When you decide to make a big change in your life, one thing you can be sure o its that there will be challenges along the way, that throws you out of your comfort zone. There is no option to avoid challenges, so either learn to face them or give up.

Managing change is not easy, it becomes usually traumatic, and therefore hinders the process of self growth. My whole life I exactly knew where I want to be and what to do in order to get there,  until I didn’t. it was the first time in my life that moment and I was rudderless.  It affected me physically, emotionally and it took me on a self exploratory journey.
