The Becoming Woman Book Series. Chapter 9: Enjoy Your Life

  • Esther Solomon-Turay

The Becoming Woman Book Series August 2024 presents Chapter 9: Enjoy Your Life in collaboration with Special Guest Speaker; Keeley Stephenson.   FYI: This is our second to last book series of the year! If you have not attended any of our series since we started chapter 1, this one is for you!   “Enjoying your life does not mean you need to have it all together.”   Don’t tell me that you are waiting for specific parts of your life to fall in place before you enjoy your life? I know it can be easy to wait for certain aspects of life to come to fruition first before moving to the next level. “From a relationship or dating/courting perspective, society has made it seem that not being with someone causes you to miss out on many activities of fun and enjoyment. We know there are rich blessings for being in relationships that bring fulfilment and divine purpose; however, as individuals who are constantly evolving with all the noise and opinions of the external, we have to be intentional about how we define our lives to be, and not only by the externals of what we have or haven’t yet accomplished. Most of the desires we are seeking ought to be in alignment with our character and how well we can handle where we are going. Don’t ignore being internally accountable by neglecting your mental and emotional wellbeing at the detriment of keeping up with social trends – dream big; yes! But don’t take shortcuts to rush and feel accomplished.”   Some thoughts you may have considered, pondered and/or reflected on in the past or recently can consist of the following:   -       Being in a relationship is my top priority – this is what makes me feel valued in society -       Until I get that full time-job with the lucrative salary, that’s when I’ll intentionally enjoy my life! -       Until I get married, have kids and buy a house, I’ll be complete! -       External influences have made me vulnerable to love again, so I choose to be by myself – me, myself and I It is important that we learn how to live the life that is already in front of us and embrace what is to come. There are distractions one way or the other, but as individuals on the journey to becoming, you have to be intentional about what you let in your mind and what we speak.   In collaboration with Guest Speaker, Keeley Stephenson, we will be hosting our tenth book series on The Becoming Woman, focusing on Chapter 9: Enjoy your Life. The chapter includes real experiences and contributions from our dear speaker; Keeley on what it means to enjoy life and the different perspectives it has on our society at present. For women and men desiring to be in a relationship, the question to ask yourself is how are you learning how to embrace the season of independence and being accomplished in your own lane rather than waiting for life to be the way you thought it would be. What is crucial to consider in this current season of life is how we can enjoy this present moment and its teachings.
