Pursuits of Freedom




In a world of suffering, it is hard not to live in
A space of suppression.
In a world of injustice, it is hard not to respond in anger.
In a world of unrest, it is hard not to reside in isolation.
In a world of darkness, it is easy to lose hope.
In a world of heartache, it is easy to feel bitter.
In a world of brokenness, it is impossible not to inherit pain.

Acceptance of these things doesn’t make them right
But it does make us free. Life can be unfair,
But it is still good. 

Whenever there are obstacles there are also opportunities.
We just need to remember the lessons and not the scars.
Because yesterday’s scars are today’s strength.
When we choose to respond with love and peace,
Change will start to happen because
To reflect a different message to the next generation.
We first have to lead by example.

Maybe when there are no perfect endings,
It’s time for a new beginning.  
Life’s defeat can also be life’s inspiration.
Squandering life away doesn’t necessarily
Stop the pain, it just forms a cycle.
Sure, our past may make the present hard.
But in the pursuit of freedom, much depends on choice.
To not turn a season of pain into a lifetime of pain.
My wounds can be used as wisdom to inspire troubled souls.
Everything can work to the good of everything.

I hope to inspire one day a broken child to never give up
Because I was once the broken child that had given up on life,
Thinking no one cared - but He does.

We cannot go forward,
Until we stop looking backwards.
It’s difficult but not impossible.                                                                
Only through Him.
Because He is the only One can bring
Peace to your past,
Purpose to your present

And hope to your future.

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 ...
