Real with Rue

Life truly goes on…

I know its not an old age or anything special, but for me 23 felt like my biggest step into my twenties than 22. The day of my birthday, I reflected the goals and ambitions I want to achieve before 24, and how I will approach the new year. Looking back, the biggest lesson I’ve learnt is life whether I like it or not, covid or not, it will truly go on. A comforting and somewhat scary reality, which is why I’m getting stricter with my self, so I don’t carry these habits till I die.

Cant keep making same ol’ mistakes:

When it comes to procrastination, I am the epitome of ‘I’ll do it tomorrow.’ I would like to say I work under pressure (which I can) but, I really want to enjoy being more in control with my time, making sure that everything is done to high standard. A part of that is me trying to achieve 20 goals, in the same 24 hours as Beyonce. Recently, I’ve created a routine of 3 things that need to be done before bed, most of them are repetitive, and one thing might be different. For example, I always have to read, but I don’t go to the gym everyday.

Forwards forever, backwards never

One of my favourite verses in the bible is ‘guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.’ When I look at some events that occurred this year in my life, they were very passive and unintentional. I really considered the results of my job and some relationships , if I had been more intentional how would that have changed things! Obviously, I can’t dwell on the past, but in order to achieve various goals on my vision board, the word ‘No!’ will be used frequently in my vocabulary. My goal is to be recognised for being a woman of my word, which includes having the right boundaries.

Its been real,

Rue.
