Everything in life that happens to you is for a reason.

You know how they say life is in seasons?

Like one season you are a high-flying employee and jetting around the world, big- girl/ big-boy style?

And the next, you are a struggling entrepreneur trying to get a new business off the ground?

The thing is that every experience you go through is preparing you for something ahead of you. Don't give up on yourself because you feel you are not where you are supposed to be.

Every setback is an opportunity to learn something - even if it is only resilience.

Working with my mum in her restaurant as a young girl taught me marketing and customer service. Two things that have I been using to excel in my career and business life today. Yet those days when I was working in that restaurant were so terrible for me at the time.

So these days, whatever season I am in, whether of plenty or of not-so-plenty, I ask God to show me the lesson here. I put down my head and I work excellently through it, a smile on my face.

You too can do the same. You may be going through a season that is not-so-good in your life right now. The COVID and all has brought lots of chaos to jobs and businesses.

How will you reinvent yourself?

What attitude are you adapting as you go through this?

What lesson are you learning from it all?

It may just be the needed plug for the next phase of your life.

It's another Monday, I just want to tell you that I am rooting for you. You will make it! Go on and shine.

P.S. My inspirational book will be out before the end of July. It is a compilation of all my inspirational writings for over a year. All those who indicated will get it free. If you're interested let me know. It's another of my birthday gifts to you. After July, it will be on sale.

Till I come your way again,

I remain your favourite girl,

Brenda Unu.
