Do you know who you are ? 

Do you know what you're about?  


        Once upon a time I would take what others told me about myself as my reality, not fully 

understanding myself for who I am. My likes, my interest, and my desires were all based on what others 

told me about myself or what they would consider to be within the normative pattern of society for me to do. 

 It wasn't until much further on in my years of development (teenage years) exiting primary school to High 

school is where it all began for me. I hope that you're not misinterpreting my story but that you are on par 

with it. When I say it is "where it all began for me", I mean that I am now amongst peers from different 

backgrounds and who have different experiences. Now being in a new school environment with a little 

more freedom than primary days might have been just what I needed at that time to explore my interests. 

You can imagine, I joined a lot of clubs that I did not know  about before high school, went on field trips 

that would not be allow at the primary level and I was even introduced to new subjects that would later 

had an impact on my next step towards my career.

Fast Forward to the year 2020 when I took a self development course that helped me to have an even 

deeper understanding of myself , this course has help me in several ways because it forced me to face 

myself address the things that I would consider to be my weakness and my strengths. 


However, you don't need all of that to understand yourself. That was my own unique experience. 

It can be way easier than you think. There are many straggles that you can use to get to understand 

yourself better. Here are few ways that you can do so...

Try to explore new things that you haven't tried before, maybe you have never been to the beach, add it to 

your schedule go and experience it. 

Here's another one, the next time you have a conflict to deal with analyze how you handle that situation

and you will see your true character. 

also, signing up for a self development course is very beneficial, and it can be more effective than the other options.

Creating The Best You

 You are Creators  By Jason Grant The flowers of the garden are so graceful, they know their time and season.  A time to light up and blossom colorfully into a beautiful flower, emanating sweet fragrances, and then a season to whither with dried brown leaves and return to the earth. Some human beings are completely different from the flowers of the garden. We find it hard to transition into our next season especially if we're in a season of stagnation, prosperity may seem far fetched. This fear of transition is completely natural because you're leaving a place of familiarity to a new setting. It is said that our comfort zone might be hard to leave because of complacency. When you become complacent you are planted and you see growth or development as a hard task. On December 31, 2015, I decided that I wanted something different for 2016, I decided that who I was in that moment wasn't all that I could so I decided to start my journey to self-development in that year. Self-d...

How to make a team work!

                                                             By: Jason Grant Working with a team can be quite an experience, but working with the right team will help you to be more open when working with others. Teams have a tendency to work well when there is no personality clash. Grouping a set of people together may not always be ideal, just because some people tend to cause ruption. People always have a hard time determining the leader of a group, this is because of the same problem "Personality" it varies from one to the next and even though a leadership will be assigned group members can share in leadership roles, this is how teams play. Creating teamness does not only fall on the shoulders of the leader, as teammates form part of the group. They can create some form of friendship while working together. In...
