CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO SOMETHING NEW

     It had always crossed my mind to start blogging but I never got myself to actually begin. Today is different. It has occurred to me that the only way I can continue growing is if I push myself to try out something new. I honestly did not see myself starting a blog today but if I kept saying that tomorrow I will, tomorrow would have never come. We spend so much time of our lives debating whether what we set out to do will actually come into fruition. Stop overthinking and just do it. Trust me you will ask yourself why you did not start sooner.

    I want to introduce myself to the world. My name is Leah Wangari Ngechu, a proud Kenyan girl who sees the world as her oyster. This blog is an avenue that I will use to speak my mind. I have always wanted to share my point of view with anyone who will care to listen. Helping people realize their full potential is one of my life goals. I am not an expert on the subject of life, no one is, but I can try share my experiences and lessons which I have learnt throughout my life in hopes that someone somewhere in the world will read my posts and feel inspired. 

    Today's post is all about surpassing boundaries that we have unconsciously set for ourselves. Are you desirous of being great? It is time to get out of your comfort zone; nothing great ever comes out of it. I have lived my life in a box and the way that I felt about myself on the inside was not being reflected through my actions. We can get comfortable in our current situations that we forget to grow. You need to understand that change is inevitable. If you find yourself doing the same thing over and over just passing your life away, it is time for a change. This can be at work, in school or even at home. You deserve to have new experiences in your life. This is what we call living. I want you to get into a state of awareness, realize that the society sets out roles for us. It is always the same story; go to school, get a good job where you just see your life passing you by. I am not saying that being employed is wrong, if that is what you want to do with your life well and good. But, so many people are caught up in a rut, stuck in a job they do not like or just simply doing anything that does not evoke that burning desire within themselves to achieve their full potential. 

    Break out of the habit. So, how do you do this? It all starts in the mind. You have to get into a mindset where no one can stop you from achieving whatever it is that you want in life. The hardest part is always the beginning but it is as simple as just taking the first step even when you cannot see the rest of the staircase. Getting into the right mentality can be challenging but nothing worth it comes easy. Trust me, once you have that enthusiasm that cannot be reckoned with, you will be unstoppable. Break down hard tasks into small simple ones and take care of each small task step by step. Eventually, all that you envision will come into your reality. What are you waiting for? Start now.
