Dear Reader
My name is Franklin Esau, an ambitious young leader and an optimistic follower. And this is my motivational letter before tackling the next step of the 'Responsible Individual' journey - which I am glad to share with you.
This started off being a task that lead me to forget about sincerity of this journey. I am a student and I was more concerned about formalities than emotional responsiveness or motions. Guess it is a perfect comfort seeming that I went through life with most of my brains, than heart. And this assignment, like the rest of my 'responsible individual' journey, requires heart first of all.
Very few out-reach programmes have such a huge effect on you and by this one have the greatest impact. I became aware of my surroundings and others more than I have ever before. Going back to find the base of my behavioural patterns, reconciling my relationships with my family and a few friends. Many of these patterns needed understanding. In many were my family and friends the source. What I learned was that I dealt incompetent with my challenges that put me so many times on unstable ground. Where I have carried so many of my problems and bad experiences to the front, never resolving them.
Today I have tools that enables me to deal with life's challenges with skill, commitment and passion. And the next step can only broaden my horizon, making the possibilities more endless than before. I like where I am at since the time I have started my 'responsible individual' jounrey. I have never felt this good about anything that I have been a part of. And there is still much more to learn about me and that/those that surrounds me. So the next step is sensible.
What I do know now is that the matters before me and the matters behind, with that which surrounds me, are tiny matters compared to what is within me.
Yours Sincerely
Franklin
