Worry Not

I know that it has been a minute since my last blog. Let’s just say that I haven’t been inspired. I have just been feeling so emotionally drained, physically and spiritually tired. If you ask me why, I have no clue. It has been so bad that I didn’t even enjoy the things I’ve always enjoyed doing. I’m talking about reading books or even listening to my music. If i was a musician, i would have written a song about it.

I recently read a letter written by F. Scott Fitzgerald for his 11 year old daughter and let me just say that I’m BACK NIKKAAAAHHHSSS….. I hope you find it as inspiring as i did.

Things to think about:

What am I really aiming at?
How good am I really in comparison to my contemporaries in regard to:

(a) Scholarship
(b) Do I really understand about people and am I able to get along with them?
(c) Am I trying to make my body a useful instrument or am I neglecting it?

With dearest love,
