The old adage says: “strike while the iron is hot”... this expression holds true now than e’re before. Why you may wonder? Well simple. Opportunities have a window within which to be “realized” ; beyond which if not acted upon morph into sour memories of pain and regret. Take it from a Sho’kwani 🙈as this is to and of itself a telling and autobiographical expression; lucid portrayal of true events...

The old adage says: “if at first you don’t succeed, try again ...” ... many of us easily yield to the pressure of failure with not so much of a spirited fight. Listen to Simon Ngubeni as he unpacks the issue of trying AGAIN.

One of scriptures telling commentaries is this : Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have d...

Why me is a common question that many easily revert to as a way of finding meaning... it’s a sentiment that we make as a way of protest against an adverse experience.

... “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken”...

There are certain things we all can’t control ... it’s true that we all like to be the masters of our own lives, however, humanity is bound by the ties of limitation.

Don’t be held as a hostage of fear... Fear has the ability to limit ones possibilities and has a crippling effect on potential.

You may not understand why something is happening to you in the moment, but in retrospect you may appreciate why it all played out the way that it did😊.

There is beauty in your brokenness ... your flaws teaches you a lot about life and your own personal experience 😊.

... “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing”...

There is beauty in change; shying away from it denies us the opportunity to grow and be better😊...

In my experience I’ve noticed three (3) ideas that frame our motivation: service, satisfaction and sustenance... However, one should triumph over them all😊.

If we’ve ever need love before, we sure do need it NOW!

It’s not good for man to be alone 😊...

It’s important to keep being loyal even in people’s absence. Words have a far reaching effect so don’t use them indelicately 😊.

Humility will give you reach and ignorance does not excuse you from the consequences

There are merits to being a hermit . Really? 🤔

The way up is down ... a life of hardship is a given

True love can only be experienced through the avenue of “vulnerability” ... and this is manifest through trust.

Stop wasting time feeling sorry for yourself ...

Don’t lose yourself in trying to belong - you matter !!!
