Everyday is a new beginning

Everyday is a new beginning. It truly is. Yesterday’s concerns are for yesterday. The rising of the sun is symbolic of so many things. New beginnings, change, opportunities etc.No one knows what is in store for you tomorrow when you wake up.

I learn new things everyday. I take the experiences that i have had and look at myself and analyse how much i have developed.It is in taking each day at a time that we can be balanced.God is truly merciful and is graceful to us. When i first started working with Weza Solange i was sure i knew what to do and how to do my job well. I had experience working with MultiChoice but even that was not enough. I was challenged everyday and till this day i am learning so many things from her. The day i met her was a new beginning. I see it so clearly now.

There are days that i can’t make sense of. That drives me NUTS. I am used to knowing what lies ahead and planning for it, so when things don’t go my way it is not a place i want to be. In business i have also had new beginnings that started with a simple email or phone call. In business you have to have your attitude in check at all times. Once in a while you will drop the ball but it should not affect your relationship with clients.

On days where i cannot understand what is happening i take a break.I work from home therefore if i want to shut down i just take a nap for a few minutes. In the African culture it used to be a taboo for a woman to sleep in the afternoon. I was born in a different era and sleep is important. It is how i inhale moments of confusion, sadness etc. Just the other day i missed my father and seeing his picture on my desktop made me realise that he was gone and there was nothing i could say or do about it. The feeling was so overwhelming that i just shut down my laptop and went into my board room and took a nap. I literally cried myself to sleep with hurt and questions that no one to answer. After taking a nap I know when i wake up my mind is alert and refreshed and i start all over again and see how to go forward. I went to a boarding school and taking a nap on weekends was forced on us , so since then it has become my haven for resolving my “issues”.

The best way to end a day is with PRAYER The best way to start a day is with PRAYER

The best way to start your tasks and duties is to know that anything can happen. BE PREPARED. The struggle then becomes consistency. My game in terms of consistency is still work in progress. Each new day has challenges, beautiful relationships can blossom out of the blue on any given day. Always make sure that you acknowledge how you feel and don’t sweep things under the carpet.If you can help it call a friend and deal with whatever is on your mind.You will be surprised how even the most trivial things in life can become so big and before you know it they blow out of proportion.

Each day is an opportunity to love life and be grateful that you are ALIVE When you are still living you have a chance to say “i love you. You have a chance to say “I am sorry” You have a chance to have a WOW experience You have a chance to give your loved one a hug You have a chance to accomplish a goal You have a chance to watch someone smile and experience joy through someone else’s eyes. Isn’t that beautiful. The dead don’t have that.Cherish TODAY.

Have you ever noticed how from the moment you wake up the first thing you have on your hand is your phone. We allow things that don’t matter to matter. So what if you don’t check twitter for a day or log into Facebook or Whats-app? So what if you switch off the TV and Radio and just experience the silence around you? The world will not come to an end , even if it did can you save it , ALONE? You can’t. The world as we know evolves everyday. We make excuses that there id not enough time. Make time. It is there. How did Michael Jackson “heal the world”, how did Mother Theresa give so much and how did Jesus continue to save lives and to heal people? He also had 24 hours per day like you and i.

LOVE LIFE, LIVE IT, EXPERIENCE IT, CHERISH it and THANK GOD for preserving your life thus far.
