#MorningInspiration #WisdomWednesday- How Do I See the World?


Hello
This week’s blog post carries on from last week’s- time to reflect and when I saw the slogan below it prompted the question- how do I see the world?


 
 
I believe there is a direct correlation between how we see the world and how far or not we get in life. In the bible it says the heart regulates the hands 2. Corinthians 8:9-23. In other words what is in our hearts comes out in our actions, if we value life we tend to make the most of everything. This includes how we our resources such as our mind and time, both equally valuable as there is only one of you and there are only 24 hours in a day. Some may say the gap between the rich and the poor has never been wider or the have and have not’s. A very compelling question to ask is why such a disparity?

Taking away the specific variables, we are left with our minds and time both are not subjected to means but influenced and conditioned by its environment. Looking back on my own life I can see a distinct paradigm shift. I now see the world through inspiration, which turns in to possibilities and dictates my actions. I keep my circle of influence small, as the saying goes if you got more than 2 people in a room messiness is not far away- GV.  My time is spent on activities that would enrich my life such as reading books or listening to sermons. In the words of Maya Angelou, if you know better, you do better.

As we head into the last quarter of 2016, ask yourself the question am I going to finish the year strong? Your answer isn’t necessarily a deal breaker because life is all about the creation and not the destination. The saying that every expert was once a learner comes to mind, no one starts off being great. Greatness is crafted over many years of trials and errors, practice and failures.

I want to leave you with some food for thought inspired by the Bible. It is just as important to look at the roots as well as the fruits, if not more so. For example, if your answer to the above question is no. Then you need to ask yourself why, sure there are circumstantial factors but if you keep on stripping away those reasons, I suspect you will find the real reason[s] why 2016 wasn’t how you envisaged. A common reason I observed is lack of self belief, which is often half of the battle.
I briefly shared mine below:
I think on the whole I will finish 2016 strong and to make 2017 and even stronger year. I need to de-clutter my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. I have come to the realisation that if I want an even greater year, I must truly let go of past bygones to make space for life’s possibilities.

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 ...
