Back again

Its been a longime since i posted let alone wrote anything on this Blog,it sure feels connecting to resume my writtings. The moments and times that have captured my livelyhood for all these years has tested and put me in experiences that not only have brought valuable lessons and awareness but filling to a void that has lawys lingered. Over the next days i will be catching up need i say attempt to catch up. The goal is to find that contiuous groove to my writings as well as sharing positive experiences supported by visuals and many more. "As always be you and i be me"

You

You are destined for better and great things ahead. Never doubt, loose faith or hope. It's never easy achieving a goal. It will take determination and sweat, despite all the hard work just focus on the prize. Along the way never forget to lend a hand to the homeless and those that need your listening ear. You are a very blessed soul. As always be you,and I be me.

Growth

What does growth mean to you? We are born to grow and become respectful young men and women of the society. Later we become adults and be the teachers and leaders of the generation behind. Unfortunately growth will not exist if there is no room for learning and using the tools needed to grow. The number one and essential tool is, knowing what to eat to keep and sustain your body but keeping you healthy. The life expectancy of many in the world is low, why? Because the food people eat is eliminating them from the face of the earth. What does growth mean to you?, knowing and choosing the right and being disciplined on eating and drinking the correct foods and liquids. Keep and treasuring your one body, because to grow and become that older individual you must maintain. As always be you, and I be me.

Time

"Even your shadow can tell time". Time flies and time waits for no one, every second and minute of the hour is precious. Time when used wisely its benefits can bring forth naturing and abundance of progress. Be realistic and look at your own shadow. Notice at how fast it changes positions and angles. These changes and more show and tell how fast the day goes by. "Even your shadow can tell time", respect and appreciate time and the day. Seize the moment to accomplish your goals. As always be you, and I be me.

The Rock

"Rock solid as a mountain". Never fear another being, but watch their moves. Some people are sketchy and unpredictable, well for the most. To stay away from such vile and envious individuals who wish nothing but fail on others, all you have to do is keep your guards up. Be careful and not get paranoid, still find that moment to laugh and feel free in your soul. "Rock solid as mountain", unless you are a hill then the situation will be different. Take time to test your faith and strength, as always be you, and i be me.

You are your best friend

You are your best friend and confidante.Take time to have a conversation with yourself about life, situations and moments. Open up your heart and tap into that world that you dare not visit. Filter and delete unwanted archives in your heart and brain, by so doing you are creating space and enabling yourself to reach and see deep within you. And guess what? the more clearer your world becomes the easier it becomes to converse with yourself. Establish that organic chemistry between you and yourself. By the time you allow others to come into your world, you won't have to worry about any bugs or virus crushing your system down. Remember, only you can safeguard your world. Everyday morning and night time talk with yourself and be thankful for all thats great and done. Be you, and i be me. Unlike ·

Stop!!

While you are whining and complaining about your less achieved moments. Someone out there is acknowledging and doing something about those less achieved moments. Instead of crying about it, be men and women enough to accept, face it and move on with life. Better yet,do something about it. In life we are given so many chances regardless of the one life we have. Be you and I be me.

Legacy

Many want to be remembered in a special way after they pass to the world of the unknown. But for that to happen you must do good on earth and leave behind a legacy. What kind of fortune are you investing and where are you investing that fortune. Its not about the money and resources but the love, trust, faith and purity of life that we all strive for. Do you share a positive experience, do you acknowledge your weakness and turn it to strength while uplifting the people around you?. As people we have our work cut out for us, all we need to do is have a mission for each day we wake up. What is your everyday goal and do you achieve that goal at the end of the day's sunshine?. Do you want to be remembered for your beauty or brains? or do you want to be remembered for your humility and advocacy for change. Maintain your cohesion and follow your dreams. One day your dream will come to existence, even after you have passed, that legacy of humility and change will live on. What is your legacy and how do you want to be remembered? be you and i be me.

Who are you?

Who are you and what is your purpose? Are you able to identify yourself if not recognize your image, actions and existence?. Do you undermine yourself but opt to believe what people say and see in you?. But what they see and say about you is it always true of you?. These question and more are a base to unravelling and exposing the truth to you about yourself. Don't hide that beautiful being that you are, don't hold back that magical voice. You have masked and camouflaged your true identity therefore diffusing and destabilizing your well being. Your true image and personality is underneath and skin deep, your true voice is embedded in your heart and your true presence is under that mask. Remove that mask and embrace that bare character, trust and believe that when you start acknowledging who you are, there is going to be a difference in your world. Be you and I be me

Chance

Understand, realize, accept that not everything stays the same. Open your mind and your state of perception. Allow change to be the determining factor. Give life a chance, besides you already have a life. Live and enjoy it, be bald and be adventurous but be cautious. Stay out of comfort zones and be willing to take a risk. Life is for the living and living is for all. Be you and I be me.

Happy New year

At the start of the year, we are all writing a new chapter in book of life. How you write depends on your passion, dedication and commitment to prevailing over challenges. When the rain falls, it cleans and washes away negative energy. In nature, rain wipes away debris on the streets, dams, lakes and oceans alike. Find your rain and let it refresh your world with new positive energy. No matter how many times you have re-written your book, tell yourself that it’s a new day, change is nigh and there will be progress. Life is a race, do you know what kind of race you are running? If it is a marathon, do you have the endurance to complete it? If it is a sprint, do you have that aerodynamics and fitness needed to withstand the opposing winds? Maybe you are running a relay, but do you know who your partners are? And do you have the skills to pass the baton while running at top speed? Whether you win your race or lose it, learn something from the experience and file it away in your book of life. Here at Inspiration with Natty, we wish you and yours a happy, healthy and blessed New Year. Be you, and I be me.

Be ever ready

Arriving at a new destination can be a challenge if you are not prepared for what may lie ahead. This may cost you time and energy, sometimes it may throw you out of focus. Always brace and prepare yourself ahead of time, establish a stronger and balanced internal and physical base. This way no matter what may fall your way, guess what? you will be able to gentle bend, pick it up and throw it to the side of the road. And your journey to finding your antennas and stability will continue. Stay prepared and not depend on surprises, or else you will be the one perplexed by the unknown.Be you and i be me.

You are worth

Value and remind yourself everyday that you are worth more than anything in this world. Wether you sleep out on the street, went to bed without eating a proper dinner or you are sick to the grave. Guess what? You are still priceless. What you are and what you bring to this world is irreplaceable. No- one can posses the qualities you share and show. Remember, there is only one you and that makes you special and unique. Value yourself and never use momentary value. Money has no effect on your worthy. Be you and I be me.

Madiba

Do we mourn or do we share a smile that we all can acknowledge?. It is a smile that has a deeper meaning behind it. The passing of Nelson Mandela does not come as a surprise, why? because the man has fought the illness for a very long time. The prayers from South Africans and from many around the world were heard and Mandela continued to live on after the global scare that he was terminally ill. I always say "Life is for the living and living is for those that still walk on this earth". Mandela lived, walked, experienced, fought, taught, became an example to African and Western leaders. The people of South Africa gained wisdom in understanding that as people regardless of the skin color and race, we all can make this world a better place. As a South African, African and son of the soil. I say thank you, thank you, thank you Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela. I am saddened by his passing but my sadness is outweighed by joy and smiles,why because the old man lived a life no other man will ever live. He opened doors for all races in South Africa to embrace and appreciate being human and practicing humanity. All people of South Africa today may we recognize and understand that his life impacted not only Africans but the world at large. He death has opened another book that will be read for as long as we live. May his soul rest in peace and his legacy will never be forgotten. "Lala kahle Madiba"Be you and i be me.

Optimism

It's easy to get discouraged and loose hope. The moment that thought knocks we immediately tell ourselves that we can't do it anymore let alone try. What someone else is saying or doing let it not be a weapon against you, appreciate you and only you. Be you and I be me,

In progress

We are a work in progress, we are never finished with what we need in our lives to complete who we are. We are a never ending project, everyday we establish a different landscape, page, sketch, prototype and what ever best exemplifies the personality that best suits the being that you are. Some people completed their rough sketch while they were young, at this present moment what they are doing is constantly embellishing and modifying their life project with love and respect for man kind. This is not to say they are not a work in progress, they just have made their job easy. As for some they are now finding who they are, the project is more intense and bigger than the thought of finding who they are. Again, they will still make that prototype and put it to a test, being that its reality the prototype will undergo numerous and intense tests.The truth is, for the prototype to qualify it may take years if not lifelong tests. We are a work in progress, some are fortunate to understand the type of progress we achieve at an early age, while some come to grips with the whole progress way later,but that's not to say they can't make it work. Being that we are a work in progress, what it's going to take is capitalizing on time and space to come to grips with reality. We are a work in progress, never turn your back away from this project, either way you will still come back and face the same structure, model or whatever you are building or creating with your life. Best you create and allow time to determine if the pieces come together, as compared to leaving the project and start something else. As said the life project is a continuous endeavor that requires attention and perfection of self. Build yourself and create the person you need to be first, this is before you start creating and building another person. We are a work in progress and a progress in the making. Be you and I be me.

Challenges

Who are we without challenges, where can we be without being tested of our strengths?. Each day as it comes and goes we endure different obstacles, its these obstacles that determine and let us know if we are one with our mind body, spirit and soul. Do you run away or avoid challenges? truth of the matter is, you run away and the challenge becomes a problem, now you are dealing with a double jeopardy. This means you have to first succumb to the problem which now requires more mental strength and attention. Thereafter you need to face the challenge, but by now what is happening is that, the time used dealing with both the problem and the challenge has been compromised. Basically we need to face the challenges and continue on our path, think of it as 'Pac-Man' the game. The more the enemies change color the faster you become and you are able to squash them out. But watch out that they don't turn back to their original colors and start getting back at you. Everyday you wake up know that the game has just begun, its not until you close your eyes at night that you know if you have succeeded to go to the next stage. Though the everyday stages in reality can change during the course of the 12hours from when we go to sleep. But if you face every challenge like a champion and fight a winning battle, then you have zero worries except facing and dealing with negative attitudes. Test yourself and create challenges, face challenges and let challenges confront you. Be strong, focused, alert, aware, confident, accepting and above all if not most of all trust yourself. Be you and i be me. 1

Mirroring

Stay warm and keep the smile on your face. Because the person you are today is the person you will see tomorrow and the day after when you look in the mirror. Today is a blessed day and tomorrow is another given day. Love, live, let and enjoy every minute of your existence. Because out there, somebody is mirroring the beauty and poise you posses. That one person lives and cares for you, more so inspired by your presence. We all have that one or two empty spaces in our lives, it's either we allow others to fill up those spaces with positive energy or we fill them ourselves by empowering and lifting ourselves up. Time moves slowly at times and swiftly at some moments. When we look back in our lives we always say" i remember the time when...". time plays a significant role. Time helps us identify moments and situations in our lives. Lets simply say time is our life-mark. The memories embedded in these time travels have nothing but memories to look back at and appreciate love and being loved by the people around us. Be wise to know that it's the simple things that change the atmosphere and environment. Be the change and the change will be you. Be you and I be me.

Reflecting

We are slowly but surely approaching the end of year, a lot has happened in our lives. Some moments have been good, sad, unexpected, surprises, heartbreaks to reunions. The list goes on and on, but the one thing that remains is that, each and every one of us has confronted a life changing moment within the last 10months. Many have had life changes due to these moments, wether for good or bad, the bottom line is that the alteration has come with its life lessons. The question at hand is, have you been a part of a life changing moment for somebody out there?. have you touched or shared through your kindness, humility and respect. A few of us have shared all of the above and more. As we wrap up the these two months, do your part and help someone as well as help look inside yourself and appreciate the giving individual that is in you. Like the song says 'We are the world, we are the children" we all know the song, yes we are children of this earth, mother earth smiles every day when we touch someone with positive energy. Change the world or be changed, Be you and i be me.

Esteem

If you lack self esteem and confidence in general, I am afraid you can't inherit that. You have to understand yourself and know who you are. Your presence should symbolize a strong and a healthy you. Don't be present just to belong or feel forced to fit in the picture. Have courage to stand by your word, your posture say and tells a lot about who you are. Stand tall and let your foot steps be as solid on the ground, the firmer the footprints the less the chances the rain will wash the footprints away.Be able to talk the walk and walk the talk yes Johnny Walker way...-:). In all be you and I be me. 1
