It is a poor idea to lie to yourself…

I’ve recently hit a crossroad in my life where I’ve come to realise that one needs to use the time we have to do everything that we desire to. I’ve realised that you can’t sit around and wait for things to happen, you need to make them happen yourself. Working a 9-5 job doesn’t qualify you for anything, it merely facilitates a salary for you to do the same thing the following month.

This brought me to think about where I want to be, the places I want to see, as well as the people I want to meet. I think we are capable of so much more than we think. Taking a chance at life and doing something out of the ordinary could make your life that much more special. A lot of us find ourselves telling our own brains that sitting in 2 hours of traffic everyday is just something we have to do, and being stressed out is all part of life. Bullshit! You can change those things. You just need to make it happen yourself.

Do we REALLY trust?

Recently I read a news article about a 2 year old little girl who had been stabbed, while her mother popped out, by a man that was staying in the Wendy house provided by her mother in the backyard. The mother, who was convinced she knew the man well enough to have left her child with him, was devastated and disgusted when she found out he was the killer.

Trust is a powerful word that takes time to build with something or someone. The problem with trust is that one person could feel completely different about what it means; they could interpret it totally different to another person. How do we draw the line between someone we can trust and someone we can’t? Is trust a thing of the past in South African society?

Not all who wonder are lost...

I wonder. I wonder a lot actually, but not because I’m lost but because wondering invites new content into our minds. We were designed humans and given brains for our own utilisation. Each individual allows themselves there own capacity to wonder.

Perhaps serious people don’t allow it enough. To me, wondering is something important, it gets you thinking about other things, makes you think of old memories, gives you a reminder about what inspires you and where you going in life.

Imagine not being able to wonder. Would we not be limiting our own brain capability, stopping our imaginations, our dreams, what makes us happy and what inspires us?....
