The right time





I am working on a blog series on “The right time”.


I plan on exploring a few different aspects of what people expect at different stages of our lives and would love to hear what you might want me to explore.


Whether it be starting a family, career plans or even retirement.


Comment with something relevant and I hope to include it in this series.


I look forward to seeing what your views are.

    Health in this day and age... Mental and physical health, family time, all that you need to stay on top of things and stay sane during these crazy times

      Thank you so much for your comment! Health is really important, and even in today's times it seems people are not fully understanding the need for sound mental health.

    I like to be as micro-ambitious as possible, so my goals arent very far-sighted. By working very hard at what's right in front of me and almost disregarding things that are "out of sight" as "out of mind", I can focus all my effort on what is happening now. In this way I have shifted careers a number of times because no future plan is binding me to a current position, method or goal. Through this, everything happens at "the right time" for me.

    That said, I do have some loose goals, like being able to retire at 60. Hopefully whatever path I end up taking gets me that far at least 😅

      Thank you for your comment! I’m sure with all your career changing people are constantly telling you that “You need to find one and stick to it?” “You need to settle down”? I’d love to explore the career aspect. Thanks for sharing

    Reading the first post, has given me a great deal to think on and reflect. I look forward to what comes next.

    Defining success has been on my mind for sometime. The traditional goals still exist, but many people take a different road and get looked down upon. Exploring such a topic I believe would encourage open conversation among many readers.

      Thanks so much for your comment! That is definitely one! People try telling us what success is, but it’s unique to each person

    The expectations people have on themselves and others once they've reached certain ages.

    E.g. expectation to study and know what you want straight after matric, or being married with so many kids by the time you get to a certain age etc.

Self-love, self-care: Choosing yourself and allowing true love

Image
You know those fairytales? Those love stories from movies? Well as you’d think, it’s not real. But what is real is finding someone so well fit for you that you surpass any expectation of a movie. I had been in relationships before (the last one was over 5 years) and I always felt invisible and out of place. But I feel now what it feels like to meet your soul mate. I understand why people want to get married or become life partners. I get how people can wake up to someone and feel excited to see them in the evening even when that is 12 hours away. I  have found true love in its purest form. And yes, honeymoon phase happens. But none of this has ever happened. I feel happy just seein g him. I feel a joy from deep within whenever we have a conversation about any of our passions. I didn’t have a real “list” before, but he meets and exceeds all I thought I would want. The reality of life is that sometimes things happen when you aren’t expecting or wanting it to. And those things may end...

Our part in decreasing overdose and suicide rates

 Michael K Williams was an award winning actor. Moving from being a temp at Pfizer, to the the fame we knew him for. Unfortunately, he overdosed on fentanyl. Fentanyl is a very powerful opiod. It is used to relieve excruciating pain, and is common in overdose cases in America. This was a guy who, on TV, seemed to be happy. Seemed to have had life figured out. But what happened shows that life is life. There are struggles that even fame, money and a new path can’t solve. If you look deeper into his past, you will see that he had troubles in his earlier years. He tried to walk a different path, to leave the baggage behind. But it is never that easy. He needed help. And we will never know if anyone ever tried hard enough. So imagine your friend who has been struggling with issues - maybe money related. A friend of mine once said that “famous people have a tough life, they always die of overdoses or something horrible”. And it’s true: even the rich and famous have issues. So why do we ...

Music: The Influence of

People often ask what your favourite type of music is, and many of us can answer with a specific genre or artist. I can’t. And I know of others who can’t as well. But why? Isn’t it simple to pick? It’s not life or death. Music can’t possibly have such a big influence that someone needs to choose. It’s “not that deep”. Or is it? Well, maybe you should think about the music you like. There are different songs for different days. What do you listen to when you’re in need of a boost? What about when you’re in a place filled with sadness and want something to relate to? So then, is music really not that influential? When we listen to music, we allow the words to sink into our minds. Yes, there is the beat which has become more important than it used to be. Lyrics aren’t what makes a song anymore. We have artists saying words which are sometimes nonsensical. But those words enter our subconscious and can provoke certain thoughts. You aren't just singing the words, there is something deep...
