PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT

Life is wonderful.  It depends on how you see it and the perspective in which you stand to view. Life is wonderful because it is made up of various kinds of people. Life comes with beautiful, ugly, nasty, wicked, lovely, courageous, funny, foolish, silly, kind, wonderful and sad people!...I am sure you can think of variations not mentioned above.

Life is wonderful because a kind person can in one minute be kind; the next minute is foolish, the next minute be silly and finally settle back to his or her kind self. I am saying this because I have met people with funny characters especially at my working environment. It would take a lot to try and deal with some types of people but it is possible.

What is imperative is understanding what you want from a person and understanding boundaries that have been placed which you must respect about every individual. This is because you do not know what people have been through all their lives and the issues they are presently dealing with making them the way they are now. Try and put yourself in the other person's shoes once in a while and you may appreciate why they have turned out as nasty or as wicked as they are now. People may have been taken for granted, treated harshly, been disappointed several times, or may have been abused for such a long while that they turned out as nasty as they are now. If you put yourself in their shoes it may be easy to deal with them and with love in your heart.

Now don’t get me wrong I am one person who believes you should not allow the issues of life affect you negatively that you now become repulsive or a terror to others around you. I don’t believe you should become so ugly in character and personality just because of what life has thrown at you. Instead it is possible to still radiate dignity, poise, beauty and still remain a person everyone would like to be in contact with irrespective of your history.

The next thing to do is determine why you are where you are with that same ‘nasty’ person and for how long you would need to be in constant contact with that person. If you are clear about your priorities you will readily ignore a lot and not let certain things bother you as such. If however you are the ‘nasty’ person do take note that it is just a matter of time….life will throw more your way that would keep you in that state…what goes around comes around! You can’t eat your cake and have it..whatever you sow you reap!

...remember there is always a better way

TIRED!

The body was created to work and to rest at the appropriate time. The holy scripture says God even rested on the 7th day after creating the world.

The same thing applies to the mind! How can we rest our minds? I feel it is simple. STOP THINKING...

Now this may sound contradictory to statements like 'the moment you stop thinking you die', ' think big' 'think'! By all means please do the thinking where necessary but also know when to allow the mind to rest. As I have always believed 'there is a time for everything', the trouble is knowing what time it is and finding a balance. Don't go crazy as one of the pictures portray STOP THINKING! Take time out to rest, that way you become a pleasant person to be around your loved ones, friends and families.

STOP THINKING, start doing! And the first thing I advocate for you to do right now is that you rest....

Go on!

Internal madness

Life is beautiful yet some see ugliness and ensure that others around them feel the bitterness they feel while justifying their actions under religious or political reasons. It is plain stupidity and foolishness and only one person would judge accordingly on the last day.

Why make other people's life miserable when you have nothing good to offer. Deal with the hurt you feel inside of you and know that there is nothing really special about you, your views or your thoughts guess why? Cos we all are special in the sight of God. As long as you have life inside of you there is something special about you so appreciate the uniqueness of others and deal with the madness inside of you cos everyone has a little bit of madness inside of them yet they deal with it so why should the whole world stop cos of your own internal madness!!! Please deal with yourself...if you think you are all that and a bag of chips, know that there are others who are twice and even 10 times more than you and yet they still have a humane approach to life so what's so special about you???

If you can't affect life positively then you might as well leave this world so the rest can live in peace for we really can do without you!

Sellah!

CHRISTMAS AGAIN!!!

Ok, yeah! Its christmas time and all around you I am certain you can see a lot of shopping going on, presents being passed round, music in the air, decorative lights and all sorts! WOW! I can only imagine the sight ....

Just a short message from me to you. Try to think of others this time around. Don't be selfish, go out of your way for others and all in all show love! that is the greatest gift of all. In fact show love to someone that doesn't deserve your love for that truly is what the saviour Jesus Christ did for us all.

Merry Christmas everyone and please please please DO HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

R.I.P

I lost an old class mate today. SAD! Just occurring to me that I had been meaning to get in touch with her and see if she finally got round starting her doctorate degree as she told me the last time we spoke. TOO LATE! And my heart is heavy. Question is were we close friends? NO but we were cordial.

Why am I sad? Its because no matter how we think we are deep down, no person SHOULD be ok with the news of the death of someone they once knew or someone they've come in contact with. This is because life is precious and the news of one's death reminds you of the inevitable. It makes you sit up and ask yourself certain questions. It makes you cherish the moments you have with your friends, loved ones, colleagues and family members knowing that NOW is the time to show your love and appreciation for them NOT LATER! NOW
So call that friend, that family member, that boss, that subordinate, that loved one and appreciate them for who they are. It is always easy to get carried away by the hassles of life but remember people around you are extremely important so be there for them, show love, encourage others when you have the chance, challenge them to be better than what they are, forgive when they wrong you and LOVE as often as possible. Its easier said than done but 'you get a pass mark for trying' ...says my husband
THIS IS FOR YOU YASMIN EL'RUFAI. I WILL REMEMBER YOU AS YOU WERE ...LOVELY! Rest in peace. Rest in peace yasmin
