‘Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment’. Buddha.

I never really understood what it means to live in the here and now. I have learnt to be in a better place, I need to do something positive daily and create my own luck because a better life doesn't happen by chance, it happens by change-Jim Rohn. I also cannot expect a different result, using the same mindset that created my current reality- unknown. I have been making the most out of every moment from reading inspirational messages to spending a sunny day at the park with friends. When you are feeling good, you will be doing good. By keeping my spirit alive through gratitude of what I do have and making the most of it. I know I will stay inspired and motivated regardless what is happening, therefore building a better future. 

I chose to start again in re-educating and reconditioning my mindset to ensure I break free from the burden of the past.  Life is far too short to settle anything less that peace, joy and wellness. I feel free and I am very excited about my future with my daughter because in the words of Steve Pemberton (whom had a challenging start himself and now happily married, successful & a father). ‘Being a parent has corrected every wrong in his life’ and it starts by loving yourself enough to heal and be happy. If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be chasing people who don’t love you- unknown. If you feel better, you’ll want better-Tyrese Gibson.

As the saying goes-If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got. Therefore the only way forward is to recondition my mind through healing and applying new information because I AM a survivor and I refuse to be define by my circumstances. I will redefine it to ensure I am a good role model for my child and of purpose to self and society. I can only achieve this through living and being in the here and now. 

I want to close this with the final thought:

‘The best way to predict the future is to create it’ Unknown.

- By living in the here and now, focusing on what I can do and the present. I have already improved the outcome in whatever my future endeavours.

- I chose to only be living in the here and now because the past has gone, the future has yet begun. By living in the moment I will have already shaped a better tomorrow because my thoughts and actions today will contribute to a better tomorrow.

- I know now my reality today has been shaped by my (lack of) actions in the past- so if I repeat this habit. I know one thing for sure I will only get more or less of the same in the future. #knowledgeispower and is a catalyst for wanting better.

May I wish you every success in your journey to create a better tomorrow. Thank you for reading.

Best wishes

Highly Effective People Strives For Excellence

Hello I hope you enjoyed the last 2 special blog posts about Parentalk and Abuse. I felt it was important for me to use this platform to raise awareness on topics that could make a positive impact on future generations. This week is back to talking about life, inspiration, motivation and ideas-this post was actually inspired by a rather dysfunctional event. Every day we have many distractions, which can keep us from our destiny if we chose to be consumed by it.  Our dreams has to be bigger than our current reality to cause us not to sweat the smaller stuff and that involves letting some things or people go. The difference between effective and not-effective people is how we chose to channel it. Below is how (after the initial annoyance) I done it. Just to put this into context- the individual(s) concerns were unable to take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation. Enjoy...

A book review – Part One - Dealing with Disappointment by John Hindley

This book was a relatively easy read with the simple idea that leaves you to question: is life just one big disappointment?  In many ways it does seem so; the author delves into different areas of disappointment in our lives. I suspect most if not all are relatable to everyone. Firstly, the author says we actually should be disappointed by life, as things are not as good as they should be. We live in a frustrated and frustrating world; the frustration is because of the fallen world when sin entered humanity. We all carry this divinely inbuilt sense that the world should and could be better. The book goes on to say that on the other hand, we are sometimes too disappointed with life.  We expect satisfaction from other areas of lives to overcompensate for this.  When this satisfaction is denied, it starts an over-disappointed cycle. For example, I came across a thread where the mum wrote in and expressed disappointment in her children’s grades, which led her to ques...

A seemingly insignificant act has the potential to change the world...

I loved learning about the story of Reformation Day. The significance centres on how the Bible became accessible for everyone to read - historically the general public wasn’t allowed to read it, only priests or those considered anointed within the church were allowed to read it. The priests read the Bible in Latin, so for most people, it wasn’t even possible to read it. God’s word was entrusted into the hands of those in power, who were deemed qualified to understand it.  What the priests were teaching, was not actually in line with what the Bible said, as one monk, called Martin Luther found out. He started to read the Bible for himself out of pure frustration.  According to the teachings of the priests, believing in God seem to be just to be an endless set of rules and it left him feeling as if he could never be good enough for God. Little did he know at the time, he was about to birth a revolution that quite literally changed the world. This set him on a path of ...
