If my way was the right way, the world would be a better place. If my way was the best way, my life would be perfect. if my way could heal the sick, protect the vulnerable, aid the ones in need. I cant say i have a way but i'd like to believe that i do because esentially, my way is usually the way i would follow. I justify my way, i sugar coat my way, but somehow i always believe my way is the right way or do i?
How many times have you felt that you have a right to advice your peers on this and that and have not only listen to your opinion but also take a decision that will deem your opinion as important and invaluable. See the only way we feel importnat is when other people have not just respect towards us but admire us in a way that they may even to a certain degree be "cemburu" which of course we pretend its too much for us but, in my humble opinion (imhp) i believe if we we had no friction we would never feel half as important as we sometimes feel when people find us intimidating or rather hard to get along with.
MyWaY it means that if i had to rule the world i would not want it to be ever so simple. But i would want people to respect me. take Adolph Hitler as an example, does anyone really think he set out to crush his country's economy? From his concentration camps to his favour of perfect people tall, blue eyes and blonde while if i should mention, he was nothing of the sort. He never meant to kill people he did not want to be known for his "genocides" he meant to be known for making the perfect Germany with perfect people, perfect military, perfect leadership. see his Way was to make it right. At the time the only way he knew was his own... my Way sounds ever so simple but even Shaka Zulu never meant to be known for his impossible way of mourning but he is now... it is his way...my way.
Do i still believe i can change the world make it better for my own people particularly? Yes I do but can i do it alone? No of course not question is, who can i trust to have the same interests as i do at heart.To genuinly advice me on my weaknesses and to shed light when i seem to be walking idle. it has to be hard right. that is where i find my way being The Way, because it is the time i have to tell myself i cn do it by myself. can i really?
if i said i couldnt, would there be less respect for me out there? would i be deemed weak.
My secret? i believe that it is true the weak and the needy are strong and rich respectively in the Lord. My God heals me, guides me, provides for me, opens my eyes, shields my way. For his way the mother of all ways i therefore know my way because his is the one that surrounds mine. His presence gives my way meaning. where is your way?
Make it a point that you live life to the fullest meaning give it your best and be satisfied with what your God requires of you.

the call
"Come with me" when a voice calls we question, we need to familiarise ourselves with it before we can obey or rather affirm to whatever the voice has to say. Of course we have been taught if not by society and family, by our own experience that the best person there is, is a curious inquisitive person. no one wants to be a cold fish, passive, runover, wet blanket, follower, walk over, 'podi' (goat) because no one wants to have to be told what to do. 1, people will show you no respect however much deserved or earned. 2, people will think of you as a kiss-a*s so of course we question every voice that calls. Imagine if each time you call someone no matter how many times you try they always ask who you are, wouldnt you give up? i know i do. But it is still a matter of understanding what it means to be called. Give yourself the benefit of doubt, when a voice calls try to follow it. Who knows? it might just be your way to greatness, Lord knows we all ache for greater things in life. The call will guide you, no one said it will be fun, no one said it will be comfortable or pleasant. my call? well i feel a need to care for a child, a needy child, a child that cant get enough food for a day, my heart been placed in a land foreign to me but guess what? the very fact that it brings me great discomfort, just the thought of it gives me reason to press on because well my heart has been placed in a land just as a desert as my own but it has been torn apart by war, there is a need for care, love and peace of mind. it is not about making it big. it is making a difference while in your call. for now my call is all i ever think about because my call is your call my call is to care dare to join me. my call your call his call her call individuals make a vast difference everyday so can you. take up YOUR CALL.
karma
For a lot of us, karma is the one thing we forget all about until things are not going well. we pretend it is a non existent superstitious thought. this would only count if only we would discard it even when things go reasonably sour, otherwise does karma exist? When good things happen to us then we're doing well when they are not so great we have a tendency to blame it on karma well actually, we'll have someone else to blame it on behalf of us. Someone else will point out our wrongs so that whatever will be happening to us is "fair". Honestly, for each person there is a certain way to decide what is worth coming back and biting you in the a*S while some things just wont be blamed on karma. For example, when things are seriously tragic, no one wants to even mention the word karma. After china had a major earth quake ealier in 2008, one hollywood star was captured saying "karma" had to do with it. However it was not well received and played over and over again on the internet across sites. What then, or rather when are we allowed to say thats Karma?
Hurriicanes hit different parts of the U.S while scientists say human race treats the environment terribly we still cannot say it is karma, because as humans however far apart, we read beyond the statistics to the individuals that are suffering through all this, essentially never will you hear anyone openly mentioning someone deserved what came over them why? We are afraid of karma as well, what if i say it and karma hits in such a way the same person will be laughing and saying i deserved it? This is a generally scary thought but very true as well. We judge each other but when bad times come we stick together, not because we feel obliged but because we are afraid not to help should the situation be reversed, would we want the other people to turn their back on us?
Karma is an A*S yeah? Well it depends, where does karma come from? Is the universe trying to keep order within the human race or is it possibly a much higher force? A case in which then karma is the police and we should be able to just like the actual police force we deal with each day learn how to manouver around them, just that with karma you cant hide or can you. whats your karma story....mine well i wouldnt know where to start.

courage, my courage
I have the courage to love when possiblities are my heart will be crushed beyond recognition, the courage to ask and create an opportunity to be deemed as clueless, the courage to tell hopefully i wont be reduced to nothing more than a gosip folk, the courage to instruct eventhough there might be mistakes in my intructions, the courage to decline offers eventhough they might be just what i need, the courage to propose offers despite the loopholes i might trap myself in, the courage to leap when the likelyhood is mostly me falling, the courage to walk though the path may be dark, the courage to give forgive even when the courage to accept, the courage to smile, the courage voice my pain, the courage to entrust my wealth though chances are it will be lost the courage to open my door when there are winds strong enough to hurt me, the courage to sing though my voice is frail, the courage to assume authority when the storm is just building up, the courage to redefine myself mind you, that might mean i'm utterly clueless of who I am. my courage to give in while that possibly identifies me as weak. The courage correct, when i'm not certain of my own words what if it bites me?
to review all this, i could face a lion, i could face a storm, i could face death i could face a broken heart, i could face very gates of hell,i could face a traumatic loss, i could face all darkness and all evil what is left for me to conquer? what is it that i cant face?
perhaps the question is, "what can conquer me? who can conquer me?" my answer? well only my God can conquer me only he has power over me see he created me, breathed life into me, my time is in his watch, my watch is for show his is my very moments of LIFE.

right now
time is now place is here everything that you do is for the current situation and if you think for a second that you're all about the future, try looking in the mirror it just doesnt work that way. see the fact is when you work today, you just mean to finish, you just want to please you want to make money. Imagine if big businesses would say I'll only make money once a month? they would not be big now would they? face it time is money, every single second that we're typing or on the phone or emailing we know this is business, today.! So if tomorrow never comes guess what? You're content with what you have already done today.
Creating a balance between perception and reality is important, but sometimes our very being means we dwell more on perception than reality. think about it, you always strive to make money you use such ideas as "time is money" not because they are just ideas but because you believe them. the here and the now are what matters. forget tomorrow today is way more exciting because you're already here. change is immnent faith is vital. at this very moment someone is crying someone is yelling someone is restless someone is dying someone is mourning, even with all that negativity someone is laughing, someone is born, someone is excted about life, this is right now and these are our facts. the here and the now. this is what we live for.
Change you way of thinking, live for the now but let you future be within reach. Love with all your heart, forgive yourself and others for the mistakes. Give as much as you can, show you care now.! excercise more, indulge more,smile more. LOOOSEN you grip on things that dont matter. rather just cling to LIFE.
