Sheronisa
My name is Sheronisa Sibanda, the 2nd of six siblings, a daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandma to some depending on the relative rank lol. I have survived the me too saga, single parenthood, slow dreams, a broken heart and still I rise. I am an overthinker, procrastinator and curious creative. I love photography, dancing, and a dress up function. Family, love, and loyalty are at the core of my values.

Courage. It’s so intangible. It’s very nature is that you need to ‘have’ it when you least feel like it. You only realise you had it after the fact. Like looking back and realising “ok, that was courageous”. But in the moment? Can you really say I’m being courageous now? I think courage shows up as a choice, like the saying “choose courage over comfort” or “choose courage over fear”. This helps me understand courage and make it practical.

Our lives are lived on two pages, “what I have” and what “I don’t have”. It is easy for us to look at the “I don’t have page” because that is how we are, as egocentric beings. We are always asking for what we want. I had to unlearn being in need all the time so that I can be grateful for what is already in my possession.

It is in the challenging times we learn most, that we become wiser and that our true character shows up. In life you get choices and ultimately your choices make you.

….in this world, there’ll be always someone who will have more means than you, who will be better at something than you, who will be smarter than you, who will be more beautiful, there’ll always be more this and that, BUT that doesn’t mean that you are not enough, in the same way that these uneven fingers cohabitate harmoniously on my hand, so should you engage with the world, in a way that says you are enough.

Life will always throw you curveballs and challenges. I truly believe we have been put on this Earth to learn from lessons. If we do not learn from those lessons, they will repeat themselves in our lives. So my journey to enough has taught me to embrace the lessons being thrown at me but to always be conscious of who I am, and what makes me great.

There is so much I would want to say to a younger Mariska, but if I could tell her just 1 thing it would be that she is her own person, that she brings her own value to any relationship, job, project or situation, and to never doubt that. I would encourage her to trust that her journey will lead her to where she has to be, and to focus on being enough in the moment rather than stress about where that is, or how to get there.
