Humility enables us to Learn and Grow in the face of Losses!

Success lies NOT in eliminating challenges or mistakes but in growing through and with them.

1st Peter 5:6-7: Humble yourselves, therefore under Gods almighty hands that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety and burdens unto him because he cares for you.

When people go through certain faces or situations in their life and are humble enough to have clear directions and realistic view of themselves, their vision is usually clear and realistic when facing their mistakes and taking ownership of them as well. The ability to see them clearly sets them up to learn and grow.

Success lies not in eliminating our troubles and mistakes but in growing through with them. Mistakes can be our bestest teacher. Take time reflect on all mistakes in life when things don’t go ahead as planned. Evaluate situation by following these guidelines or question to thoroughly dissect your challenges.

What went wrong?

When did it go wrong?

Where did it go wrong?

Why did it go wrong?

How did I contribute to making it go wrong?

Lessons learnt

How will I apply what I’ve learned in the future?

Humanity is filled with mistakes, Humility allows us to learn from them. I live you with this quote that I stumble across while engaging in this blog as this sits quite well in my journey in this life.

Sometimes binging the right spirits into your working environment can also have a positive impact amongst you and your work collogues. This can also turn a mistake into an opportunity in life.

If we a humble enough, open to life lessons and what offers it has for us, we increase the odds of our success.

Seizing Opportunities!

To give more credibility to my blog as i mentioned about World Ventures (WV) in this blog.

I believe the attainment of clarity and happiness is by TRULY living in the present moment, which makes it easier to obtain what you want in life.

For years I have been battling with so many thoughts running through my head and moments of anxiety which I couldn’t comprehend. Like everyone else, I have big dreams and want to be happy. I don’t want to over think life and what will happen if things don’t go according to plan.

One of the biggest life lessons I have learnt this season is to let go of my past and be excited about my present. Get excited at every opportunity that comes your way! I’ve learnt to grab opportunities even if you don’t think you’re ready – just grab it and you will learn as you go on in the process. You will become more mature, get out of your comfort zone, and meet new people along the way which is another exciting thing .

World ventures came along and struck my attention. I quickly juggled my thoughts, trying to figure whether this could be something I will be doing for the rest of my life. Working and traveling the globe has always been a dream for me and this was the answer to that.

The moment I came to learn what the company is about and the vision behind it, I was amazed and couldn’t believe what I was about to experience in this journey. The size of the opportunity was something I could not comprehend and compare with any of my past employment. It was just too good to let pass by, so I enrolled myself and now make it a point to do this to make my dream come true. Grab the opportunity while I’m at it and learn as I go along. This is the only way I will learn, grow and discover a whole new world.

Amazing how everything happens in life is meant to happen. We tend to get a bit disappointed when things does not go according to our own plans. Well one thing I am most certain about is that God created everyone with a purpose. Maybe that wasn’t meant for you or things didn’t work out because God has something greater. For me, it was my journey with World Ventures (WV)https://communityworker.business.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/wv-family.jpg

Not only is the journey exciting but I get to do it with the right people in the team, build the right mind set, set the right goals and work towards my purpose in life.

Sometimes I am amazed at how I am here right now writing this and the many things that I’m grateful for in different seasons of my life. Sure life can be very unfair sometimes but regret of what you had done in that process will cause your frustration. Instead, acknowledge it, learn from it and move on. Life is all about experiencing new things and sometimes we have to expect the unexpected results which is still fine but remember acknowledge, recognized it and learn from it then move on.

As grateful as I am, I am also blessed to still have both of my parents who I take for granted sometimes. I’m thankful that they are still around, witnessing our ups and downs, how we pick ourselves up and become more mature.

I am also blessed with an amazing group of friends who I’m proud to call family, these were my high school friends, social club friends, friends that I met in different seasons and have huge impact to my growth and self development. My church family and not forgetting working family from the different working sectors/org and some friendships that were created during Uni life and I was blessed to have crossed paths with all of them and making memories along the way.

Life is such that is full of gratitude and all we do is live for the moment.

Stay tuned for more of this exciting journey .

Much love,

Luke.

What is my vision!

My goals in life is to be the most successful person i can ever be in this universe. I’ve grown up learning that setting your goals and working towards archiving that is possible BUT with the right mind set and a right attitude.

First of all thank God for this seasons of my life, you’ve allowed all of this to happen and allowing me to go through the process of whats known to be the most extravagant life is yet to happen.

I feel like this is a new beginning of my journey to life. A journey to full-fill my dream and experience new adventure in a new out with new and exciting opportunities that come my way. I’m forever grateful with a lot of things that have happened over the years, that led me to where i am today. I am in awe with the people i came across in different seasons of my life because they also somehow contributed to my self development growth.

At times I feel like throwing the towel already but I am always reminded that yes, its only natural that we do feel overwhelmed at times like this. We all have purpose to live for in this life time but its within us how bad we want this to make it a reality.

We’re not in control of our destiny but God is. Transfer control to him. Pray and Do what is in your hands to do. Leave the rest with him knowing he will never live nor for sake us under no circumstances or in any other ways.

Luke!

Overlooked at Work? Ask Madeleine — Blanchard LeaderChat

Dear Madeleine, I am a very quiet person, not so much shy as simply quiet. I am interested in people but have almost no need to be interesting to others. Social events aren’t hard for me, except for feeling the expectation from others to be entertaining. My problem at work is that I feel that […]

My First Blog Post

Gratitude over Attitude

Word Gratitude say’s it all. I’m grateful for my life. Life is a journey, Life is a gift, Never forget to enjoy and bask in every moment you’re in. I began a journey where i realized that enough impressing others, enough making time to people that wont return favor, enough making time to people to just make them happy and fitted right into their own agenda. I stop for a moment and THINK why am I doing all of these, Do i do this to just make them happy or to just have that feeling of inclusive into their own agenda without having to miss out on any gathering without any of my knowledge. Right clearly I wasn’t thinking, clearly not thinking that my own happiness matters to this day when i finally realize that people that i gave so much effort, can go extra mile for then they turned to be the worst of them all. I thought THEY were my best friend, a go to person, person i would rely on when i’m in need, that was just a whole messed up of over 3-5 plus years of friendship just thrown-ed back at me. But i am thankful to god for their lives and how they’ve not only impact my life but also put me to realize different characteristics of people in this world. For that i am grateful for this life lessons and thank god for that.

2020 marks another decade of life. I’m most grateful for his love and mercy upon me despite all my failures he still have us wrapped in his arms. New day dawn every single day i make an effort to give back honor and glory. vinaka Turaga.

This year marks a new version of every life styles that i found wasn’t worth keeping. I knew it wasn’t just the right fit, in-case we wanted growth personally and professionally. Growth comes from within and I’ve always found growth through the 3 pillars of life i call Spiritually, Mentally & Physically.

Have a heart of worship. I began the year by reading this book called ''The purpose Driven Life" by Dr. Rick Warren. This was something that change my whole life & clear perceptions to life and every obstacles that's thrown to you. Give yourselves to God, surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes. (Roman 6:13) Heart of worship is simply to surrender, give it all to god and this could be a real compass to great success in life. In today's competitive culture we are taught to never give up or give in so really don't hear much about surrendering. If winning is everything, surrendering is unthinkable. We often talk about winning, succeeding, overcoming & conquering than yielding, submitting, obeying and surrendering to God is the heart of worship.
Setting my goals for the year, learn to have self care spend roughly 1-2 hours on personal reflections, note all failures, learn from it and move on. Have a gratitude journal. Something i learned and heard to have a grateful journal and lists down things i am most grateful for and life lessons. Setting few of my goals for the year is something that has really kept me stern with my decision making process and learn to listen more and critically analysed situation's. Thinking outside of the box and be more creative is an unique personality to have so i'm basically even more excited towards this amazing journey.
Mentally, spending my free time reading books, Books that enlightens's about life about personal development, listening to inspirational speakers (podcasts) that motivates and drives us far than we can ever imagine. That was a change i wouldn't even thought about. I'm grateful i did because, it sure does made a lot of difference when you face different mountains in life.

Bula Re!!

I will not able to do this at all, unless I get the ball rolling just by taking that 1st step, start your own BLOG Luke and blog about what you’re passionate about in your life journeys 🙂

I must admit, I’m overwhelmed and excited starting my own blog.

My name is Luke, i am 31 years of age, love travelling and meeting new people although i sometimes get shy if i don’t get the same vibe but i can adapt at any given moment and opportunities if given.

Why do this?

I thought of this as a learning platform for me as a way to get to talk about what I’m most passionate about; whether it be lifestyles or how i choose to live life by enjoying every given opportunities, explore options and also be open to suggestions as the way to develop and grow.
I chose this also as a way to improve my communication & writing skills be able to tell my own story just as it is.
I also see this as a mode of meaningful interaction where I anticipate benefiting through debates and discussions between peers pursuing different paths in our career journey, growing economically and striving to earn a sustainable income
In this tech era, I will have this as a talanoa (story telling) platform to share my stories and invite views or experiences of similar

I have a passion in conservation works and management of best possible Marine Conservation practices. This is especially at the level of rural communities and addressing global issues like Climate Change and Food Security at a local level. At same time, I hope to empower women and promote gender balance as an important aspect of Marine and Fisheries works. My strengths I feel are within community development Projects.

Resonating to the tune of “Love the life you live & live the life you love” as one of my favorite quotes by the legendary Bob Marley.

I just wanna add…. I Love home cooked goodies/ food and pastries especially when they’re made with so much LOVE.

Hanging out and having meaningful casual conversations is another of my things ;)…so Yup you’re welcome to join me with your interesting topics!
