Day 2361: Honesty, Being Uncomfortable and My Moment of Character

1 Reply

Be honest even when it’s uncomfortable – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 11  :  33 AM on day 2361 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Philippians 2:3  and learn a new word – Definitions for malfeasance
1. Law. the performance by a public official of an act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law; wrongdoing (used especially of an act in violation of a public trust).

 

A few days ago somebody asked me about the books she had given me a few weeks ago and although it made me uncomfortable in the moment I answered honestly and rather sheepishly I donated one of them to the library (I knew I was never going to read it because books about history aren’t really my thing so I donated it to the library) I am so proud that I didn’t lie my way out of discomfort that was one of my moments of character.

Get comfortable with the uncomfortable– that’s my message to myself and the world.

 

It’s 12: 32 PM on day 1950 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Galatians 3, learn one new thing –While he may have made peanut butter, the preparation arose in other cultures independently. The Aztecs were known to have made it from ground peanuts in the 15th century, and Marcellus Gilmore Edson was awarded U.S. Patent 306,727 (for its manufacture) in 1884, when Carver was 20.– have breakfast and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign –  yesterday David Boutin donated $25 and (thanks SO MUCH  David your support means A LOT :) )  which brings my total raised to $780 only $5 470 more to raise in 359 days (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far. It’s really humbling that people from everywhere are choosing to help me reach my goal I’m just a 24-year-old living in a small town in South Africa).

 

Recently I’ve come to the conclusion that oftentimes doing that which makes us slightly uncomfortable gets us the results we want and the life we want. Are you getting comfortable with the uncomfortable?

Day 1605: Embrace the uncomfortable

Leave a reply

To succeed in life you have to embrace the uncomfortable – that’s what I have realized.

 

It’s 12 :  15 PM on day 1605 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  pray,  read Jeremiah 22, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  learn one new thing – Instead of being nocturnal or diurnal, some animals are “crepuscular,” meaning they are primarily active during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk –    promote my Educate Generations campaign– $1 750 raised so far with your help God’s help and yours I know that we can reach the goal of $2 500 in no time -feed myself egg with bread and a banana for breakfast and continue promoting the campaign – $1 750 raised so far so grateful 🙂

 

Yesterday people were making a big deal about the fact that my story was featured on the Malala Fund’s website I appreciate the fact that they were proud of me but I hate being the centre of attention I suppose because I do what I do there are times when I have to be the centre of attention even though I’d much prefer to sit at home and sing along to Taylor Swift songs like nobody’s listening or read a book.

Day 1485: Pursuing the Uncomfortable

Leave a reply

Do that which makes you most uncomfortable it helps you grow as a human being – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 12 : 23 PM on day 1485 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, read Proverbs 23, publish my Disability of the Day feature, stretch my hamstrings, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, feed myself All Bran Flakes with banana  for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign – no donations so far today but my friend, Meg Guegan,  made a donation of $10 yesterday (thank you Meg your support means a lot to me) which brings my total raised to $170 only $2330 more to raise :)

 

A couple of days ago I decided to record a video of myself telling the world about my Educate Generations campaign it was the most uncomfortable one minute and sixteen seconds of my life but now that the video is recorded and uploaded I live in the knowledge that if I can get past my fear of rejection I can do almost anything. Do you shy away from that which makes you uncomfortable or pursue it?
