Fight vs Flight


In a boxing match there is usually two people who are getting into a ring to battle against each other for a prize. There can only be one winner. During this time the fight and flight impulses kick in. One will constantly opt to fight (remain standing or getting up) or to flight (remain on the ground and give up).

Are you currently facing a fight or flight situation?

It can be anything from:

·                 Should I continue with the studies when it seems impossible?

·                 Must I stay in this relationship even if it brings so much tears?

·                  How do I keep the peace in the family?

·                 Do I keep working under bad working conditions?

·                  How do a face unbearable meetings within the work environment?

·                   Do I give up on my son or daughter?

·                   Do I fight for my marriage?

There a numerous battles we must fight daily. It is not always easy to find a solution to the problem. It will require you to make a decision: fight or flight?

On my path I had to decide to either give up on getting a job or continue to search for one. I had to make a choice of taking the life changing job opportunity or rather too remain at home with my one-year-old. I had to decide to take a chance on love again after multiple heartaches. I had to make a decision to move to another province or remain in my comfort zone because of fear of the unknown. All of my choices at the end worked out for my good.

Today I can look back and reflect on the fight and flight scenarios. There were many times that I wanted to flight but then I would not have been where I am today.  Where we are today are the results of the choices we made on our life’s journey.

What are you facing today? Are you going to fight or flight?

Fight for what you believe in and hold on to your values. Go after your dreams and aspirations with all your heart, soul and mind and you will definitely see the results thereof. Take that leap of faith to accomplish what you were destined for. We are made to be creative and to grow and not to remain stagnate. The power lies within us.

Let as fight together!

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 hê. 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...
