I have undergone different experiences throughout the week based on the different feelings, events, and activities that I carried out during this period. These include insights, discoveries, and feelings related to my behavior, emotions, self-concepts, and daily inspirations. The experiences had an impact on my life both positively and negatively. The current paper presents my reflections based on the one-week journal entry on 10th March 2021.
I woke up on Wednesday with so much in mind. One of the most significant things that makes a person is fulfilling their dreams. One of these was my dream of graduating with a considerable number of pints required for employment. I have learned that these must be coupled with belief and dedication while prayer to God also taking the lead. We all have bad and negative moments. Coming together with friends to engage in activities like bible study is essential in life. Spending some time with fellow believers helps in lifting us a little bit. I realized that it helps us lift our eyes to God, and God can also use their colleagues to help us and provide something that may be important during the time of need.

Furthermore, I have realized that having an internal conversation while left alone is critical in an individual’s life. It is part of what makes us human. Specifically, it allows us to reason and thinks deeply about our situation. However, like any other mental exercise or practice, one may need more time to learn how to listen to their inner self. It may not be accessible at the beginning. However, it will be easier with more practice. Most importantly, I have realized that having an internal conversation is essential since it lets one know who they are.
Knowing who I am is a little bit better. It allows me to love myself more every day. The fact that we are all very busy with our lives and having no time to grow is a little bit sad. I have found that spending one or two hours by myself or for yourself is not enough. Sometimes, it needs more than five hours to contemplate, reflecting on the feelings, or exploring the various tentative darkness zone within oneself. It is within the dark zone that the most beautiful part of ourselves is hiding. There is nothing like it within the real world for us to compare it to be known as natural. The attainment of a dream is not an easy task. The earlier, the better.
I also learned a lot from doing a presentation on a topic with which I was not familiar. I knew that confidence helps one feel ready for any experience in life. One is more likely to move forward with individuals and opportunities when confident in whatever they are doing. If things do not work out well on the first attempt, the confidence will make us try again. However, having low confidence will always be accompanied by fear. In that instance, one cannot try their second chance after failing the first attempt. After the class members and the lecturer congratulated me, I felt more confident. I learned that one must believe in their ability to feel convinced truly. I felt even better than on my first day of presentation since I knew I could do what I decided to do regardless of fear. I can overcome my fear of self and do what is required of me at any given time. At least I now know that I must trust in myself for anything that I want to do.
Furthermore, it is essential to make specific, measurable, attainable, and timely goals regarding physical fitness. I had set my SMART goals to help me increase my physical activities each day. The aim was to feel better about me and have a clear mind to help me improve in my studies in school. However, I did not do well regarding physical wellness. I had the challenge of forcing myself to walk home from school while my fellow students took a taxi from school. That is the reason I had to walk from school going home. Whenever I make such SMART goals in my life, there must be some changes that need to be faced and overcome. Besides, I do not need to do some things because others are doing. I need to be confident in whatever I do such that I attain such goals.
Emotionally, I have been told that love hurts, but I think they are wrong. They told me that the best thing would never last, but I also think they are wrong. I have also been told that I am weak. But I think they are wrong. Love does not have an end. Love is being flexible, robust and it is also a balance of life. I am currently brimming with love. I feel it flowing within and out of me. Love is my companion, and I am my source of love. It is through love that I usually heal from having a negative experience. Through love, my spirit persists, and I can sermon a greater strength. Through love, which is in me, I merge with better souls and find new paths in life. I see a forgotten love that was hidden under the stone within the spares between green leaves. That is how I feel and believe in love, and I have never told anybody about it. I value loving people around me, even if I usually get hatred back from some of them. Love dances through the beams of the sun, and it also diffuses softly through the moonlights. I cherish love. One must always open their hands if one needs to be held. It means you must be ready to love others to get loved by them in return.
Another important discovery throughout the week is the importance of trusting my gut instinct or intuition. It is the immediate understanding of something that the mind cannot relate to. There is no need to think about a particular situation or an opinion. You know it through intuition. It arises as a feeling within the body, and it is only you who can experience it. Due to that, trusting one’s intuition is the ultimate4 act of trusting yourself, and listening to it helps avoid unhealthy relationship situations. However, I also noted that it is not easy to trust your gut instinct, especially when some habits are pulling us firmly in the opposite direction.
Hiking activity also came with critical lessons and experiences in my life. The climb was an experience that helped in building character. I had an opportunity to think a lot while climbing up the hill. The similarity between climbing such a hill and going through the life hurdles is one of the most significant thoughts that came to my mind. While moving my foot from one step to the next, I reflected on the relationship between that thought and motion to overcome the life difficulties we experience today. Besides, climbing the hill symbolizes the ups and downs that we meet in life. It is a journey to the top, a race of motivation, strength, and patience. The best feeling is when reaching the top of the mountain. That is when one achieves their life goal for which they worked hard towards. It also means that after climbing one particular heal, there is always another one. Just like in our lives, we set our goals and work towards a specific purpose.
In conclusion, I have learned several lessons from the one-week dairy entry. Although most of these are important lessons, some have helped me identify my weakness from the areas that I will need to adjust. Besides, I don’t need to live a parallel world within my mind and in the world. I need to blend the hypothetical self-contained plan, and that co-exists with my real world. I would look for where the waves meet the show if my thoughts and dreams were an ocean. That is because that is where my dreams can meet my reality. I want to surgically slice my thoughts such that the extra thoughts melt away, and I only remain with the skeleton of practical hope. In that, I will be able to attain my academic dreams.
