Content creator Maureen Waititu has shared some of the life lessons she has learnt to date.
In a long post on her Instagram, the mother of two shared a throwback photo of herself when she was two years old.
Among the things she would tell herself is that the journey wouldn't be easy. It is also okay to fall, make mistakes but always keep your head high as greatness is in her furture.
Read the post;

'I found this old picture of Little two year old Maureen (Edit -yes two years I was a tall girl and so are my sons 🤦🏾‍♀️), with the swag 😂😂a few months ago at my mom’s house.

I’ve been staring at it and I’ve been so emotional realizing what she’s had to fight and endure to become the woman, daughter, friend, sister and mom that she is now.

If I could tell her something today, I’d tell her that the journey wouldn’t be easy but she’d always have a guardian Angel who would give her grace to endure every difficult season and protect her from everything the enemy throws her way.

She added;

I’d also tell her that it’s okay to fall, make mistakes, bend, crush, be unsure, be imperfect, but all in all, that she needs to keep her head head high as she’s meant for greatness and that she has a purpose and duty to her ministry and generations that would see her break every curse and bondage and that she’d carry the blessings meant for them.

I’d tell her that God knew her before she was woven in her mother’s womb, that He is her author and she is who God says she is. Periodt.

What would you tell a younger you?
