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

My To-Be List for age 30 and beyond

My birthday is coming up soon. And for me I often see birthdays as an opportunity to reflect, review and set some new goals. Basically birthdays are like my version of New Year's resolutions.  Very soon (next year) I will be turning the big 30, And I still have a lot of things I want to accomplish, to tighten up and to break down ... especially insecurities. As you read my list, you'll notice that these are mostly mental habits or personal behaviours as opposed to physical habits. I was going to make a list of 30 things but I realised that would take too much time to read and would even take too much time to write in the first place. Here are a list of 10 things I would like to apply in my life on a daily basis (or as frequently as possible) by age 30 and beyond. 1. Read . I am a very slow reader. I mean 🐌 kind of slow. This makes me not enjoy reading so much. In fact, I think I can only usually manage reading for 20 minutes, afterwards I lose interest and switch on YouTube. S

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 something soon, but for now back to "Being Extraordinary". For this moment, I put asi

Dear Singleton...Part 1

Don't compromise. Estimated reading time: 3 minutes As I sit here in my usual writing spot, I am happy that I have FINALLY been able to put "pen to paper" to write this blog. It's been on my mind for so long and damn if only I had written this when inspiration was at it's peak, it would have been a really good blog post. But regardless, here we are 3 weeks after, finally doing this, so let's go! As you may have noticed, I always begin my blog post with a quote. This one here is secretly my favourite Bible quote but I always say I don't really have one when asked that question. Daughters of Jerusalem [Replace that with S isters, friends, girlfriends ], I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. Song of Solomon 8:4 Precisely 28 days ago, I was flattered by the thought that I might have met someone...you know...for a potential romantic relationship. But as life will have it, time always tells.
