I feel as if I allowed every ounce of life to be sucked out of my soul. It was as if my body was lying in the middle of a dry kalahari sand dune, and my aspirations kept taunting me like a mirage in the distance...

Thats how cripling a life lived with no passion is. It's a self inflicted pain that leaves one emotionally bankrupt. It leaves one hollow & dry, with no future to look forward to as its the same boring thing every day.

It doesn't last forever. A time comes for everyone to reclaim their voice. A voice that is strength and it's that strength which allows one to be strong enough to rise up and fly.

Justifying evil

We're living in times where evil is rising up in all corners of the globe.Whats caught my attention is that whenever these perpetrators are interviewed after killing innocent lives they have a peace and calmness about them.
They actually look like they've accomplished something greater than themselves. Whats even more disturbing is that some of these terrorist,racists and xenophobics believe that their cruel actions are for the protection of their religion or country.


This is called deceiption,people are believing lies and innocent lives are used as a medium to accomplish these lies.

Al qaeda congratulated the Islamic terrorist group of Somalia for bombing 76 innocent lives. Children will now be drawn into allsorts of social ills while trying to fend for themselves because the breadwinners of their households have now been bombed beyond recognition. How do you justify such evil?

Deceit is alive and powerful,its gone beyond the boundaries of cults, it's now living in the realms of religion and it's removing lives as if they are of no value to anyone.

My second fixation

My fixation-Afro hair..Yes, I find Afro hair really beautiful. From the way it grows, refusing to fall down to the texture of every curled up lock. Natural African hair is unique, matchless and absoutely stunning in my eyes.

Gratitude

A couple of months ago I met a lady at work who was in her late twenties. She was beautiful; married to a great man and shared an adorable baby boy with him.

I personally felt that she was very blessed. However she on the other hand did not see this. Her heart was not at rest, constantly she’d be trying to get what I have, always saying she wishes she had had the opportunities I had, if she could go back in time she’d try and make the choices that I had made.

It got really irritating because I felt like she had a lot to be grateful for, there are starving people in this world and she’s got a job and husband that takes care of her. So many children are born with autism and other illnesses, she could be grateful that she has a baby that’s healthy and many couples are struggling to just have a baby. However she was constantly looking at what I have. It got annoying cause it’s not like I’m this rich person born into millions, I’ve also had my fare share of struggles in life, I’ve also made some bad choices along the way. The thing is I just don’t see the need to advertise the bad decisions I’ve made or the low times I’ve been through because if I hadn’t gone through it, I wouldn’t know what I now know about life, I’m still alive and it’s all made me a stronger person. Plus it’s nothing compared to what other people have had to face in this world. I know that there is always someone going through something worse.

If you’re always looking at people’s lives, what they have, what you have to get because they have it. Trust me on this; you’ll always be unhappy. Rather concentrate on what you have, the little and big things that God has given you. The fact that you have a bed is something that you should be grateful for, if you have all your limbs, that’s also something to be grateful for. When you focus on what you have rather then what others have, you’ll live a life filled with an abundance of joy.

Shattered dreams

Have you ever tried something new and you had faith that this was what God wanted you to do with your life?




Maybe you started your own business, or maybe left a job in order to pursue a living using your God given artistic talent.



You took so many risks only to be met by many obstacles. You then began to wonder if you made the right decision.



I know of many people, who went through this, they pursued a dream they had long suppressed... they then reached a dead end, they began to question God and themselves, people began to discourage them in the decision they’d made.



I’ve seen so many people leave a job because the money “aint good” They then moved to a new company or change careers only to be met by a set of new obstacles. They then went back to their previous job or career.



If your motivation for changing your profession is money, trust me, chances are you’ll be changing jobs for the rest of your life.



However pursuing your passion will allow you to carry on your journey even when the storms draw close. You’ll work hard, not because you’re required to, but you’ll do so as you love what you doing. As a result you will be successful because your love, devotion and passion will be evident in the work you produce.



So never give in to temporary obstacles, nothing lasts forever. They’ll be gone tomorrow. Keeping on going, because when you get there it won’t matter how long you took. All that will matter is that you’re there.

Vintage song for May

“Never forget you” by Mariah Carey is the vintage song for May.

Isn’t it crazy how a song can change one’s mood? That’s what this song did to me. When I experienced my very first heart break as a teenager, this is the song I absolutely detested. Reason being is that whenever it used to start playing, in an instant, all the emotions that I’d been trying to bury would all come flooding into my heart again .Hurt, pain and betrayal. But now that I’m a bit older and have control over my emotions, I absolutely love this song.



“ Never forget you” by Mariah Carey

I won't see your smile, And I won't hear you Laugh anymore, Every night I won't see you
Walk through that door 'Cause time wasn't on Your side ,It isn't right , I can't say I love you It's too late to
Tell you But I really need You to know


No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby


Baby can you hear me, Wherever you May be tonight ,Are you near me I need you to be by My side
Cause I never said Goodbye ,It isn't right ,I should have said I love you
Why didn't I just Tell you ,God knows I need You to know


No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby


Somewhere I know you'll be
With me
Someday in another time
But right now you're gone
You just vanished away
But I'll never leave
You behind

No, I'll never forget you
I'll never let you out of my heart
You will always be here with me
I'll hold on to the memories baby

Breathing Love

When you're in love with some one you  want to be with them every waking moment. However in order for love to grow and flourish, it needs space to breath by itself.

Give the one you love the space to allow them to breath and grow without you by their side. We want to be with them to help them in life, however this disables them and they end up not being able to do things on their own.

Step away, just for a while, get to know yourself, who you are without them. By doing this you're
Giving them time to hear their own air fill up their lungs...give them space to breath.
