Be happy in this moment – that’s enough!

“BE HAPPY IN THIS MOMENT, THAT’S ENOUGH. Each moment is all we need, not more”

Mother Teresa

I’m in South Africa – Cape Town to be precise. We’re here for the whole of January, working remotely, seeing the city, getting to know a new culture.

LIVING THE DREAM! And this is exactly why I do what I do (and don’t work for a corporate company).

Last night I went out out!

And it was truly magical, and in the midst of it all, I had the most surreal moment.

I suddenly thought to myself: “My god, I am in AFRICA, dancing to one of my favourite DJ’s (in his hometown), in a beach club on the ocean with the nicest people who are loving life, and singing every word of this track…how does it get any better than this?!

Is this actually my life?

How did I get here? How have I been so blessed to be able to base myself here for a month, to travel whenever and wherever, and be this free???

For so long I kept myself in one place, telling myself I couldn’t work and travel at the same time. It’s madness to think back.

I find it so easy to forget the journey I’ve been on – the work I’ve put in, at times the struggle, the long hours, the tears, the frustrations when things don’t work…..and then when they do….the ELATION and the joy at how great life can be.

I’ve come so far, and it’s easy to forget where I came from.

I’m learning to be patient, to be slower, and to know that what’s actually important is the EXPERIENCE I’m going through right now, the ups and downs are what makes life exciting.

Enjoy each moment as Mother Teresa says because one day you’ll look back and wished you’d savoured it more. 💖
