Tumi is a girl who has never been married, never had a job, never had a home of her own, and never paid bills. Tumi is now 25 and needs to get her life in proper order. She can’t just jump into it because she’s a novice, an amateur, a JJC.
Where does Tumi start from?
Marriage??? Internships??? Home purchase or mortgage? Making a few mistakes here and there? Partying all weekend and kissing a few frogs? Taking the first shitty job that comes her way?
I know all these questions seem rather rhetorical and ridiculous. Evidently, Tumi should not do any of those rubbish things. Tumi should take her time to sift through all the men that come her way and choose the candidate that fits her requirements and also suits the criteria for an ideal spouse, perfectly.
Tumi should make friends, network, upskill, and go for her dreams!!! Right? Right?
We all say this when asked about others. You have the best advice for Tumi but what is the best advice for you?
Why are you playing small when you know you should go for gold?
Tumi takes an internship at a job she hates. Tumi marries a man she loves who loves God and her. Tumi scales up to a great role that she loves and finally buys an apartment. Tumi makes some bad choices but she eventually figures her life out and she is still figuring it out.
I know life can be tricky and you don’t always get what you want out of it but that’s why ‘Experience is the best teacher’.
This does not mean you need to experience every single thing in life to have a proper lesson on it. You can spend time with older people. You can listen to Podcasts where great people talk. You can read books about how to get from where you are (Point a) to where you get to shine (Point X).
Stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you. Whether it’s parenting that you want to try or even writing. Don’t go scrambling in the dark. Borrow someone’s torch and burn 🔥 brighter than the stars. You’re made for greatness honey!
Love you Lillahi
Truly, experience is the best teacher.
