Shoot For Perfection!

In Her Thoughts: Shoot For Perfection
📸the.photographers.official 

There’s nothing more fulfilling than a sip of positivity on a mundane day. It warms the soul, the push that’s much needed to get things done. Even Mr Ego. Mrs Independent. Sir Workaholic. And Madam Creativity needs it. No matter how you think you're built, we all need something to hope for.

That which drives us to wake up every morning beaming with hope on our sail through the waves of life. It's a new month. This September let your hair down, chanel your energy and take self-doubt by it's horns.

Of course, you’ll second guess yourself 80% of the time, the shadow of dissatisfaction can be intense. But do your best anyway, live out each moment to its fullest moment. This also translates to throwing your all every time at anything you'll be doing.

Shoot for perfection. Yes, I said it. The P-word is controversial. People gasp for air as if it's profanity. It’s overzealous some might say, but if you shoot for average you’re not guaranteed a hit all time. If you shoot for perfection instead if you land on good or great and that’s not too bad huh. It’s a win.

It’s about putting your all energy in your current, not being average, and challenging yourself. Watering that seed of hope and nurturing the bud of faith. There’s something within that’s bigger than the world. Your Mentality, that’s the difference

From hope and hopelessness
Pessimism and Optimism
Mediocrity and Perfection

You’re everything you need to be. Don’t put a cap on it, once you do that you’re punctuating your story, your journey, your adventure. Commit and be ready to serve. Not just the, “YES, OF COURSE, I WILL DO IT” but staying for the long haul. Staying true to what you said you were going to do.

Master yourself to bring value to yourself. Your mind is very powerful, it shapes reality. Basically your life is an inside job. Make sure your

Sight is with determination, don’t get distracted
Speak words that build not break
See things with an open mind not blurred

No one is born perfect, that we can agree on but nothing stops us from working towards it and do it ourselves with self-confidence. It’s something that's built. It’s all in what you spend your time on. Before taking on a project or do anything remember you’re working on a clock, every second count. Value and respect your time. Do things you’re passionate about and things you’re excited to do.

Things you do and how you do them without compromise lay a blueprint for others to follow and how they treat you. That’s what builds character!

P.S. Do things to do them, not to get them done.
Happy September🌻

Let Him Feel!

It is Day 6 of the Afrobloggers winter writing challenge! Advocacy week, and we are doing a mental health series. Let’s go! The societal ascriptions to manhood have made being a man quite scary. Men are told as boys that manhood is synonymous with strength, toughness, providing, etc.   Jabu men do not cry look in the mirror and man up!  That is the reality of what society tells our men they have to be. Everyone expects a certain stoicism in them, a free will to repress emotions and act manly (whatever that means).  If you grew up in an African home, you know that Dad is home was not a mere announcement but a warning. Life as a man means people expect too much from you. You are feared. The chronicles of a man with a stick, always ready to fight. Picture this it was a good day, their favourite team won the Premier League and are in a good mood. But the moment they get home, they have to act in a certain way, speak in a stern voice to maintain a speculative reputation of masculinity. Li

Be Straight Up With Me Or Walk!

📸the.photographer.official Have you ever met people who are just not truthful? From the smallest things, like what’s your plan really? Even the simplest question like, what do you do for fun? I don’t know whether it’s the need to impress or insecurity that my answer won’t measure up to the next person’s expectations? At first, it gave me chills, not the warm fuzzy goosebumps but the cringe that literally gives one an upset stomach. I was filled with so many questions, still is, and the reason why I’m writing about it. My mind screams, my face frowns and my whole being escapes me, I can’t handle hearing people deprive themselves of their true self. What for? Is it really worth it? Many things are avoidable. Literally everything, everyone has a privilege of choice. This is what it’s like every time everyone chose to lie and not be straight up. This is what it’s like living with lies on your tongue, it’s a choice. It all comes down to choice or it's the demons one is battling with

Hence, this article, please show up for people in your life in ways they need. So what am I saying? Let me explain. Just show up and pay attention to what your partner actually needs. Don’t assume, don’t generalize we are all u
