Lesson #2: "Remember who you are..."

 A message to young women...


I often find myself thinking, “I wish I knew then what I know now.” Life would have been easier if someone had taught me certain lessons earlier. But the truth is, guidance can only take us so far, the choices we make are our own, and it’s through those choices and experiences that we grow.

As women, the world can sometimes break us down. That’s why it’s so important to build ourselves up, to create a firm foundation that cannot be shaken, no matter what challenges come our way. By foundation, I don’t mean financial security. I mean mental strength, physical well‑being, and a healthy view of yourself. These are the pillars that will carry you through disappointments, setbacks, and trying times.

Knowing Yourself

One of the most powerful ways to build that foundation is by truly understanding yourself. You might think, “Of course I know who I am.” But do you really?

  • What are your core values?
  • What makes you happy or sad?
  • What are your dreams, goals, and aspirations, and are you actively working toward them?
  • How are you evolving, maturing, and improving as time goes on?

Asking yourself these questions is not only valuable, it’s essential. 💗

A Lesson from Experience

During a difficult time in my life, I had a conversation with a Pastor who gave me a simple but profound piece of advice:

“Always remember who you are.”

It struck me deeply. Sometimes life’s challenges consume us so much that we forget our true selves. Having this reminder in your toolkit can help you shift your perspective, refocus, and realign with your values.

The Lesson

Lesson #2: "Remember who you are..."

Value yourself. Remember where you’ve come from, what you’ve achieved, and the experiences that have shaped you. All of this knowledge and growth forms the foundation that will carry you forward.

Sometimes, all it takes is a gentle reminder to bring us back on track. 😉

Lesson #3 : Cultivate strong relationships

Image
Be Grateful for True Relationships In the journey of life, we meet countless people. Some remain acquaintances, others become friends, and a few rare ones connect with our soul, those friendships last a lifetime. Over the years, I’ve encountered all kinds of people, some genuinely good, some with questionable intentions, and others who were simply toxic. It’s been a roller‑coaster learning to distinguish between them. One thing I’ve discovered is that instincts are powerful guides, if you’re in tune with yourself, you can sense the vibrations that reveal whether someone is truly good for you. Building Meaningful Connections I’ve learned to focus on the relationships that matter most, family and close friends who are present and supportive. For me, nurturing these bonds is vital to creating a strong support system. I’m not someone who calls every day, but I believe in the reassurance that when you need me, I’ll be there, regardless of time or distance. True connection isn’t measur...

Lesson #1: You will never know unless you try.....

 Getting to know the girl behind the woman... One of the most thought‑provoking questions you can ask yourself is: “Who am I?” It’s deceptively simple, yet profoundly difficult. The truth is, we are never constant, we are always changing, evolving, and becoming. Sometimes that change is shaped by circumstances, sometimes by choice, and often by what we feed our soul. So, who am I? I am a woman, a gentle and caring soul, walking a path of self‑discovery. Right now, I am a single professional with a zest for life that has grown as I uncover the true meaning and value of living. Each day, I strive to become a better version of myself. Roots and Beginnings I grew up in East London, a small town in South Africa. As a child, I was very thin, teased for looking like an “ironing board.” I was introverted, quiet, and often lacked the confidence to truly be myself. Yet I persevered, completed high school, and went on to study at Rhodes University. Becoming one of the first in my famil...
