ALIVE OR JUST BREATHING?

    As I am writing this, I am in an ecstatic mood. Ever since I had my spiritual awakening realizing that there is so much more to life than our current state of reality, happiness has been like a shadow following me everywhere I go. We tend to get caught up with what is happening to us instead on focusing on how to respond to all these experiences that we get bombarded with in our daily lives. All the posts that I have written so far have been an evaluation of the experiences that I have and still going through and this post is not an exception. I have gone through plenty of challenges over these past few couple of months and at times I felt so low that it was affecting my whole well being. It is the things and people that we love dearly that can hurt us the most. I felt like I had been pushed to the wall and as if there was only one way out of my predicament and that was to accept defeat. I had to step back and look at the bigger picture and once I did that, I experienced a paradigm shift. I have realized there is no point of stressing over our current negative situations because it makes us live in the past hindering progress.

    In life you either win or learn. Detach yourself from failure and look at it as an opportunity to know how to do things right the next time. Resistance is part of success. After changing my perception about my reality I had to reset my mind to accommodate all that I had learnt to prepare myself for my next battle. What better way to free your mind than a weekend getaway with amazing friends to a place so surreal as the Great Rift Valley Lodge! The friends that you keep are either going to build you or break you. At your worst, you will need friends to help you lift the weight off; choose them wisely. I live for new experiences and heading to Naivasha, where the lodge is located, was an incredible idea. Being away from the city life unclogs your mind and brings you mental clarity. The ambiance of the lodge was warm and it felt like a home away from home. My mind was only focused on enjoying myself and forming stronger bonds with my friends. It made my challenges feel really small and not as important as I had perceived them to be. In fact, I am glad that I went through the low moments because it made me appreciate what is most valuable in life which is making stronger connections with people I love and seeing what the world has to offer in terms of its natural beauty. I live to travel and I want to inspire you to want to see the world as badly as I want to. Life was not meant to be lived in the same place. I made a short clip to show you some snapshots of the weekend getaway and maybe you could visit the place and have an unforgettable time too. Life is too exciting to not be experienced.
