The certainty that I can triumph over any challenge so long as I keep my feet on the ground and surround myself with the appropriate resources and people for support is the gift that I will always keep with me.

During the time that I spent at the Mopane` Leadership Experience Retreat, everything in my life that I've been trying to get rid of or let go of to progress further in my life was eradicated. I had the sensation of being able to look back on my life while I was washing my feet (almost as if I were reigniting a flame), and then I washed those memories away from my body after I had finished.

When asked, ‘what do you desire the most?’, I felt my heart come alive for a moment. I felt like I was going to explode. I had forgotten about the restlessness in my spirit and the need to be free through the pursuit of my most authentic desires, love, and happiness in all aspects of myself as I move forward in the pursuit of the success I require. Covering me in love, which resurrected and refueled all of me so that I could go back to the drawing board and figure out who I am and how I can best fortify and protect my desires amidst the life I live and exist in.
