I wonder...

If i were to be someone else looking into my life, would i be proud of the person that i am? they say the true measure of a man is what he would do if he knew he would never get caught, its in what he does behind closed doors, all alone... and only God and the individual really know what happens... so would i be proud of what i do when i am alone if i were to look into my life from the eyes of someone else? would i even do what i do behind closed doors if i knew someone else could see me??

if my thoughts could be amplified for the whole world to hear, would i be proud of me? would i want the whole world to really know what i think and what i say to myself? would this world still be the same place if everyone could tell what the next person was thinking? i think not...

why then do we go around saying things that are not a true reflection of our thoughts, why then do we do things that we do not want the rest of the world to see and know about? after all it is written that on Judgement Day, everything that happened in secret shall be revealed... why then do we keep secrets if they are going to be revealed in the end?

well i guess everything has its repercussions and if people were brutally honest, there would be other issues to deal with! but wouldn't it be better? wouldn't that take away a lot of the conflict and love-hate relationships that are a result of people not being honest to each other?

so how do we get past all the dishonesty and two-facedness that is all around? i really wonder and i guess i will wonder for a long time, but i guess what really matters and what we should all understand and remember is that one day, one fine day everything shall be revealed...

Don't give up on me yet...

I am not the wisest of all mankind
Neither am i the c;everest
But all i know is that i am trying my best to be the best version of me
So please, don't give up on me yet.

I am trying as hard as i can!
I am faced with challenges along the way
But all i know is that i am trying my best to overcome them
So please, don't give up on me yet.

I don't know what the future holds
Or what i will face in tomorrow
But all i know is that i will try my best not to let you down
So please, don't give up on me yet.

Best believe...

I really thought this week was gonna be the most hectic week of my academic life, and i had pronounced it the worst week of my UCT life... but i guess life has a way of sorting itself out! well its still the most hectic week of my academic life, but it is not a bad week at all... so much good has happened in the last 12 hours, i could live on the high from these incidences for the rest of the week!!

guess dreams do come true at some point and what we hope and wish for comes through and it happens at an appointed time! i think all the things that have happened in the past 12 hours have happened now for a specific reason! if these things had happened last week or the week before, i wouldn't have appreciated them the way i appreciate them right now! but because i am going through a hectic time, the simplest things have happened and they have taken me from the depths of misery to the heights of pure happiness!

i now truly believe that things happens for a reason and they happen when they are meant to... no matter how hard we try and wish for things to happen in our own time, our Father in heaven knows why he does not grant these things in our time, but in His own time... so best believe that God has got your back and He knows what he's planning for you, and he surely knows when these things are to happen... so when things dont seem to be going your way, or when the future looks really dark, hang tight, it will all come together in the end!

i still have a hectic week, i still have lots to do, but i'm gonna do it with a happy smile and not the gloomy frown i've had for the past two days

so hang tight, sunshine is coming!! Best believe...

Love...

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
But when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The simplest things

All the simple things that are the most important things in life are right before my eyes. All i have to do is open my eyes and take the time to absorb and consider that i really do have everything i need and everything i will ever need, but not necessarily everything i want.

Happiness lies in the simplest things and it is only in realising this that i will find true happiness! It's in listening to that quiet voice deep withing, its in smiling at the next person, it's in dancing to that song in my heart, it's in loving unconditionally, it's in singing my favorite song, it's in sharing what i have, it's in listening to the people around me, it's in working to the best of my ability, it's in living my life in the best way that i can... it's in all these things that i find happiness, and at the end, when i look back on my life, i will smile and say i did my best. Whatever the outcome, at least i tried!

and so i will sing, dance, smile, live, laugh, love, share, give, work, pray and be the best version of me that i can be nomatter what the circumstances, so help me God...
