Glass Diamond

 Everybody loves good things and being the best. Shining is our ultimate goal in life, and it should not be at the cost of anyone. Sometimes we view a facade as the ultimate picture, or we simply hold on to glass as if it is a precious mineral. Diamond our award-winning jewel for years, whom everyone wants but fortune seems not to be favourable to all humankind. It's always glass diamond 99.9% of us get, thus; having an acceptable will not a perfect one. We need to change the narrative. Glass diamond is simply having something that looks original but being fake like lables (Gucci, Nike...). It is the exact imitation of the original copy. How many of you agree with me that given a range of expensive items and similar looking low cost, you would ought for the relatively cheap. What you will be thinking of is quantity not quality. As you can see, glass diamond can be by choice. Some of us live in Utopian worlds and are comfortable with the facade. The outside world exists but does not...

The silent motivator

Image
 Streets are filled with noises and buzzes of people making moves. Headlines, newsflash/news feeds, socials and platforms are filled with spoken hero(ine)s. Those who won't make it to the list are seen to be misfits to societal's standards. Today I'm hear to talk of the unsung heroes moving societies forward. We live with them, connect and socialize but never validated their worth. There is the generous sect, always willing to give and make impact, for the sake of helping and making moves. Today's post is inspired by the care givers and nursing mothers. I value their tremendous work for ensuring the life and safety of others. Doing such work is a calling.  Nursing mothers make sure that new life/born or children get all they need and is provided in moderate supplies. This ranges from food, clothing and other factors. The comfort of their children is their duty. They can go extra miles making sure the babies needs and demands are met. They try by all means nurture the ch...

35-year-old sells her daughter

Image
 My heart was heavily saddened after learning of the 35 year old South African lady who sold her daughter Joshlin Smith for only R1100.00 The sad part iis that being a biological mother to this pretty damsel, she had the gut to kidnap and sell her child to a Sangoma. What is society turning into? This is no different from murdering her own blood. How can one be so heartless to give away a precious soul for items which are vanity? I'm still in shock as to how cruel society can be for personal gain. Some kill for riches and glory, others steal to make big names and to some sacrifice equals power but, all is vanity. I agree with Shakespeare, " Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing ." We're so caught up in today's swift that we forget tomorrow exists, how pathetic.  Just like Joshlin's...

Blogging, my new found career

Image
 I never saw myself as a blogger to begin with but my passion for wording brought me here. Bloggers space is an amazing spot to share content, showcase writing skills and a place to be yourself. However, certain factors restrict us from spreading our wings fully and fly, but; I'm here to share the positive vibes, what's works for me. What fuels my blogging career is thought leadership, social commentary and my passion and grit for writing. I love challenging the norms and status quo by speaking of what people often shy away from. Societal issues to be precise. One of the things I have observed that speaks more to people is art, nature, poetry, scripts, storytelling and music. My love for literature and creativity pushes me to write also headlines and stories making moves ignite my ikigai. My love for a harmonious world pushes me to create it. The little girl in me yearns to share information of how to succeed and my failures in a bid to win souls from not pursuing my footpr...

Power of words

Image
 Words are the most powerful tools one can use either to build or destroy lives. Ever noticed that even a dead man's words are regarded essential?  Words said to someone can demeanor or boast one's confidence. Body shaming is exercised through words. Appraisal, complements, congratulations and awarding take place in exchange of words. Words speak out the most. In as much as people say actions speak the loudest, I beg to differ. Imagine, someone walking away from a conversation or banging the door in front of you and having to utter hurtful words in a bid to retaliate, which one is impactful? Of course, words. One of the reasons why people read as a studying technique it's because it is hard to forget what words you encountered and their impact. Words are powerful tools for creation. They bring about the vision and imaginative side of things. "I love you," as simple as it may look can create a relationship leading to marriage. "You're ugly," strong e...

Be the shining star not the shooting star

 Back at it, talking of making impact. We're this microwave generation that likes making it to the top headlines, newsflash, glam and fame. At times we end up opting for the shooting star that announces its presence. Yes, it makes noticeable blueprints but only remain for a while & is heard no more. Choice is yours, shining star or shooting star. I'm a superstar😆 Shining stars are amazing.  They always avail themselves in a clear night sky. What make them phenomenal is their energy to shine throughout the night and still showing up the next day. People associated to these stars are reliable and they shine in and out of season, always soaring high. They are fuelled to constantly shine unlike shooting stars that sky rocket only for a moment. Such people are full of wisdom and understanding/knowledge; that is, it is difficult to tell when they are undergoing their best or worst due to their consistency in shining & how they handle situations. They always find a way aroun...

Integrity wins

Image
 Have you ever been in a compromising situation where you thought of neglecting your values and morals in a bid to win obstacles? Well, that which you value, validate, your morals or principles is your integrity. Integrity also entells doing good even if no one is watching.  Do you have integrity? I've learnt that leadership with lack of integrity and ethics is simply heading to a doom because such leadership skill is comprised of honesty, fairness, respect and responsibility to mention a few. Imagine, having an employee who gives false statistics; wrong or incorrect judgements/solutions/feedback can be achieved, jeopardizing business or negatively imparting an organisation. Do you apply integrity in your day to day lifestyle? Can someone rely on you? Those who lack integrity can flourish a short time and fail to remain or stay up there. Such a virtue is powerful. In order to build healthy relations, we need it. Be it home, school, work... exercise it. Gain trust through integ...
