Blueprint to The Bedazzled Life (Part 1)

Growing up, I used to think I could be only one thing. In fact, this was what was modelled by most of society.

This shaped my mindset and belief system and impacted my choices in no small way.

I would tell myself things like: "I am a career person, doing business is not my thing or I am not wired to be an entrepreneur."

With this self-limiting belief, I blocked every possibility of being an entrepreneur, including having ideas or a vision worth pursuing. I negotiated myself out of a certain kind of life.

I was only going to focus on my career, grow through the ranks and retire when it's time.

Yes, I was doing well in my career in finance, and had really big ambitions, but something was still missing. Some things within me needed an outlet that my career box couldn’t accommodate.

In more recent years, I encountered two powerful women – Debola Deji-Kurunmi and Olajumoke Adenowo.

Their lives bore an exact semblance to what my heart desired – the multi-influential life. I call it the Bedazzled life.

For the first time, I saw that I could be more than one thing, and I had too much potential to be boxed into one mode of being.

I have since given myself permission to BE and realised that my happiness and fulfilment levels have increased. I haven’t attained the heights possible, but I am on an exciting journey to fully express all that I can be within the time given to me.

If you are reading this post, and despite having things going well for you, you still feel like there’s more, you need to ask yourself this important question: “What have I suppressed within my soul that is crying out for expression?”

I dare you to find it and let it loose!

Society might call you crazy, confused, or too much! But who cares?

It’s your sole prerogative to pursue meaning and live a life worth living. I hope you choose this less-travelled path. It comes with a lot of resistance but is also highly rewarding.
