Taking three leadership courses and three trips to the mainland in the span of five months is crazy. What’s even more insane is that I also signed up for two more courses that’ll take place next year.

I must admit, paying for three trips and five courses can be overwhelming at times. Especially when I receive my monthly credit card statements, but it’s worth every penny.

It’s hard to explain what I actually did in these leadership and personal development courses. But what I can tell you is that the experience has been life changing.

It has transformed my thinking, provided me with clarity and strengthened what I value in life. I am able to communicate differently and have healthier relationships with people who are just as worthy as me.

The networking opportunity has been unbelievable and the souls who crossed my path are unforgettable. I have learned from them and they have learned from me.

You can call it magic or joke around and say I’ve been to la-la land but the work begins with me. I choose in. I choose to live a happier and more meaningful life.
