that is certain for all of us is death. Within the last hour of our last day, what will we say on our deathbed? How will we feel? Happy and content that we have lived a life that was worth it or one full of regret?
My uncle, aged 93, passed in August, and in our last conversation, he shared with us how proud he was of the man he became. A Christian, a black man, a husband, a son, a friend, a pastor, and so much more. And at his funeral, everyone talked about the joy he brought into their lives and the difference he made. The wisdom he shared and the laughs they had. He made time for people. For me, that was a life well lived. He was rich in love; he gave it and received it. May we all take a leaf out of his life book. RIP uncle.
2024 will be another great year for all the right reasons. Thanks for engaging and happy new year.
