Day 1071: Becoming a better version of me

“No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you’ve come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.” ― Madonna

 

It’s 1  : 09  PM on day 1071 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  pray, brush my teeth, feed myself boiled egg and Bran Flakes  for breakfast, read 1 Samuel 4 and 1 Samuel 5, publish my Disability of the Day feature,   tweet and Facebook about my campaign – no one made a donation so far today – practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles and stretch my hamstrings – now that my infection is gone my right leg is less stiff (thank you God).

 

Yesterday at church talking about signs of Christian maturity the reverend said I’m paraphrasing those who are maturing as Christians have fruits of the spirit they are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control whereas those who are not maturing as Christians are filled with jealousy, hatred, anger and the like I went down the list of things that point to the fact that one is not a mature Christian and realized I’m a really jealous human being when I see someone doing something I struggle to do with ease I feel pangs of jealousy I have to work on that I hate being jealous.   Do you try to become a better version of yourself every day?

Day 754

Everybody has flaws – that’s what I keep learning 🙂

It’s 4 : 46 PM on day 754 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a peanut butter sandwich  for breakfast, drink water by myself, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  practice typing with both hands, stretch my hamstrings – I spent about two hours stretching which is the longest I’ve ever exercised (SO PROUD of myself) – and feed myself rice and curry for lunch.

This morning my parents were helping my sister with her bursary applications (she’s going to university next year) and I couldn’t help but feel a little jealous my parents expect so much from my siblings and so little from me when people ask my parents about their kids they totally skip me and start talking about my sister and brother who can blame them my daughter is going to be a doctor is more impressive than my  daughter is a social media manager/blogger/philanthropist (when people hear or see your name attached to the word philanthropist they run far and they run fast because they’re afraid you’ll ask them for their money or their time it’s quite funny to watch LOL) whatever I have decided not to be jealous of anyone anymore my parents may never see all that I do but I do and more importantly God does. Do you acknowledge your flaws and try to do something about them?

I LOVE hearing from you feel free to leave a comment below.
