#MorningInspiration #NotetoSelf #Inspired by #TylerPerry #WordsofWisdom

Hello

Thank you for stopping by.

This week’s post has been inspired by Tyler Perry- Note to self, link below. It would resonate with anyone who has been brought up in brokenness, drama, dysfunction or strife.

A beautiful message that gives hope - a better tomorrow is still to come, mess can be turned into a masterpiece through the grace of God- anything is possible.

Tyler Perry (TP) - Note to Self…………………………………………………………………………………………………

I was deeply moved by the message because as you know my own journey isn’t too dissimilar to what TP described. I loved how he framed such a dire trauma and turn it into encouragement & inspiration for others, to never lose hope - better days are still ahead of you. He also added that each experience, good or bad will help to shape you in the person you are- you become better, tougher and use your experience in your work to uplift, encourage and inspire millions of people.

TP faced many oppositions and he had every reason not to succeed, but he did in spite of all of it. The inner voice he heard during the midst of his trials, everything is going to be okay and that is not true when a teacher told him that he won’t amount to anything, he now believes that was the voice of God. The way TP navigated through turbulence times - he now believes that was the voice of God directing his every step. 

‘Beat everybody who beat you’- TP.

Thank you (God) for living so I can thrive-TP.

I am usually a very private person and never thought I be writing so candidly. It inevitability brought me back to when I was at my lowest ebb. The job that almost crushed my spirit. I just managed to keep myself together and move forward. I am very passionate about raising awareness and spreading a more positive message to the youth particularly, those who are at high risk of not being productive with their lives. I can relate that it’s all too easy to consume in alcohol & numb the harsh realities of life at times. If we can only realized & accept the connection between us & God we may too heal & be purposeful. I do believe after many years of therapy that it’s only God, who can truly heal & renew the body, mind, soul & spirit to think & be beyond the pain.

When I look back at that dire period- I do wonder how I managed to navigate such dysfunction & walk out filled with hope & faith that it will all get better and I be okay. Given I had every reason to be unsettled & fear the unknown because essentially I was on my own- coupled with this my daughter also had a few problems of her own. The school wasn’t working out and I had to move her school that alone was a very unsettling because it was one change after another and it was overwhelming to contain.
Now I also believe that it was the voice of God, who has always been there & directing every step to come out of it stronger & better.

18 months on everything just come together so beautifully, my daughter is thriving at her new school and I am healing & much happier in my work. I am filled with hope that one day @ThinkingKIMI would be known to encourage & inspire others to think & be beyond their circumstances.

Have a blessed week ahead.

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 ...
