Bullet Points…

Life is not a powerpoint presentation where everything
is captured and simplified into bullet points.

Children caught in bullet points of achievements
die tragic deaths in lettered words of administration.

What About You? Affirmation Challenge Day 19

I am a victor and not a victim. I rise above every circumstance that was meant to destroy and put me to shame. I gather every stumbling block that life placed in my path and turn them into steps to rise.

What About You? Affirmation Challenge Day 18

I am a miracle of life. I am born for a purpose. I am purpose-driven. My days will be long and satisfying.

As commonplace as human life may seem because we are 7 billion and counting – other living things excluded – every single one of us is a miracle of life. Every single one of us is chosen.

I love these quotes from yesterday:

DancingPalmTrees: Perfect Love drives out fear based hate. If we were truly perfected in Love immigrants and refugees families would not be ripped apart and the children placed in detention camps. Bible scriptures should never be used to justify hate, racism, bigotry or discrimination.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+John+4%3A18&version=NIV

ChattyKerry: I am an astonishingly strong woman who persists in the face of chronic illness. I am kind, loving, thoughtful and work well in a team.

Bernadette: Creativity is a wondrous gift and one that has no expiration date. Annika Perry

Ageofaquariusweb: When I count all that I have, I have more than I have not. MAYA ANGELOU

Thoughtsnlifeblog: I am a strong powerful soul. I am fearless and capable. I am peace and in peace I am strong.

JanMalique: The very centre of your heart is where life begins – the most beautiful place in Earth. Rumi

Naive…

Image result for government images

she laughs
at the naivety
and the smallness
of their minds

they think that
vampires only walk
and feed
in the dark

in broad daylight
these beautiful monsters
blend seamlessly
into the crowd

We shouldn’t be shocked when government administrations do things that are reprehensible even in the name of God. When the handwriting is on the wall and we choose to close our eyes to the signs, we simply unleash wickedness in high places. When you vote, vote with your conscience. Search your heart for the truth.

What About You? Affirmation Challenge Day 17

I am much more than I give myself credit for. I am a masterpiece of a fabulous whole. I’m a chosen treasure. Jacqueline

Many people struggle with appreciating who they are because they feel that ‘they are not good enough.’ Many find it difficult to make open affirmative declarations about themselves and as a matter of observation, a whole lot of people feel embarrassed to do so because it would be classified as being immodest and vanity. Self-love is the first form of love and keeping your sanity.

The truth is that you are short-changing yourself by not accepting in totally all that you are and meant to be. You are doing no one anyone favours by belittling yourself, but actually doing yourself a whole lot of disservice.

I love these quotes from yesterday:

Bernadette: ‘A daughter needs a dad to be the standard against which she will judge all men.’

Mandibelle16: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

You can’t beat this quote with many, the quintessential speech of with the hope of a modern multicultural America, by Dr. King, encouraging people to rid the U.S of racism against African-Americans. Also, I think he speaks to us no w other cultlural divides and moments of discrimination and prejudice in any society or culture. Darkness and hate will only amplify these evils but love and light is a way forward through benevolence. He speaks to everyone in the twentieth and in the Twenty-first century, to overcoming racial inequality and the judgement of others. To love despite certain predispositions to spout hate.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday.

Dissecting Without Reservations…Stream of Consciousness Saturday

Once I saw the prompt reservation I knew where I wanted to go with it. Of late, I realized that I have been my own stumbling block in many ways. I have been standing in my own way of pushing forward and 99.5% of this manifestations have been due to mental blocks or subconscious reservations that have taken deep root in my mind.

Now, with my merciless carving knife or should I say pen, I am practising mindfulness and paying special attention to the negative messages that come to my mind to counteract my positive affirmations. I seek to understand this negativity better, trace their origin, influence and self-healing. Dissecting oneself can be a painful, messy, unsavoury affair, but the journey to find one’s true self and to realign one’s path requires no reservations.

Messages that may have been founded on experience, background, upbringing etc, inadvertently play a huge role in our lives. They underlie our success and wellbeing and unless we dig to the roots of these negative messages without reservations, it is very difficult to change them.
