Elizabeth Diaries: 24 LESSONS OF LIFE JOURNEY

Hi Elizabeth

I write a letter to you telling you how life at twenty four is really like and it lessons.

Life at mid twenties is very ambitious. Sometimes, you believe in yourself, other times you loose hope and just want to give up. Life at twenty is sometimes shitty and filled with so much mood swings. You are happy at a moment. The next moment, you are sad and want to hang yourself.

At 24, God is everything. I never knew God was powerful until I went through some dark days. Friends left me, He stood by my side, guiding me each passing day, one day at a time.

You won't have everything, that's okay. Contentment is everything. Greed keeps you in wants, contentment gives you the joy and happiness greed couldn't. It's okay to lack. It's definitely not the end. Tomorrow will come.

Love is everything. If you can't love, you are a walking corpse. Love makes pains less. Love heals. Love restores. I gave myself to love and my life changed for good.

I had learnt this late. But it is still okay to try even though it is late. Be consistent at the little good things you do. Be creative with the little things you have. Use what you have to get what you don't have.

Be grateful. Every day, each passing day, be grateful for life. Be happy for the little you have so far.

Your friends will leave you when you start complaining so much. Nobody wants to be around a negative person who complains so much. Solve the problems of your life privately. Don't share it to public.

Take responsibility for your life. Blaming people won't change anything. Taking actions will. Make your decisions and stick to it while waiting it consequences.

You know who truly loves you when everything goes bad.

At 24, I had known that happiness was a choice. Happiness is in your hands. Don't wait for another to make you happy, you may wait till eternity and die of bitterness, sadness and sorrows. Make yourself happy.

I learnt a longtime ago that there is time for everything. Wait your time.

Don't worry about being rich, just read good books, have rich ideas and a good mindset.

One day, a stranger will come to your rescue. Show everyone love and respect on your way up, you will meet them again on your way down.

It pays to mind one's business.

Never depend totally on anyone. They might disappoint you some day.

Humility will make you stand out against the rest. Be humble, but if you can't, so be it. Life always have a way of making us humble.

Heal from every childhood problems. Move on, learn from the past, accept your past. You can't be crying your whole life. Love and happiness finds you when you least expected.

Be authentic, be honest. A fake life pays no one. A fake life won't pay your bills.

Be simple.

Be patient. Take life one day at a time and accept each day the way it comes.

Be flexible to change. Change is a constant thing. Don't be tied down to what you don't like.

Be kind. You might need kindness someday.

Give. Give the little you have. It gives joy.

Respect elders and people older than you. Have good manners.

BY LOVING YOURSELF, YOU LOVE OTHERS

So it's been four months since I started working in a school in Calabar that has forty years of existence. A really old school whose facilities need maintenance. Chairs damaged, laboratory decay and everything in there looks so old. Then I wondered, what am I doing here? And I realized that I needed experience. I wanted to leave home so long as it is for learning. I learned. I saw how mismanagement can cause serious damage to a school. I saw how not treating teachers well or paying them on time could be a danger to school business. Especially changing teachers every time in school or teachers leaving a school due to ill treatment.  By loving yourself, you love others. When you love yourself, it becomes so easy to love others. It becomes easy to love your staff and pay them on time. It becomes so easy to treat people well. Elizabeth Diaries ❤️

Dear Diary, I come with so much to tell. I will tell you everything as I am your faithful girlfriend. Growing up, I had trust issues. I barely trusted my parents, so I couldn't trust anyone. I grew up to see the mess my father's bad friends and company brought us into. My father had many frienemies, not friends. They laughed, smiled, ate with him, squandered his money, but said badly of him at his absence. His friends never loved him, he was only used. His frienemies made decisions for him in his own home. My father never took my mother's advice. He said my mother was an illiterate. So, he clinged to his friends. He wasted half of his wealth on his friends and their dubious lives. My father's weakness was trusting people so much and giving his whole life to them. He never loved us, he gave all his love to strangers and neglected his family. They used him, they blackmailed him, they abused him, they messed him up. We as his family were part of the whole mess. This wa
