Book Review - It’s your time-Joel Osteen


The overall message was clear, ‘If you think better, you live better because being a prisoner of hope and faith will supersede any challenge.The belief of abundance in possibilities will ensure winning is the only destination, as the saying goes if you want something you find a solution, if you don't you find an excuse- unknown. 

 Life is full of trials and tribulations, it's not a reason to give up, it's just a sign that the path is not right for you. ‘Every setback is a set up for something better’ Joel Osteen. I love how life's stresses was turned on it's head, through life challenge’s we build character, strength and use untapped potential that take us to the next level.

 Most of us including self-are comfortable being comfortable, so skills of greatness never come to surface. Therefore stress is needed to mould you in the person you are becoming, someone of excellence, with real credibility and substance. (At the time it would seem as an inconvenience, only when we reflect on the past we see the value of the hard times). 

I have felt more empowered in my quest to create a better tomorrow. I can slowly see a positive change in my thinking and being. We live in an imperfect world where things happen and it’s not always in our control. Life challenges can be real stumbling blocks in keeping from our best, only if we chose to turn 'a season of mourning into a lifetime of mourning'-Joel Osteen. 

 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take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation.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 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 ...

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...
