Morning Inspiration - Facing The Biggest Trial Of My Faith


Hello

Thank you for stopping by.

This week’s post has been inspired by trials and tribulations that led me to feel defeated and deflated in my faith. I remembered that early on, my mentor taught me that the peace of God comes from the Word of God and not necessarily the people of God or just people.

Less than 2 years into my faith, it was the first time I felt disconnected with the Word. I lost my momentum as I was overwhelmed with the sheer volume of dysfunctional people that I had the misfortune of encountering. My response is not necessarily God’s response and this conflict has given me a lot of stress.

‘When faced with senseless drama, spiteful criticisms and misguided opinions, walking away is the best way to stand up for yourself. To respond with anger is an endorsement of their attitude.’ Dodinsky.

I loved the above quote that was sent me and the takeaway for today is definitely a case of ‘let your haters be your motivators’. When people hate on you it is usually that they want something you have. Haters make you greater, you can carry on hating but every time I will rise higher and higher. The best revenge is success and not to feed into their issues and toxic ways (Inspired by Steve Harvey).

How people treat you is usually a reflection of who they are and not who you are. I had a few situations where I thought are you really that insecure that you needed to have a pop at every given opportunity and adopt the poison parrot syndrome. Clearly this is the reality for many people’s existence and their jobs is nothing but pure hatred driven by jealously and their own insecurities in most cases.

Upon reflection this may be an opportunity for me and my daughter to develop into stronger individuals. It can only help with our resilience and grit in the broken world that we live in.  Initially I was quite angry at the whole ordeal(s) but now I realised the below is also true for me to pity such way of life:

‘Negative people need drama like oxygen. Stay positive and shine brighter.’ Unknown.



Love and peace

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 ...
