NEW YEAR; NEW ME

  Hello; it has been a while hope you have been well.   It’s the New Year and for the first time in a while, I didn’t see any new year new me statuses. Have people given up on changing their lives? Or are we overwhelmed by the state of the world which seems to not be changing?  In our capacity, we cannot change the world but what we can change is our look at life. We set targets for new year’s resolutions but we rarely ever get to attain a satisfactory result at the end of the year. The reason for this is we always procrastinate for example I have been thinking I need to lose some weight so I have been thinking of the diet when I asked when I plan to start it I said the 10th and knowing myself I will keep procrastinating. So because we do not start the year on the right footing we set ourselves up for failure. So in the same way, if we wish to succeed in any of our targets, plans let’s start on the right footing.

Back to basics

-

 


Hello dear readers I know I took a little un- announced break but I real needed it. If you are in Zimbabwe you know we just went into another lockdown and let me tell you the fear that grips me every time I hear the COVID statics I cannot even describe it.  I don’t know if it’s just me but I kind of had a little hope of a turn around this New Year and somehow the lockdown announcement just squashed all of it. I honestly felt like this was a point of no return I saw no good that could come from this situation and as I am writing this now I see a little light not much a little.

So let’s talk about the little light I’m seeing its simple people have been saying these interesting statements to me. The first person said this is a time to regroup I know it sounds like a stretch but hear me out. Yes today you may be gripped with panic ,confusion ,you may be uneasy about what the future will bring but let us always remember there are some things that will never change. Those things are the family you have, the religion you have and most importantly your sense of self. 


So my encouragement for the week is to go back to the basics communication with others it will bring you closer to all of them. You will realize that the memories you shared with them are still true and you can still make more. You will realize that you are not failing at this life thing, no you doing great keep your head up. As Nicolette wrought in her poem this is a daily reminder to always have hope, to have faith and to know everything will be okay.  Let’s pray and trust the world for a tomorrow which is brighter knowing that the Lord has begun a work in us and he will complete come what may. So chin up and get ready for the day.

Life is too short

It will not be a trending statement blog if I fail to make mention of the COVID19 pandemic. So I think it's safe to say 2020 has been a very distressing year. The situation with the pandemic has been scary and all so confusing. We found ourselves locked in our own homes, forbidden to step outside and when we were allowed out we had to wear masks, we had to distance from each other. The life we lived pre COVID19 may as well have been a dream because the new normal is something straight out of a horror movie. The COVID19 pandemic was not only scary and deadly to all of us. I believe amid the inhabitants of the earth a fear like no other gripped us. It caused a mental panic; I know I was afraid of the virus, mostly I was scared to die. Social media didn't seem to help all that much everyone in the world was in the same state of panic. It dawned on me that life is too short, too short to spend it procrastinating, too short to spend it unhappy and most importantly inordinately short

ILWA NDODOO

So I saw this post this other day it says refuse to be a broke man ILWA NDODOO.  This is in short a message that encourages a man to hustle, work hard and make money. Although I find the hustle mentality amazing and encouraging I feel we forget what’s most important so I have a different message today. I say ILWA NDODOO to be a wise man of dignity and honor because regardless of how much money in the world you amass you will never be able to buy wisdom, honor and dignity. Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.   As I said the hustle message is all that but is your hustle one which gives you dignity.   According to  Jonathan Glennie    the saddest thing in the world is not poverty; it's loss of dignity. For me these words ring true because where is the joy in lounging in wealth when you are ashamed to speak of how you gained it. Where is the joy in saying you are wealthy when you can’t sleep peacefully at night, when your dirty laundry is hung in

ILWA NTOMBO

  The now popular internet slogan that speaks to the female child to fight can be taken to mean so much. For me it came as a call for women to realize their full potential, as women we have been availed opportunities our predecessors would have considered impossible. So let us grab them and harness them to their full potential. ILWA NTOMBO  take your place in society realize  your purpose on this earth. As Mark Twain said the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.   Find out why you were born find your place in society, the purpose of our lives is bigger than our individual selves. Don’t limit yourself to your situation, be open minded, be adventurous. Remember the world is your oyster, don't settle for the hand you have been dealt allow yourself to dream. See the world as others have not seen it, be ambitious, patient and diligent, to realize your dreams.  ILWA NTOMBO  leave a life with purpose don’t just follow the path open do
