TRUST THE PROCESS



When I was younger, much younger I wanted to be a doctor. I thought being a doctor was so cool (I still think it's cool 😉), getting to wear a white lab coat all day, with your earpiece (stethoscope) around your neck, walking around looking so smart and everything. I had to be a doctor! It wasn't until I got to junior secondary school that I realised that science wasn't for me. I didn't like the work that came with science plus I didn't like the fact that I had to spend a large chunk of my youth learning it. So I switched.



I decided the next best thing was to become a lawyer. I mean, people said I argue alot and some even go as far as calling me a lawyer (they still do 😅). So I thought to myself, that's great, let's do that instead. When I got to JSS3 (9th grade) I realised how much I hated reading. Most of the literature texts we were made to read were boring to me. To make matters worse, I found out that studying law was less speaking and more reading. Well, that's not what I signed up for. So I quietly vectored away.

Today, I'm studying a combination of 2 subjects that I really like and even though on some days I feel like dropping out of school for the obvious reason (I hate school), on other days, I enjoy what I'm doing with my life.

In a couple of months, I'd be done with the easiest part of my journey, then I'd come face to face with LIFE, the real one, not the one I've been living since 😅. I don't have any 9 point agenda, I don't have a very specific 10-15 year-plan but I won't fail the test.


It's going to be a combination of next stepssss that I have to be brave enough to take. But you know what? 👇


I'm going to have the time of my life figuring out the next move. It's not going to be because I've not discovered my purpose or because I've not found salvation or anything like that. I'm just willing to trust the process. I'm willing to make plans for the next week, the next month and the next couple of months. I'm also aware that one thing could happen and disrupt all my plans. At that point, I'm willing to throw away all my previous plans and start all over again no matter how scary it may be.


There's no rush. The process is going to be slow but I have to be willing to go through the sometimes gruesome process. I have to be willing to trust the process and know that my best is yet to come.



I'm not giving any suggestions in this piece. I've told you exactly what I'm going to do. The question now is, what are you going to do? 😏

I'M MOVING TO AUSTRALIA 🥳🎉🎉

I’m moving…. AGAIN? Call me Kwaku the traveller cos I do be travelling… but not this time. I’m actually moving. By now, most (if not everyone) reading this blog knows I've moved to Sydney, Australia. When I first posted about arriving in Australia on WhatsApp, I think some people thought I was just visiting Australia because I have been travelling A LOT this year. In just 9 months of this year, I've been to 6 countries, including Singapore and Australia, which is A LOT! If you didn't already figure it out, the reason I was travelling like a headless chicken in summer was because I sorta knew I was leaving the UK. So I wanted to get the most out of that location proximity and visa while I could. Few people fully understand how and why I made the move, and posting this on Twitter revealed this very jarringly. Especially since the tweet referenced me having worked in Cairo, London and now Sydney all by the --- very ripe (I quickly rued my choice of "very ripe age" a...

A LUNCH TO REMEMBER

I'm writing this blog on Sunday, the 26th of May, 2024. On Wednesday, I posted about this incredible lunch I had that I was going to share the details of on my WhatsApp status but never got around to writing down the story. To truly “immortalize” this experience, I’ve decided to also share this story on my blog. Here's the story. Let’s start at the beginning. My industry friend invited me to this steak lunch at a restaurant called Bistecca.  All I knew about the restaurant was the name. I typed in the details on Google Maps and walked from my office. When I was 1 minute away, I thought a building I saw in the distance was the restaurant, but when I got closer, I realized it wasn’t it. I looked around, trying to find said restaurant while simultaneously swearing for Google Maps; after all, this wouldn't be the 1st time Google Maps had led me astray. Remember my Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very bad day ? Yeah, that was all proudly sponsored by Google Maps. While looking arou...

CUSTOMER SERVICE

Recently, I decided to open an account with one of the most reliable banks I know because the bank I currently use is not particularly good. On that day, my friend and I went with the required documents to the branch that's located in my school. Since it's a small branch, there was only one desk officer and if you're familiar with the procedure for opening an account, the bank usually needs a copy of some documents that you can't give them the original to, e.g. international passport, student ID. Since the desk officer couldn't leave his station to make photocopies of these documents, he had to get the security guard to do the work for him. The security guy came with so much attitude to him. At first, he accused us of forging documents because one of the original documents we brought wasn't "printed in color", next he couldn't find my passport that I already gave to him so he started shouting at me as if I would steal my own passport . After a f...
