The meaning of life

When we look around us today we can see troubles from everywhere. We become so saddened about the things that are happening in our societies, communities, nation and the world as a whole. When did people become so ruthless, loveless, uncompassionate , no feelings of regret?

It is especially sad when we hear women and children are abused or went missing. It's like there is no more love among people. We become so fearful of the animosity among our people and the constant fighting against each other. It brings me to the question:" What is the meaning of all this?"

Is it Ok that things are like it is? Must we accept it like this?

We are so focused on the ones that got hurt that we forget about the one who did it. It leads me to the wonder of why?? What went wrong in that person's life to go to such an extreme to feel no regret of what he/ she did to someone else. It is heartbreaking because that person is also someone's child. He /she is so damaged if they go to such events of attacks or bringing destructions. 

The majority feels no remorse for the perpetrators. They became so angry and hateful that they forget that that individual is also human.

Don't understand it wrong. Wrong is wrong and should be dealt accordingly by law. But the concern is also on the one who committed the incident.

Does life have such little meaning to people that we must destroy each other now?. Are  there nothing valuable in our lifes that we treasure?

So many things we are chasing. Whether it is money, fame, promotion, marriage,  children, work, wealth,  health.  All is within reach and we can work ourselves almost to death to accomplish these all.All of the accomplishments, desires,  dreams and aspirations are part of us. And we are having access to chasing it down. But what of all these things fall away. What then?

Then we are faced with each other everyday . Forced to communicate, having shared opinions about issues, fixing relationships that were broken years ago.

Many people still lives in bondage because of past experiences. We cant move forward if we keep on going  halfway in our relationships. These relationships consists of family relationships, church-, social-, friends-, work- and even our day to day relationships with total strangers.

Where the problem comes in is when we believe the stuff are more important than the person. If we can start to invest in our relationships, it will be the beginning of fixing issues we are dealing with. There is no quick fix in life and everything is going to be a process.

Growing up we were taught values by our parents, teachers, preachers etc which all form part of us becoming beter individuals. It assist us in making better choices. Yes we do make mistakes because we are not perfect but what is important is that we learn from our mistakes.

There is a reason people become the way they are right now.  They are constantly on the lookout to bring destruction, pain to others. Something happened along the way and they never got help or influence to bring them on the correct path again. Sometimes we also look the other way when we see things out of the ordinary and we never make an effort to spend time with such individuals. We are each others keepers here on earth.

My child is your child and the communities child to raise. It is never to late to start afresh to get back to the basic values of life.

Everything in life has no certainty. It is all dependent on time and an  opportunity. When you invest your TIME in someones life to better their circumstances. When you cease the OPPERTUNITY to assist a family going through an abusive relationship.

The meaning of life is that we  brought nothing into this life and we can take nothing when we are gone. What we have now is the time given as a gift and what we do with it lies with us all. We all play a part to the things that happening around us. It is therefore time to stand together and pray for those been afflicted. 

Those who need mercy and hope. Lets not turn a blind eye for those in need. Tommorow it can also be on of your family members.

Become more Aware of what is happening around you. This will lead to you making better Choices which will in the end bring better Results.

Jy is spesiaal!

Soms wonder jy of jy genoeg is? Of jy mooi genoeg is, slim genoeg is, ryk genoeg is of self invloedryk genoeg is. Dit kan jou dan laat wonder of jy ooit spesiaal genoeg is om te wees waar jy jouself bevind. Tog kan jy nie help dat jy gebore is in die familie wat jy het of dat jy in die dorp, stad is waar jy is. Veral as jong dogter of seun wat nie vir hulle self werk en sorg. Jy is nog afhanklik van ma en pa en soms wil jy so haastig klaar maak met skool om onder hulle sorg weg te beweeg.  Tog as jy wel wegbreek besef jy dat dit maar altyd beter en soms lekkerder by die huis was as wat jy nou op jou eie is. Hier waar jy nou self moet uit haal en wys en verantwoordelikheid moet opneem vir jou eie lewe. As jongmeisie of seun het jy weer ander uitdagings soos bv  wat jy nou eintlik uit die lewe wil hĂȘ. Jy scroll op social media en hou ander mense dop en wil dan soos hulle wees of self die goed he wat hulle het. Tog weet jy dat jy dit nie kan beskostig nie. Dan kom die vraag weer....

Dreams can come true

Do you have a dream so bad that you would do anything to achieve it?. Before you can answer this question I would like to know ," how far are you in accomplishing it"? It is fine to have a dream but it is another story to make that dream into a reality. How bad do you want it? We get to realise that it is the things in life that brings value by the small contributions we make towards others.This does not necessarily need to be money or material things but just a smile, compassion or a listening ear will mean the world to those in emotional pain. We all have a part to play in serving one another. It does not only have to be in church but it is actually outside the four walls of church where the real church should happen. You and me being the church to someone.  In doing the things we love and things that make us tick we discover our purpose on earth. We sometimes want things to hit us like thunder to discover our purpose on earth whereas it has been with you the whole time. Ev...

Life-changing investment

In 5 months time it will be 10 years ago when everything changed. I found myself looking for answers in all the wrong places. Partying, drinking and thinking I am having the time of my life. Involved in a relationship that I did not think was important until I realised I'm playing with someone's heart. This time around  it was not just someone who are here for temporary fun but someone who actually saw a future with me. For someone who have been hurt multiple times this was a reality shock and I realise I was on the wrong path. I thought I could play with people's feelings because of the hurt and disappointment in relationships I had in the past and thought  I could do it with anyone and move on. This was truly a reality check for me. The realisation of being on the wrong path drove me to searching for a place where I could go and praise God again. I have drifted slowly and surely away from the house of the Lord since I moved away from home. I have explored the world throug...
