"The Devil Is A Liar"

-
I don't go to church but I love the saying: the devil is a liar. Basically it means, one will not be deterred in pursuing their passions regardless of what others around them do; at least that is my interpretation. The devil, a.k.a. haters, gets a bad reputation but we need the devil to push forward. So, thank the devil for the success you are hopefully enjoying!

I know the irony of my above statements, but think about it: would you be as determined if you did not have obstacles in your life? Maybe, maybe not! Our character shows when we are faced with adversity and not when everything is going smoothly in our lives. But without those tests (obstacles) you would never develop resistance, tenacity and the strength you need to see yourself through. So, despite our hate of the devil, it is a necessary ingredient to our success, at least most of us.

Let me illustrate with an example. Can you build muscles without resistance training? I guess if you use steroids I don't know but I'm asking those who succeed in life through hard work rather than cheating or those who are #blessed with great genes. Most of us need resistance training to build strong muscles the same way we need the devil to succeed. So, embrace the resistance, I mean the devil, and keep pushing through!

The devil has so many faces! It can come in the form of fake "friends" (they always think they are so smart lol), family members who don't support you, your corporate boss who is refusing to promote you or an ISP (internet service provider) that throttles your service (Lol I know you did not see that one coming!) but your job is to keep your eye on the goal and keep pushing!

Your success does not depend on the devil (the haters), but they are the wind SOMETIMES you need to keep moving forward. You know the song, "You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings", yep that is what haters are, that is the service they provide. So my friends, shame the devil by working harder and smarter than you ever worked and watch it eat crow LOL!

What Teen Pregnancy Taught Me About Life

-
Image
When I found out I was pregnant at sixteen I was in a hospital and had just woken up from a train accident I had two days before. I could not believe that I was pregnant; I was in total shock. Looking back now I did not spend even an ounce of energy thinking about how bad my situation was and how hard life was about to become for me; I thought about how I could make this work. Having grown up in abject poverty and apartheid era violence, surviving was ingrained in me and the total sum of my experiences had prepared me for the moment. I knew that I had to dig deep in me to find the strength to realize my goals. At sixteen, I was not ready to be a mother and finding out I was pregnant could have derailed my life. Instead of letting the situation take me off my path, I did what I've always done with any situation: I took the lessons I could use and moved forward. Before I found out I was pregnant I was a member of the Student Representative Council in our school, a member of ...

  My Kitchen When it comes to selecting a refrigerator for your home, you have a variety of options to choose from.

The people of real Wakanda are omnivores. Their diet is rich in carbohydrates and protein. They eat a balanced whole food diet. They do not eat processed foods. Because they work really hard and are always moving this diet is suitable for them. People of Wakanda grow their own foods that are suitable for their semi-arid climate. They grow their food organically without chemicals that destroy the land. As I said, they are environmentalists at heart. They value and respect the land that grows the food they consume. Since the beginning of time, the people of Wakanda have depended on the soil for their survival. Every family in the Wakandaland own a patch of land they use to grow food for their family. They grow foods like corn, beans, vegetables, and grass for their animals which are important source of labor for their food production. Animals are important to the people of Wakanda not because they are good source of labor but because they are a great part of their ancestral worsh...
