Over the years, I’ve learnt this the hard way:
Long weekend → Stay home → Explore local places without the crazy traffic.
And when you actually want a vacation, take a day off and turn a normal weekend into a long weekend.
Better experience. Lesser crowds. More reasonable prices.
Sometimes, one day of leave can make a much better vacation.
There’s a strange stage of life where you start enjoying:
Going home early.
Canceling unnecessary plans.
Quiet mornings.
Clean spaces.
Good conversations.
Apparently, peace is the new flex.
The doors keep opening up when you keep moving with intentionality.
Kuwa tu mtu mpoa.
Be long term visioned.
If you can hold someone hand,do it and keep it moving.
Because let me tell you.
I’m grateful.
it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
In life, use every unfair advantage you have to your benefit be it looks, genetics, connections, family wealth and inheritance, curves...whatever it is.
Life is not a soap opera. Do not choose the hardest path to act noble when an easier path still takes you home. People ultimately judge you on results and outcomes: not your tribulations in the Egyptian Desert to Canaan.
