Hello everyone!!! The hive-ghana community keeps giving us amazing topics to write about, not just amazing but topics that enable you to reflect on yourself, now this week's topic isn't an exception to that.
Life itself is full of ups and downs, often leading us down paths we never expected, taking a walk down my memory lane line I remember how being a child can be easy cause I get to create this perfect image in my head of how my lives will turn out, I have every achievement attached to every age I clock, I would imagine myself being a chartered accountant walking to the office on my beautiful heels, but then as I grow older I get to understand the thing called reality after imagining all the flawless things then I open my eyes and boom reality steps in and reminds me all these will remain in my heads if I don't put in the necessary work needed.

Glad I get to reminisce and reflect on what I've been able to achieve so far, two years back where was I? Due to all the conditioning during university, my youth service, and early work life, I lost track of my plans of becoming chartered, I was clueless about what I wanted, I didn't have a plan for myself, I just wanted things to fall in place without putting in the effort, I was just "okay" living inside the shell and it took me quite some time to discover and reconnect to those dreams I had, then the memories from my childhood dreams popped in my head again, thought to myself "these dreams are achievable" then I realized that my current life isn't mine anymore cause I wasn't doing what I genuinely wanted for myself and the way I wanted to live.
My current life journey was marked by the gradual realization that my paths then didn't align with what I truly desire, after realizing this every single step I take and decision I make is to move closer to embracing the life I've envisioned.
My plan from two years ago is tallying with my current life cause I've been able to achieve certain things I thought I couldn't back then, the little accomplishments I've attained so far matter but what matters the most is knowing that I'm on the right path to attaining my dream life that is driven by purpose and aspirations. As I go further there are things that I feel are still missing, such as getting my professional certificate in becoming a chartered accountant, which I have to enroll myself for the next diet in November, I intend to save up a certain amount of money before then so after the enrollment I will pay for the courses I'll be taking cause each course is accompanied with money, so if I'm to take five-course I should be able to have the money to cover the five courses.
Currently, I'm yet to reach the exact destination I want to but then I'm living half the life I envisioned and I'm grateful for that, looking back I realize I've attained a shift in my life and growth, every little thing I achieved is a stepping stone to my dream life, and it means I'm getting closer to the big thing. My life looks quite good and there are not many things I could complain about cause I never expected my life would turn out the way it is right now.
