Romantic Maturity👫

Romantic maturity.... 

So... some time ago I went to see a doctor🏨You do know how the wise and gold-(as they would like to call themselves🙈 well I have a better word for them🙊)- would say,"there is always something good out of the bad...like, it can't be all bad..." well I think they actually did get this one right.. So, what was i saying before I started banging on about the old and wise😲 again? Ohh, doctor!! 💉💊💸 well that's what comes to mind the second someone mentions doctor...needles, tablets and getting very very skin, amean damn those people can Chao your chinchin yho🙅🙅 #salute.

In any case; this doctor I met was a different kindda doctor. He is an artist, poet to be specific and very particular about details👌👌 amean the type to go all ninja on you (like literally cause we talking about martial arts trainer here mate💪💪) just for double spacing where you shouldn't and missalignment of words..stuff like that🙆he is a lovely sight I tell you👌. So we kicked off as though old friends in an encient movie, thank heavens for small mercies of common language especially in a foreign land where everyone spits out a lot of shishishi🙊,well they do jam it up with a bit of chichi_s🙈 here and there😂😂 well, don't shoot🔫me for telling my site of the trauma,tu🙏😕 OK so we talked about favourite poets and poems,emotional connections and relationships💑... the diff-action between sex, love, friendship, emotions assertiveness and awareness, self confidence, healing🔘...and right on that he went all wise and gold on me saying old niches like" Everything heals with time..". And i was there like "dah! I belive in the old niche as well that time is an amazing equaliser and so with time the good out weigh the bad and if you stick it out a bi' you might live another day and love it..." 😂😂 show off, you would say, I know✋ cause I felt it. 

Now listen here for a minute please.🙏 Before I went all bonkers and started logorrhearing (you wondering what that means right??😎) well cause I am nice, ama spill a bit... So I have or had maybe 😞😞 not proper sure hey? But yeah, I "?" a mate once whom we could talk for hours and hours without actually catching a breath😊 He made me happy😀, smile😊😂...thinking back at our conversations I would swear we had to be declared mental and locked up already 😂😂. Once we were talking about mania and depression and started talking about classical conditioning and ended up giving each other names like; "Cuckoo and Weird"🙈 well I think we had a friendship honey moon phase there for a bi' and Ahh well..the rest is history...well, the other typpa of history💔!! You got it? ?😂 OK so logorrhearing! We used to make up words. Like a lot of words for different things and logorrhearing is like a version of "verbal diarrhoea".This is explained as "talking too much and for a long time" derived form two words logo... and diarrhoea... catching up now?? (Although this is a word we still believed we made it upossible as we were tranna find one word for "verbal diarrhoea" which is what was OUR case🙈) 😂😂like i said, bonkers💆but free💃💃I love free💖 So in all this conversations with my doctor(well all am planning to keep him on retainer now😎).
I learnt about how much art opens up our minds over again. He said something very beautiful and said; " there is a difference between ROMANTIC💏 MATURITY and ROMANTIC💑 IMMATURITY"... Now my brains were in bits😳😵🙆...scattered all over my thick skull💀 seeking for words🔠 to put together so as to understand this statement; not to my level of IQ but his. Guess what? I still needed him to spit it out.. the beauty of sitting right across someone with a beautiful mind and brilliant reasoning ability is that you are always waiting for the next thing thats gonna come out of their mouths like that cup of coffee ☕ or that shot of ecstasy💉 (well if that's your sort of high). Well i dont know why people even need drugs 💊💉while even conversations can give you such a high🎡that's in itself is orgasmic💯%. It's what I live for❤💖



 Then he explains is the typpa conversation which in itself says to the wife:
"Yes I am hurting babe 💔💔but i do understand that you are too because you can't hurt💘 someone you love and not be mad at yourself now can you? But we are in a relationship💑 here which means we share 👫everything. Even in times ⏰like this, each one might have had a part to play so, lets unpack this and resolve it🙏👊..." benefit of the doubt kindda thing oy?😊😊

While romantic immaturity does the opposite. You go out there scream 😥🔊from the top of your Lungs how much your wife is a dog🐕and "slut"⚠👎. A slapper that every man should just pull blah blah blah... then months later you realise you still love😍 her and do get back together💑 with the very same Slut🙊🙈that you have denounced to the entire world🌍 Now what does that make you? An utter idiot and retard really, 'cause no normal and wise would run straight into a wall with both eyes wide open👀absolutely NOT!... (well it was you who proclaimed her a wall and cancerous, right?  So don't look at me that way when I call her such...😎)
So you see how maturity 🆚 immaturity work??
Right now, you might be thinking that mature lad is raiving bonkers💊💉... who would do that?? How desperate can a man get to finally be in that position...right?
But thing is, every decision we make comes back at us at some point in our lives one way or the other.  Now question is, "how calculated is your decision today? Is it today and now focused or tomorrow and forever focused?"💆💝
Remenham our talk📑📖📰 about Will over Emotions when diving into decisions? If you forgot, go back to that post on Queens and First ladies 👑  and remind yourself because this is also that time where you consider such...


Ok let's just say you can ask yourself  this; "are there kids involved? How would my behaviour/reaction/actions from this point on affect them? Their lives today or tomorrow? She is also a human being; your partner that is, how do I feel about tarnishing her self esteem and denigrating her worth? How would I feel had it been me??" 🙆😌 have a look into your soul🔎🔎 for a minute🆗 because trust me; Some self reflection and selfless acts can safe both you and your loved ones a lot of greive and give you some inner peace💓..."

Maturity  my guy👔⌚💼. Emotional and relationship maturity💪💪  haha.
And am here sweating like...  dude why would you say this to me right now?? I mean... you should have told me this some time ago before I started 🔫🔫 (🙈🙈) so many bullets and granites💣💣 at this guy I really really liked when he started acting like a real twart🙊🙉🙈😂😂

Oops!!🙈🙊 I said it🙈

Wait a minute😑😑... I didn't denounced him or anything, I just hated 👹loving him and so eventually I just didn't love ❤him any more hahahaha. Ok. It's a long story... another day hey??✌✌

On self reflection:

As women half the time we blame ourselves for failed relationships. We feel we bare the responsibility to make things right, to do better maybe even look better...well I dont blame us. It's been so since the beginning and truth is women hold families together.  They are that glue that puts things into perspective and so mostly when things go side ways it's in our nature to feel like we could have done better. Society says "bo mme ba tshwara thipa ka bohaleng... Mosadi o ngalla motsheyo..." all these says to me; "women are the glue that hold everything and everyone togeter" and so the Weight of it all has them sometimes been blamed for things they shouldn't be....

For instance: if a man cheats, IT'S NOT on you. No. That i dont stand for... we start thinking maybe I should have worked harder on myself, looked better, sexier, maybe spent more time at the gym, lost weight, made him.... listen; he is a grown man with his brains right within his thick skull so you can't carry his head for him and make him think otherwise; no.no.no. so, him snocking off anther girls face has nothing to do with you but HIM.

Self reflection doesn't mean see yourself as an enemy or the cause , but says rather; see your part in it, as in actions and if you had a part to play, acknowledge that and be mature enough to accept that, even apologise for it... Yes. BLAME yourself for their actions? No. No. Never.

However, I am also not saying we have to tolerate pain, disrespect and rubbish behaviour... No. 🔘✖
Tell a person off✋🙅. Scream at them if you have to😭. Get it all off your system BUT while you at it; leave your self respect intact 👌and also; do to this person what they should have done to you; treat them well, with love💖 and respect cause doing what they did is basically sinking to their level of immaturity and insanity and you are much much bigger and better than all that....so, graduate.🎓👑💼 let's kinds be😎

Now are you tranna show the world that you have no backbone, no personal philosophies non whatsoever; which you use to gorven your own life hence you just measure your self worth and actions by others'? 😴What do you believe and what do you stand for? You can't fight fire🔥🔥 with fire no... have you seen fire fighters light up an already burning house? Noo!💯 They flash it with water💧💧 as they calm the flames and most importantly safe whomever they can reach in time⏰

Question to you is however: "how do you fight "the" fire in your own house?"🙇🙇

Learn to shine the light 🌞🌄in the dark places you find yourself in. Plant a rainbow🌈 in the rains☔.Do not surrender to the dark and be it. You are meant to be the light that lights it up... so be it💡💡.
When they already doubt you, why proof them right instead of proof you right about whom you are, what's your love, what you stand for... the way i see it is, we the ones who hold the key that unlocks our private/personal lives making them public and for everyone. Rem: once you open that platform for them that says you can take the stage and air your views, and once you insult her/him you thefore tell US to do our very worst since I mean we never even claimed to love this girl so why bother to day to leave any stone unturned as we lush at her?? You open that door and i really am failing to see how you figure you can shut it all up again? How? People don't forget. People don't forget and it's that momentary decision made within that second that can change our lives forever... let's choose well. Let's decide well.🔴

Mature emotionally so you can mature in romance, in relationships as well🌹🌹🌹
Note: you have a relationship with your family just as much...😘

Still me, your girl. I am only learning and in my learning, i doyou best to share with you all my views as I see certain things... please lemme know of any critics 'cause that's how I learn and grow. I can onlyou hope we grow together. Thank you so muck/Natotelasana🙏🙏
Have a blessed and beautiful 2018💕💕💕

Chapter 3:" Babe girl..."

Just a bit of poetry for the weekend....

"When holding on feels more like a crime than hope...let go and let ithe all break...you can't fix something that's not broken💔💔"
Chapter 3: "Babe girl..."

It's what he used to call me
What he used to call me
Funny how I never fancied it much when anyone would call me that before cause I used to think it made me feel too girly... and that's not me..right?

But that was before
That was before him
That was before I sold my soul to the devil and expected rainbows and sunshine in return yet from the beginning of time the stories have always been told...
"He can only throw ya into a pit of fire and fry ya up, till ya burn extra crispy. .."
What the bloody he'll was i thinking??

But please understand, he said it all too beautifully that,each time he said it,the ground shifted right underneath my feet, my knees got week and I swear I could see the stars in the middle of the day... insane right? But just like so, i was sold!
I can still hear his voice at the back of my mind calling me out softly ,"baby girl,listen.."

Ya see, I used to be a very secure,guarded and fenced up girl...
I had built a giant wall tight around my heart keeping me safe from heaven and hell cause I never wanted to find meself in a state of vulnerability singing songs like "say ya love me" and "poison" on repeat as though my entire daily routine depended on it... the usual cliché of a broken hearted girl;- coupled with ice cream and chocolate.... #num

But then he happened, and he called me all those names and expected me to just love him and not fall in love with him... ya expect too much out people love
I mean  seriously, which girl has a heart of stone cause am certain no girl could ever resist the sweet sound of his voice and the irresistible touch of his hands...
Ohh, but the day he said it,the day he called me his "Babegirl," that was the day I sold my soul to the devil...

It's no wonder am burning up right now with my heart on fire and my chest about to explode...
I cant keep it together but am putting up a face because I raised me too well
Too well to, know that it's not always that the world has to look at ya and read yar entire pain....

It's not always that we would all be on the north pole together holding hands and reciting chorinthians 13.. now, no!

sometimes I gotta stand and remain standing regardless of the forces pushing and pulling me...
I gotta smile and feel as though my entire life isn't been sucked right out of me...
Sometimes I just gotta be the poetry that i write...
The music that i sing
The smile that i give
The beauty that i feel..
Even when it hurts to the bone...


And thus I know that this too will end and the scars will heal and eventually all this will be but a beautiful memory that i will cherish and smile at one day... and for that, I know I have to let ya go and find yarself and be happy,this I pray for...
..selfless, i know...but it seems to be the one thing I do around ya... the wonder of it all keeps haunting me...
And when that time comes, i will look back and thank ya for that which ya called me...
For it played a big part in making me the woman I am today...

Pitty I really loved been yar Babe girl....

~Bonze-Bav
I loved. I lived. I gave it my all. And yes I didn't fail cause I didn't stop shoRte.  I won. Love is like poker, sometimes you win but other times you just loose... but such is life. Now whether you go and jump off a cliff afterwards is what defines you❤❤❤❤

My advice: love. Love. Love. And love some more ❤❤❤❤

EVERY ARROW...


Falling short vs. Stopping short
  Do we know the difference?

How about this:
The purpose of our potential
     Do we have any idea at all?

Over and over i have ran through scenarios in my head where I am totally doing something great, life changing and all yet mostly I started, ran through a few blocks and just right there and then... I allowed myself to feel like maybe I was not good enough and really, who am i to do this? I would ask myself...


Reception: People may not receive you the way you may have imagined or hoped. But that's not a call for despair...I know this now. I remember how I wanted (still want to) to start a radio talk show here in Ndola. I went to the radio station, got approved. Wrote a million proposals for a 40%sponsorship, just 40%, but not one agreed to help better yet some companies just straight out bailed on me. Never returned my calls or emails or anything... I got down. Started doubting the plan...

So, you see i was invested in the plan. I had put in every amps of energy I had in me and with a the little cent I had, I spent it in the plan. But still, it failed. It didn't happen.... I got heart broken and so i started looking for things to blame, like maybe it's because I Am a foreigner blah blah... And so i decided to take a step away a bit, just to rethink the whole thing, to try a different approach if there is any...

Where am I going with this?
I planned, but still failed. That's heart breaking and the very reason why people decide to not fully invest themselves in their plans, ideas, dreams, visions...fear of failure and the aftermath that comes with it. But, I still say it's better to fall short than to stop short. Now I am here yes hurt, but i can sleep.at night and look and tell myself in the mirror with a smile cause I know i did all i could at the time and when I know better; i will do better... I have zero regrets. I am at peace and still going to get right back at it again...

A different scenario would be where I just wrote it all out, the entire plan but never actually took that first step. I would be here wondering what would have?What could have? Driving me mental enough to loose sleep at night..I would have been.my own enemy in this particular dream. I would even hate myself for not believing in myself, my strengths, my capabilities, my brilliance... i would have stopped short and the pain of stopping short  cuts way deeper than the pain of falling short...

Don't keep a certain percentage to yourself. When you commit, Commit. When you invest yourself into something, do that. Don't keep a certain percentage to yourself as a fall back plan that oh, at least i wasn't 100% into it. Then how will ever know what impact that 20/30/50% of your potential you withheld would have had on your success?

Some one once said something like; "Prepare yourself and don't send a representative of yourself and say if I don't prepare and fail, well I've an excuse, i didn't prepare...but if I prepare and win well am a genius...but if I prepare and fail I just can't take that..."

You start thinking I gave my all and I was rejected. I did every thing and I still was spat upon..I. ...and so you start doubting yourself your potential, your capabilities...
There is nothing worse that what if...could have-should have...moments cause you really can't forgive yourself for stopping short. Yet there is no shame in falling short!

Prepare. Prepare. And be the Queen, that first lady and take failure as a learning curve not as a finish line... only God has a final say upon you and you...you choose to listen either to Him speak it or to the world tell you otherwise.... prepare and learn to trust God. But if you don't even trust yourself, how can you trust Him? If you can't recognise your potential, how can you recognise His?

You have the power of choice...
Do you want to have a forever that's miserable?  You don't have to stay miserable but you can choose to.
Maybe you think that's a bit daft don't you?

But if He said I give you life and death choose life; well then it depends on your definition of life dont it?is it your lung capacity and your beating heart pumping blood to all your vital organs accordingly so you may be here today with good enough consciousness and understanding, and cooking that meal for him every day and going to bed every night? Or what is life to you?  Love, happiness, joy, success, feeling of worthiness and enough...what is life to you? Only you know that answer...

The power of choice....
You have a choice on the purpose of your potential...
Remember, the same words that can build can also break, same words that can heal can harm same words that can give life can also kill... purpose... if you don't find the purpose of your potential and be in control of it; then instead of life you may offer death even to your very own dreams, own vision,  own love life,  own career, own business, own relationships, family.... you can be a ticking time bomb and with proper propergation explode at any instant...

Potential! Channeling your potential is only possible if you know it's purpose cause that will therefore be your compass... so you CHOOSE the PURPOSE  of your POTENTIAL so you may have proper  CHANNELING of all your efforts, energies, preparations, prayers, believes, hardworking,  for you to see what LIFE has in store for you...


Now don't leave a certain percentage behind. Don't live any stone unturned, don't live any arrow on the floor use every arrow. Use EVERY ARROW, every bullet, every ammunition, every missile. If you are at war, use all weapons at your disposal, be artistic and creative and yes EVERY ARROW, so you may not look back and say I STOPPED SHORT.... rather prepare and FALL SHORT cause there is no shame but learning and growth and maturity in all aspects of your life, spiritually, mentally and physically; literally.... in that.
Whenever things get tough, whenever it seems as though impossible, whenever ends don't seem to.meet athe all...keep singing that mantra..."every arrow. I am using every arrow. No. It's not over yet not while it still got some left on the ground....every arrow.." one of my favourite pastors talked about this very same thing once and a good friend of mine thought I was crazy cause he had read this very article before... it's a funny thing hoe God can put the same words in different hearts at different places at the same time. Why is that you ask? I believe it's because every soul needed that word and every soul deserves salvation...

Now back to our conversation; how often have we stopped short instead of taking the risks and rather falling short??? How then will But look at this: if you start the race and finish but don't win, you will know how far you can go, what and where you need to improve, what technique works for you, know your strengths...you may not win the metal, but you will win personally, emotionally, that knowledge you will have gained, the joy that comes with believing in yourself, not doubting your potential, taking that leap of faith in yourself, trusting God see you through it all, believing in His promises... it would not matter when you finished the race but that you finished it. Small mercies. The power of falling short. You may have fallen short of the win but you NEVER stopped short...
They say We are not thankful because we are happy we are happy because we are thankful. So; thank Daddy for His abundant mercies, always and you will be happy... pretty simple hey?? Ohh boy...

Remember, a race doesn't begin on the formation line up, at that race; NO. It starts from day 1 and when is day 1? That's the day you decide you want to be a runner.  Every practice and the pain that comes with it, those healthy meals and healthy life choices you make each day, those sacrifices you make putting in extra hours of work out, missing time with your family, settling for facetime/ vedio calls over late night cuddling and movies with your loved ones...from that preparation and investment form the start, that where the race begins. Now tell me, would you wonna let it all end, just like that? With a single slip and fall and it's all done? After such preparation?...

Do you remember the part where we said people end up leaving all certain percentage to themselves due to fear of the unknown, fear of failure? But here is a question for you; "who told you were destined for failure? How did they weigh those chances? And really how would anyone know about it all? And one last one, between God and a mere mortal, whom would you rather take your chances with?"
You will.never know untill you start. Until you take that risk, you will never know and if you keep reserving that percentage to yourself; you may never know the power of your full potential...

I reckon the question is:Do you have a plan? A drema? A vision? How far are you willing to go with it and for it??

And; what is your OWN race? What are you running? Are you prepared or at least preparing? Are you fully invested or well, still thinking about it?  "..you are either hot or cold or you shall be spat out..."
Remember to use every arrow. Every bullet. Every ammunition. Every missile. Leave no stone unturned. Be invested. Find the purpose of your potential and never underestimate the power of your potential....

The power of choice:
Stopping short
                             Vs.
                                       Falling Short
What's your choice??

As always; you are a Blessing to me and to the world. And doing this for you and with you is fulfilling to me. I only hope it's the same for you...
See you soon but in the meantime... Stay happy and blessed❤❤❤

Queens and First Ladies 👑: the power of choice👊

Hallo there you gorgeous women.

My Queens and First ladies😘
Did you know? You hold the power to choose. #thepowerofchoice

First of all, it's been a while, a long while really since I did any of this... I haven't written to you in yonks but hey; i am still here and still miss you all.😊

Sometimes life can play loosing tricks on you for so long that you end up thinking all you are is all lost or all you are is defined by your losses. You end up giving up on yourself and on God.
You find yourself allowing the world to have the final say about you, on your life, your future, your dreams, your vision,  about who you are and whom you can and cannot be.
Sometimes we let circumstances dictate to us and pain control us. We loose touch with self and and so we end up in a very dark place without any sense of direction nor the slightest idea who we are....

"Ok. Ok. Too many parables Bongiswa... " you said...
Yes; I said, "we allow" these things to control us. Alright, I know this for a fact, we can't know everything that's to happen to us or in our lives or business or relationships or family or any area of our lives really. We cannot. However once it has happened, the rails then come to us. We get that power of choice. So, here is a situation in front of you, it hurts yes, but what are going to do about that pain and anger?

Are you going to allow it to define you or are you going to feel it, yes go through it, heal your heart and then learn from every step you took that lended you here where everything really hurts, so that you may come to see which steps need a by pass or a bigger push the next time you find yourself right back at it?
Or Are you going to allow yourself to be a victim of your past? A victim of your pain, your failures? Tge power of choice...
I don't think if we all understood clearly the meaning of the word "victim" we would find ourselves called/ labeled as such nor would we condone any one calling us that...

Victim:
Have a closer look at the synonyms such as: easy prey/target, fair game, everybody's fool, helpless,  sufferer, casualty....I mean, who would want or allow themselves to be called as such or to feel like that? I read something that said we have been given a choice upon our lives to an extent that we even choose how to feel abouti a situation. My understanding here is that we choose to be angry at words thrown in the air around us, merely because of our perception of them and so we ignore our perception of ourselves, whom we are and what defines us and who defines us. You see, instead we CHOOSE to listen and react in accordance to our preception or the world's perception of them words thrown in the air or at us. 

How many times have you been too angry and then at the end wonder;"what was that all about; really?" It's because in that instant you lost sense and touch with who you are, your own values and philosophis enough to allow some one else's to define you.... we choose how to feel or react towards situations and words, tge problem is we just have assigned that task to our subconscious for so long that we have relinquished our control over it. However once we get in touch with ourselves, it's a working process but yes it is done;- we do get the correct trolley back to actually stand, wait, take that deep breath and think FIRST before saying anything or doing anything or responding to anything or...and in that act, we allow our conscious self to take over and speak or act accordingly and consciously. It is a choice....


You should be wondering why i call you "first ladies"👑

Well in the real world, first ladies work hand in hand with either Presidents  they are their advisers, their voice of reason and for that, they do understand clearly what it means to hold someone’s life in their hands. They know very well that they cannot live and act selfishly any more for their decisions good or bad, will affect their people, the people who have entrusted their entire being, safety, peace, stability, economy, freedom.... all that fosters their lives, upon them. She has to be the voice of the nation so on error and over their mantra should be "mind over matter..."
They do have to understand the power of choice. The power of that final word. That final say. "Yes; launch that missile and aim it at..." the second they punch in that authorization code and they get a confirmation back, they know exactly what that means and so before hand, there has to be some preparations for the aftermath just as much as there was that moment of silence and thought before the launch in understanding fully what punching in that authorization code would mean. The casualties, the damage, both short term and long term; will this affect the land which land, water and ground and how will that affect productivity of the marine life and agriculture in general, for how long? Then what does that say to our market value, our people our education system and our reputation to the world entirely, our international relations... who are we after we launch this missile?  But still who are we if we don't launch? Not short term only but long term in particular?
 
You see our lives are gorvened by time just as much. You may be angry today for not taking a certain job in a certain company only to be proud of yourself later for the same decision, once you come to see your true purpose or once something better, that you believed was coming has actually come. But yes; regardless of what your family or friends may have felt/thought about you and your decision then, you stood by your principles and believes and so made that decision either way.... when all that you and only you could see is indeed happening; they all look back and say "she knew it... we just were too blind to it".

Short term planning and short cuts don't pay up just as much. They are not the as rewarding and if we don't stand firm and know who holds the final say in our lives we may find ourselves making decisions that will hurt us for the rest of our lives...just to please other people.  The power of choice. Yes they maybe angry today but I will be happy forever or I will live with no regrets... really; can you choose today over forever? Really? Tough lines; yes, but worth it....

Now; my beautiful #Queens, will you take that power of choice that's within you and use it to run your life? Would take back any control that you feel you have lost by just choosing to, by choosing you first? Wait, they told you that's been selfish haven't they? Now tell you what, it's OK to be selfish sometimes especially since ONLY you have can choose what that word means to you in that moment as they through it in the air. We conform and settle for things so unworthy of us just because we are scared or worried about other's opinion over us; what about your opinion over yourself? It's better to have an outside enemy than to have you as your own enemy. Self blame, hate, bushing... it's the worst fight you could ever find yourself stuck in. So; be the Queen God intends you to be. Rule your planet, gorven your world and control your empire. Now; "do you launch or NOT?" Make that choice.... choose you❤

#the_power_of_choice #Queens #firstladies #chooseyou

Always: Bonze-Bav  (seamie)❤❤❤

Woman of Virtue :-) : treasures,change, time, Philosophies...

Woman of Virtue :-) : treasures,change, time, Philosophies...: Treasures, Change, Time, Philosophies.... Inside story: She had never known any more perfection cause there’s no other perfection...

Thursday, November 12, 2015

treasures,change, time, Philosophies...

Treasures, Change, Time, Philosophies....

Inside story:

She had never known any more perfection cause there’s no other perfection beyond one she gazed into whenever she looked into her eyes... but now they are closed. Closed forever!
            She tried to look past them, the eyes I mean; see beyond the beauty of the flash and through her soul or something but that was all in vain. The first day she ever wished the ghost/spirit make believe actually held true was the day she couldn’t see through her eyes no more... the beauty was gone.- the love, life, hope...her miracle was gone! It felt as though life was playing a trick of some sort on her. For a second she got hold of it, she had it; the next.... she started thinking, thought after thought, dream after dream, wish after wish; for if she could have just one more day with her, just one more min, second even; she could make it count as though a million of them, as though she never had even one before....as though she would never have anymore, ever again:~ Despair!!!

Treasures:  

            One minute you have it, the next its gone
            No matter how precious
Image result for treasured people            Bophelo ha se lefa....
            Young and innocent, does it even care?
            You alone care!

            I had it once, a treasure of mine, mine alone
           I can’t recall anything as amazing as it under the moon                       and the sun,
           Regardless; bophelo bo ka u bapale fupe ka lefe;
            jwalo ka nna...
            And all you can cling to are memories.

           Treasure them, love them, embrace them;- the memories;
           They are the only connection you have left, your only sanity
            The only way you can still dream...
            The only way to carry on with the hurt;
            Live with the pain, through the pain...
                        You just do it!

            After all is lost, the best I could do was hold on to the promises I had made
            The promise to move one...to live on...
            But somehow, day after day, I went back on that promise, today, again...
                        “For that I am very sorry sweetheart!”- I said
            “it’s just when I love, I love deep, no half full glasses, as a consequence, I can’t let go.
            It all happened too soon, we hadn’t finished our chats, our games; you know?...”- I continued
           
Image result for regretHow would you predict we got here? Regret of the chances never taken? Ignorance maybe; as the reason for not having taken them? Time wasted?

Now how do you think it ends?? Does the pain ever go away? Is forgiveness of self ever possible? 

The biggest question in my attempt of a poem is; “why did I NOT take all my chances and do things differently?”

However; the focus should at this point/ eventually be on taking every chance presented NOW and never miss any opportunity to change someone’s life...

                                                   CHANCE!!

We take it for granted whenever presented unto us- heck! As a matter of fact often than seldom we do not take it at all. The kicker to it all though is how big a gift to any human being given a chance is. It comes but once in a life time and few even recognize it as it knocks until it’s all gone and just as time, once lost it can’t be re-invented; only regret can then live on!!

                                                                        TIME!!
This narration I have heard it somewhere.... in a year, there are 31 million & 530 seconds, a 1000 milliseconds in 1 second, a million microseconds and a billion nanoseconds and the only constant connecting nanoseconds to years is CHANGE! Change is the only connection between time and events within our lives, the chances we are given and decision we make thereof...

CHANGE:

            Human beings hate change, they are scared of it and so they have invented the illusion of “humanity”; “it’s not I am scared of change, I am only just human!”
Image result for clockSee, we can’t hold on to time for with each fleeting nanosecond; our lives passes just as well. Our present becomes the past yet due to humanity, we take photos;- a series of snap shots of our NOW which we cling on to in fear of it passing by. That we cannot change;-the transition from today to tomorrow- but we can change how our today impacts our tomorrow. The question is: with each passing nanosecond, what good have you done, whose life have you changed, how have you changed it? With each moment we take to breath, blink; that the earth shifting right underneath our feet and that’s how fast our lives pass by...
Now: lets take a chance on change for its here to make us better NOT to scare us enough to fight and resist it and in so doing, we will be saving each nanosecond in our time... it’s a CHOICE to do so.
Remember this saying: “choice determines direction. Decision determines destiny.” By Doug Firebaugh  

                                                                                                PERSONAL PHILOSOPHIES!

They are detrimental to our well-being.  They are the deeply held beliefs and values that address the most fundamental questions of our lives, how we perceive things and the way we relate to them... like the meaning and purpose of life, joy, death and pain and suffering, why things happen as they do, the very nature of our relationship to others and to the world itself as well as the nature of our goals and responsibilities as human beings [now breath! Lol]

Philosophies define our expectations of ourselves as well as others. They guide the way we perceive and respond to our own world and help us find our place in it. They do define the framework by which we segregate thins in our lives with meaning, joy or pain and by which we determine what seems right versus what seems wrong!

                                                Next.....
What are your philosophies? What governs you? Your choices, decisions, understandings...your surroundings, environment...your entire life, who/what shapes it?? Can you honestly point out one directive you have or have had?? If no, how many chances do you reckon you have lost just because you lacked direction and guidance to even realize that that was a chance bespoken for you? How much time do you think you have lost due to all that?? Have a sneak-peak in your life a week ago, what were you doing? What are you doing now? Is it any different or somehow you are still stuck in space??

>>>>>>>>Treasures: always appreciate them!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Chances: always take the!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Time: always use it wisely!

How do you do that:  make your own personal philosophies...your baby steps? Your directives....

Until next time...

Measures...

What’s your measure?                                                     Where is you measure?

"Above Myself...."

                                             Who is your measure?

Most people think themselves as though above others, above anything and everybody else; as a matter of fact, do think of themselves as if above the world; really. They live off the power or the lust of it regardless of how they gain it, even if it’s by making somebody else’s life miserable,- now that’s one expensive artillery I tell you.
Yet if I know any better, it never ends there now does it??
Here is the story; I have lived to realize how much people get fixated on what others think of them, how they value them, what they see in them...they spent their entire lives seeking strangers approval of them enough to sent them on a witch hunt of a life time wondering about other people’s lives just as much.
            Now, what is missing here??
Open eyes. Open eyes is what’s lacking in most of us, even in the best of us. People spent the better part of their lives walking with both eyes closed and they are too comfortable in that “deformity” enough to not even realize it. That entire time people spent trying to figure out other people and wondering about how the reverse is just as true, all the energy they invest in knowing so much about somebody else is a huge withdrawal from their own relationship bank account. Tell me again, who needs overdrafts?? I believe people should invest in their own personalities, flare own lives and potentials...which of course the kicker here is if you are too busy being bugged about somebody else’s life, yours will always pass you by!
Now I am the over achiever typpa of bird with the go for it “typpa” attitude sprinkled with the- I can do it –all- form of spirit on top as an adjuvant. I want to think me as the kind that loves logic and focus. Of course some times, most of the times maybe; I get it wrong and I know that, (I swear looking at the mess on my bed at the moment, there has to be a bigger word than WRONG!) but I know one more thing though; I AM HUMAN TOO. Knowing that helps us not feel anything less than worthy when we make mistakes ‘cause to err is only human and for that, nothing ever stops us from getting up after every fall and fight one more time.
Remember my opening statement?


                        However, I am moved by one principle and that is: I think of myself as above MYSELF. I measure “me” in accordance to my potential, my worth, my efficacy,- nobody else’s but mine! See, when I am in class and I see one of my classmates with a 100% in an exam, I don’t go all ‘local nutter” on my 60%, rather I look at it and ONLY it (I know we are human so humanity can take a stand at times but its within my right to kick it off and take back the stand!). Then I ask myself; “is this ALL of you? Is this your VERY best?” See that question is a lot easier to answer if once in your life you ever paid enough time to yourself to actually know you- I mean really know you!  Then I, well more like my subconscious is able to say; “NO! You are better than this. You can do a lot better, great actually and you know it too...so quit back-paddling and get on with it already!” you know why I say NO? because I don’t believe either one of us is anything but brilliant, we cannot be average...you cannot be average cause you are made in an image of one that’s perfect so you are nothing short of a miracle, that I promise you.


I call them moments where I am both the prosecutor and the defendant; “conversations with self!”  Now back to you, how many times do you have time for such? How often do you lie supine in your bed and focus ONLY on you? Now tell me, how many times do you have a meaningful conversation with yourself while you at it?? Once a week?  Or twice maybe? How about never? Honest!

                        Careful now, you might just be a stranger in your own body or head if you keep too far away from it YET always in somebody else’s!

Weigh yourself against you! - Rather weigh the 60% against your potential than the classmate’s and his/her 100%. You do realize the latter aren’t yours right??- It’s ok to be selfish at times, keep to self.
One of my best writers once wrote, “we miss 100% of the shots we never take in life;”- you know, like kissing THAT girl/ bloke(#double wink!), getting piss drunk and dancing on a them pool tables, playing poker, running naked in the rain, singing your lungs out on a highway in the rain..... (wait, that’s all me!xx) in any case how about always dreaming and planning but never actually mastering enough courage to drag your backside up there where them people with big heavy pockets are to show case your brilliance?? How about never going for what you really want??

                                    We always worry about not being good enough, that the next person can do it better than we can, what if this whole thing sucks.....So what if it does NOT suck? What if no one can EVER do it better? What if there is ONLY you?? How will you ever know all that if all you ever infatuated yourself with is how much of a failure you are??- A much unfounded fiction by the way.
Now, the next time you think about how lame, thick and tedious you or your creation is, just do yourself  a favor and  answer this first;- ‘ UNDER WHOSE MEASURE? MINE OR SOMEBODY’S?” it your response is the latter, then remember this; “you can NEVER measure up in people’s eyes cause even they are too invested in trying to measure up in other’s eyes that noticing you is a waste of time as compared to HELPING you not notice yourself. Fact is, no matter how much we want it to be, our scales will never be equal otherwise what’s the point of  errors and infinities in Math..People never see the same- hence others are color blind!
Remember: your measure is within you, you just need to reach to it and you will be home.                                 
  Remember: you are the best in everything you create because you the very best creation yourself       
Remember: you are a every unique-one of a kind- creation hence your definition of BEST will always be unique for others’...

                  Now do you finally get why your perfection can NEVER measure up with their scale??

Remember: there is only one of you and that’s you! No one else can ever be you.                                    
Remember: YOU ARE ABOVE YOURSELF NOT ANYBODY ELSE!!!
Remember my opening statement now?- “Most people think themselves as though above others, above anything and everybody else; as a matter of fact, do think of themselves as if above the world really.” But is there ever such a thing? I mean really?.. Regardless; know this, you are not MOST people!
