The recovery story begins

The recovery story begins

My name is Moeketsi, I wanted to start this initiative because I have
had something on my heart for the longest time now and honestly, I
was too scared to do anything about it because I was afraid people
would label and judge me. I was afraid of the feedback I
would get from others but I realise that while I silently worry about
others opinions and keeping quiet hoping no one would judge or
reject me, this happened regardless so what was the point? Don’t get
me wrong, does this now mean I am now immune to this? I honestly wish it was like a switch but isn’t, but I won’t let this immobilise me and prevent me from moving forward. Now the question may be what is this thing
that I feel is so important that I am willing to risk my sanity over? “I
want to live my life my way and I want each and every one of us to
live fulfilled lives”. I don’t necessarily want to change the world I just
want to change how we interact with ourselves and others and
ultimately how we interact with the world, this is my dream: to be
the best in the world but the best version of me in the world.

I woke up one day and realised that I, just like everyone have gone 
through the most. This realisation did not come through intense
introspection or anything miraculous like that but primarily through
understanding that I was tired of being tired, tired of being scared. I
wanted to be able to wake up for once and not be scared,
apprehensive, angry or holding onto offense.

This is why Recovered Days exists, I named it this because I
realised that in all of this that I had lost a lot of time and days
holding onto situations, events and even to people even though at times were valid, these did not serve me in my life. Being afraid to do the things I knew would make me happy, being afraid of holding on or letting go because I never believed in my own strength when it was dark and yes sometimes letting my pain influence my trust in those who truly deserved my faith and trust. I will be using those experiencing to recover the time I have lost by living my best version of my life possible. I acknowledge that this might not always be rosy but I will press on and I want to invite you on this journey.

Now while I say this, have I figured out how this will all work? No I
haven’t. But while I may not know exactly how I will be achieving
this, I had to make the decision to start the process and my first step
was exactly that: a conscious decision. Each week I will be looking at
and sharing a personal lesson and please free to let me know what
your experiences have been and we can truly grow into the best
versions of ourselves.

I want to invite you to walk with me and invite me to walk with you
and I do believe together we can figure this thing called life out step
by step and make meaningful progress, might not look positive at
times but is not worth the try?
