Say NO in NOvember

Say NO in NOvember

Quote of the day

‘It is hard to say no when temptation comes upon you. It is hard to say no when an opportunity awaits you. It hard to say no because you like to be polite. Today I want to tell you it is time to stand up and say no.’

White Rabbit! White Rabbit! White Rabbit! A very, very divine welcome to Sunday the 1^st of November 2015. Welcome to a new month, the 11th month of 2015. We are now 60 days away from the New Year. Are you ready to embrace it with grace? How we embrace a New Year lies entirely in how we prepare for it in the previous Year. You cannot create mental goals on New Year’s Eve and expect them to work for you. This then becomes an annual fad. Creating those golden goals also termed New Year’s Resolutions takes time and makes all the difference to your future. It gives you on overall vision of what 2016 will be for you. That difference is a noted difference where you start to feel more relaxed, less stressed and generally quite contented with your life. Our theme for November is ‘Say NO in NOvember’. The reason for choosing such a theme is to help to motivate you to achieve your goals. Inspiration allows you to dream beyond your imagination. Inspiration allows you to create golden goals that makes all the difference to the years ahead of you. To live with kindness, happiness, tenderness and long term success will always ensure longevity. Surely it is only correct to have the mind-set to live onto 100 years and to serve our Heavenly Father as sole and responsible custodians of our living world? Saying NO makes you aware of the negative aspects of your life even though you don’t partake in it. For example although you don’t smoke when offered a cigarette you generally say NO but sometimes the temptation may prompt you to say YES. By applying the NO formula you can actually focus on your goals like never before. It is hard to refuse a fresh cream cake especially a slice of chocolate gateaux layered with dollops of fresh cream and cherries. Temptation is manufactured in an irresistible fashion luring you to do the wrong things. Therefore applying the NO formula stimulates you to do the right thing. The formula is simple. NO opposes Nastiness and Offences. NO opposes Negativity and Oppression. So when you come face to face to a temptation think seriously of the consequences. If it is ANGER than the consequences of such an emotion is rage, ire and fury resulting in broken friendships, imprisonment and remorse. Always remember the NO formula. NO = NO to Nastiness and Offences. Time wasting on trivial matters can lead to serious consequences. You achieve nothing by implementing nastiness to the world at large. Nastiness is untold cruelty to another human being or another living organism. Nastiness is meanness to another human being taking the form of bullying, abuse, violence and infliction. Nastiness is spite at the tip of your tongue saying words that hurt people. Nastiness is malice of an unprecedented level that can make countries go to war. Nastiness is unkindness to the core creating rifts between married couples, families and friends.  Nastiness is heartlessness when you kill, maim or injure someone by your brutal hands or a gun or a knife. Nastiness is ruthlessness when you defraud the Taxman, your working colleagues, your employees and your business associates. We need to visualise 2016 as a wonderful year for all. Can you imagine a planet free from harm, free from war, free from deforestation, free from anger, free from crime, free from nastiness, free from poverty, free from prostitution, free from illicit sex, free from binge drinking, free from drugs and free from the many disengagements in life? It all starts by saying NO in NOvember.

What is your problem?

What is your problem?

Quote of the day

‘Problems are man’s greatest difficulties. Everyone has a different problem and hence a different difficulty. The common denominator to all problems however is a solution. Solutions are key resolutions to your problems.’

We all have problems of some sort stuck up our sleeves, fearful to reveal them and tearful to overcome them. Problems come in all shapes and sizes but the common denominator to a problem is a solution. Solutions are a way out of the worst dilemmas or the most trivial matters. As I pen this article to you today timed at 21:00PM I know that I have several problems which often vexes my daily routine. Everyone has problems, some of their problems are small whilst others are big. I heard a lady speak of her ordeal on the radio today of how she was raped by 18 men in a single night. This is indeed a huge problem that occurs every second of the day. Problems spiral their way across the globe disharmonising peace and creating havoc. In Durban a child is burnt alive for no valid reason but certainly over confusion. On a lesser note my computer shuts down if it is left on for a long time, rebooting does not restore lost data. This is a technical problem that needs technical expertise. Yes, problems do come in various shapes and sizes. How do we overcome problems? We overcome problems by finding solutions. Solutions are like psychological tools that can be used to resolve, dissolve and absolve problems that afflicts you. Problem resolve is what you need to aim for but first you need to know what the problem is. I could name a few but problems spiral into millions of tiny units that coalesce to form inhibitors in your life. Problems are drains in your life and solutions are radiators. Get to understand your problem and don’t keep them to your chest, you need to expose them. Help is always at hand but finding the right help that is associated with your problem can be difficult. You cannot seek assistance from a Baker to remedy your computer. You need an IT Specialist. You cannot talk to a motor mechanic about your ailment. You need to tap on the door that states the qualification of your consultant. Once a problem is resolved you then need to dissolve it. Dissolving a problem means that you do not want it to recur. Finally are you willing to absolve? In other words will you forgive your perpetrator? 

The World is at War - let us become The Peacemakers

‘The World is at War – let us become the Peacemakers’

Quote of the day

‘The Peacemaker of our living world is the one that calms the seas, soothes the tension and mediates disputes around the world. Peacemakers are not classified by age, gender or culture. Peacemakers are human beings that labour intensively by day and by night. Do you fit this category of interest?’

Everyday holds a sad event. Today it is about tension in Ukraine, an airstrike in Niger killing 12, a Tanzanian boy found mutilated, militants killing 4 Tanzanian policeman and there is abuse at a care home in the UK. What will tomorrow’s events hold? Dear Friends if you love your planet you will understand your role in life. Your role in life is to love your life and the occupants that occupy it. We are the sole custodians of our living world. We are The Peacemakers. You can be assured nothing we will go we if do things right. So why does the news headlines on a daily basis show otherwise. Human Greed has created The Troublemakers. Troublemakers do things wrong and therefore shed chaos in the corridors of the living world. Let us create a list of common human demeanours. There is rape, torture, terror, kidnapping, violence, war, conflict, disputes, arguments, abuse, diseases, pestilence, poverty, hunger, recession, depression, oppression, vandalism, hooliganism, robberies, gang warfare, hijacking, deforestation, pollution, devastation of flora and fauna species and a variety of disengagements that brings terror and instability to our lives. Why would all of these anomalies occur? They do because men and women have become greedy, not just from today or from tomorrow but since The Garden of Eden. Dear Friends I urge you to think of your responsibilities and live by them to ensure a distinct reduction in our Greed that ultimately leads to devastation, damnation, starvation, temptation, negation, frustration, infestation, segregation, suffocation, adulteration, fornication, exploitation, humiliation, retaliation, victimisation, dehumanisation, demoralisation, contamination or intoxication. Identify your actions on an hourly basis. You don’t have to go to war but you can prevent it. The world is at war already. The conflict at home breaks homes on a daily basis. The combat on street corners or on playgrounds at school can seriously maim or kill. The fighting in countries around the world kill innocence civilians that have lost their right to live. The confrontation in politics weakens democracy. The competition in business creates enemies. The rivalry in the corridors of our world has grown out of control. The feud amongst neighbours have become habitual. The battle to save endangered species of life is growing old. The struggle for equality is becoming harder and harder. The campaign to reduce abuse seems to be a difficult passage. We need to stop the hostility and lessen the volatility. We need to start with ourselves and come to terms with our anger. We need to monitor our actions and acknowledge our responsibilities. We need to this daily. We need to change the future for the better and end the war. I am going to try to do my level best. I urge you to join me on a campaign to save our planet.
