There are no right answers at the back of book.

…Summer 2019 was the ultimate test of my relationships, determination and will power. It’s a bittersweet moment realizing this chapter of my life is officially closing today leaving a completely new person on the other-side of this experience.

Let’s rewind a bit. I’ve spent the past summer as a Community Team Member at the Quarter Zero Catapult Incubator — working with over 70 high school entrepreneurs as they strived to launch a venture over the summer and across three major cities. Well, the summer was most interest because I had to learn how to function and smile while going through an emotional journey — waking up some mornings and just wishing I could fade away into my mattress. In all this struggle I was constantly trying to figure out ‘what’s the right way to deal with this’; I searched blogs, reddit threads or even called friends however none of words felt like what I needed to hear.

When all else failed I realized that whether I found the answer or not, I still needed to make a decision. Now I finally hit my moment of epiphany, there are no right answers at the back of the book. Life is a journey of becoming and that process requires trial and error ; and this journey will leave with wounds and scar as your emerge in victory at the end. Our lives are more unique than we think — most times our experiences seem quite similar in form but in substance this is rarely holds. Nobody has walked your shoes the way you did so no-one could tell you the best way to figure things out. But the most important lesson I’ve learnt this summer was —

Trust your gut and enjoy the process of becoming.

Your gut is the sum total of all the experiences you’ve had in your lifetime. Tuning your energy to do what tells you can produce optimum results, most importantly, results you will feel prepared to deal with. At the end of the day results tell you what works and what doesn’t.
