What are my plans for the year?

-
Hello Intraordinary Family!

Happy New Year! I say this both as a greeting and a declaration that at the end of this year, we will conclude that it has been one that has brought us happiness.
2018 started with a lot of anticipation of good things to come for some of us; some of us may also have felt a bit indifferent before and after the stroke of midnight. Feeling non-chalant peharps with a slight bit of hope that all things work well for our good.

To be honest, I am of the former thought and of the latter thought. I am totally in expectation of great things but I am also somehow indifferent because I feel that these great things happening depend on my thoughts, decisions, confessions, actions and attitudes...and to be honest, I don’t have these on lock. Over the years, I have also not always taken the right decisions.

So today someone asked me, “What are your plans for the year?” To which I responded 
“I don’t have plans, I have goals”
You know why, because I am done planning for things which don’t end up happening and often times have no idea what I aim to do with these plans in the long term. 
On the other hand, I choose goals because there is a target right there ⛳️ - a fixed point which you aim your shot at. I suppose what I am trying to say is that, I choose to work on what I have and make it better, rather than start a whole new project. You feel me?

So I’m going to let you in on my goals for 2018:
  • Family
  • Friendships
  • Self-confidence
  • Spiritual development 

(Presented in no particular order of importance - It’s all good)

These are the things I have been thinking need to be worked on for the longest time but with little progress in actually working on them. These are my goals - one more than hat trick - the creme de la creme of my life. The substance in my life... and when I do hit these goals, they will become the substance of my life and hopefully, the foundation I can begin to build the life I dream about - upon.


Thank you for sticking with me through 2016 and beyond...

Till next time,

Happy Living
Claudy xoxo

Being Extraordinary

As promised, here it goes...my eureka moment finally comes into manifestation.  In my last post, I was trying to explain the roots of the name for the blog 'Intraordinary', which is basically made up of the words 'introvert/introversion' and 'extraordinary'. It was purposely coined as the name for this blog to represent the amazing ways of an introvert. If you are an introvert, you would understand what I refer to (hopefully). From my conversations in the past few days, I have come to understand that there might be certain aspects of introversion that 'stand-out' the most.  It's the shyness or quietness part that was attributed to introversion. I really don't want to start going into detail about the subject as I have noticed I am already ...     straying ....                   off ...                            course ... I will try to put together so...

The Practicals of Life

Greetings to you my dear reader, A warm welcome to returning and new visitors to this blog. It's clear to see that I have not posted in a while ...as evidenced by the date of the last blog post before this one. Today, I decided to share my thoughts with you by fire, by force. Okay,so maybe not by fire, force or any extreme means. The sun is out and I'm not sleepy so that was motivation enough. Anyway let's get into the main body of the blog... 'Practicals of life'. I find myself in a place where I'm more willing to exercise intentionality . That is being more of a doer than a sayer, dreamer, thinker what have you. Because of my state of mind and being, I can't but ask myself what I've been doing all these years. What was my state of mind in the past years? What was my motivation and what attitude did I have to life? I figure it wasn't bad. But my life has taken a new orientation; that is a more practical approach to life. I am open to learning and p...

When life gives you lemons...

 Estimated reading time: 3 minutes Hey family 👋 It's been a while. I have been yearning to share something on the blog since I want to keep it alive. It's half way through the year and I am so glad that I finally have something thoughtful to share.  It's been months, weeks, days and hours of contemplating the right message for us. Us meaning both you and I because I actually read my own blog posts to encourage myself. This season's post is not entirely a message from me to you but it's more of a question I wish to explore with you so kindly stick with me and indulge me if you please. Let's get interactive in the comments section below 👇🏽  There is a well-known saying which goes When life gives you lemons, make lemonade  Source: Amazon.com Which in essence means when life throws the bad, bitter and ugly at you, make something good, tasteful and beautiful out of it.  I'm sure you know that one. But is it really that easy to make lemonade when you have the b...
