New Month Talk With Yours Truly!


How can it be August already? How time flies. I hope you can squeeze all the goodness out of it and catch up on my past posts.

It feels like you are always running a race you can never win right? So many things to do in such a short time. Did you get to do what you had planned out for the month of July? Whoops... tough question? Anywho, are you still going to do them? Whether yes or no, I thought to start this month with a New Month post. Whoop whoop! Nothing over the top or to scold you about  what you didn't get done. But, to create a conversation about how we ought to think, do and simple things we can actually achieve for ourselves without feeling guilty every month-end when we are introspecting.

Let's sail the August boat ashore together! 



When a new rolls in, we are already veering our focus. Everyone is excited. And yes, we start posting motivational quotes and messages to get us through the month. Fine, we widely celebrate the beginning but along the way we fall in frenzy only to be shocked when the month is over. Funny it is that we barely remember what happened to knock you off track. Sorry, I said I wasn't going to focus on the negatives. New month, new mindset, a fresh start right?



The Way To Go This August!

  • Positively – No matter what, try to find the good in every situation. I promise it’s there.


  • Wisely – Let’s try to think before we speak, my mouth has gotten me into more trouble than I care to say and let’s not even talk about my emotions that drive the get-away car. The bible says, a soft answer turns away wrath but grievous words stir up anger. Tell your emotions to give you the keys….


  • Thoughtfully – Let’s think more about someone else than ourselves.


  • Maturely – I know this is hard but sometimes you have to be the bigger person in a situation, even if it means saying you’re sorry first.


  • Responsibly – you know what this means…


  • Unapologetically – having/living without regrets.


I have so much to say, but let me stop before I ruin it. I wouldn't want to overload you, if you know what I mean. 


Happy new month! I wish you more love and less paper work.

Adulting They Call It! A Day In The Life Of An Adult...

Image
📷 Hulst Wilson It was a summer morning the smell of the fresh coffee brewing filled the air – the chill breeze and the scent of the clean-shaven glass. The shrieking clock slapped me back to reality, it was time to begin adulting. For so long I was living with my parents and feeding off them. The day has dawned for me to journey into a land of no hope – job hunting ! It had become known that jobs were for the privileged and the well-connected fellas. But this didn’t mess my mantra and optimism . What a shame everyone was caught up in the web of corruption and nepotism. Tick tock… The clock sang a song of hope. I had clothes bought specially for this day rather for the last time it came from my parents’ pension. I cleared my mind and the never-dying song of unemployment from my classmates and some from streams ahead. In my head, 8 o’clock was a date, a chance to be what I always dreamt of. I hurriedly bathed, late was never part of my vocabulary. The words of my mentor vivid

#Signs It Is Time For You To Be Courageous & Take What You Want

📷 Jonathan Daniels "You can get in life what you have courage to ask for " - Oprah Winfrey When it comes to life don’t be humble and meek, take on whatever life gives you. There is a better way to take on life, that is, to be specific about what you want. As our Shona idiom goes, “Mwana asinga cheme anofira mumbereko” which simply translates to, “You only get what you have the courage to ask for.” It is the only en route to success and getting what you want. It costs zero dollars to take charge of your life, be assertive – combine your confidence with control. Trust me it is like a magnet to get attention, a step forward to getting what you want. Growing up I was a reserved and quiet person. Never asked for anything or complained. It was rooted in me and my way of life. Up until I realized that if I don’t ask for much I won’t get much. Your soul and mind will give precisely what you unconsciously tell it, nothing more or nothing less. Being a considerate soun

Self-Confidence: Spread Some Good Vibes!

📷  Caique Silvah Through my walk in life, I have encountered different characters, personalities, with different lifestyles as well. I witnessed intense happiness, sorrow, sadness, anxiety, and depression. Every feeling you may think of. The best part of being an introvert, you observe and witness behind the scenes for clear sight. I have discovered the force that defines people’s emotions. It shapes people characters, attitude and the way they act. Upon the realization that self-confidence shapes us, I was intrigued and thought this is a topic that needs devouring to feed my curiosity. What really is self-confidence? I asked a couple of people to get a sense of how self-confidence speaks to them and how it is related to performance. Here is a snippet of what they said: “Self-confidence is the trust one has in their own abilities and qualities. It is important yeah…as a contributor to success but it is not everything.” “Possibly the more self-confident one
