What has shaped my life positively.
Looking back on my life ,I have many people and experiences that have played a pivotal role in my life . I choose to only focus on the aspects that inspired me and helped me develop positively as a person .
When I look at where I am in my life , I realise that everything I have is by the grace of God . I am grateful that I had an encounter with the Lord at an early stage in my life .
This definitely laid the foundation for the many experiences I have had thus far .
Even though I am a mother of two boys and that I have my own family to focus on . I realise that my parents had the most positive influence on my life .They value education and even though they were never afforded the oppurtunity to attend a tertiary institution , they made me understand that I could only prepare myself for a better future through education .
As a teenager there were times when I felt that they pushed me into studying and that I could have been working to earn money . I'd see my friends driving beautiful cars and be envious .
However ,as an adult I have realised that their " pushing " has helped me to start planning the life that I desire.
Their planning and determination contributed to me having a headstart in life .Things could so easily have been different.
What Ive learnt is that we need to value our parents . It is not always about the material things that we can get from them but about inspiration , ideas and mostly love.
The inspiration they have been to me as their child , has shaped me into giving my children that same motivation .
