Don't hate, it is not worth it

Like it has been written before, there are elements and emotions that only waste mankind’s precious time, energy and the opportunity to prosper.
The problem lies not in those emotions, but rather in man himself. Although mankind is aware that it is easier to feel negative than to engage in meaningful behaviour, he still allows himself to indulge in that self-defeating tendencies, like hatred. Hate is one of those emotions Don’t hate, it is not worth it
Like it has been written before, there are elements and emotions that only waste mankind’s precious time, energy and the opportunity to prosper.
The problem lies not in those emotions, but rather in man himself. Although mankind is aware that it is easier to feel negative than to engage in meaningful behaviour, he still allows himself to indulge in that self-defeating tendencies, like hatred. Hate is one of those emotions espoused by man, though it is clear to everyone that nothing meaningful is derived from it. Or is this opinion false or wrong?
Let us sit down and look closely at this emotion. Hate is simply a tendency to want to loathe and detest someone or something. During the process the action is, most of the time, one-sided. Only the person who switches on hatred drives and feels the emotion. During that time, when hatred is in full-cry, they think nothing beautiful or prosperous against the perceived enemy. The enemy, on the other hand, is, maybe, oblivious to the activity directed towards them. And if they knew or were aware, they might as well ignore it because, frankly, they have nothing to do with it. Not that if they knew they would have something to do with it.
Let us go back to you. If indeed you have hated in the past, please share with us the good news. We are interested to know how did hating appease you? And did the offending person or object perish? We think not. The only person who suffered was you. Almost all the hated people and material are not on your person, and even if you hated your nose, what difference would it make? There is nothing you can do about it. The best remedy is to forget it, accept that is the way God created you and get on with your life.
Do not hate anyone because they do not love you. What do you lose in this regard? You still have your love intact, at least. You can still give it to someone deserving of it. Why do you hate the lady down the road because she said this and that about you? How about your productive colleague whom you wish was fired? Does your own work prosper because of the burning hatred inside of you?
No, you do not rectify matters by hating anyone. Instead hatred gnaws at your ability to think rationally. People who know of your hatred and are great thinkers start to steer away from you, for they detect this malignant disease eating at your heart.
There are simply no rewards for hatred. From now on accept the inevitable and pursue prosperity only. Why do you choose loosing emotions like hatred?
There is only one thing I want to declare right now. I love you all regardless of your standing to me. Thank you.

Give due praise

This must be one of the easiest things to do in life, giving praise to fellow friends, lovers, children and colleagues and all mankind. But alas, so many people think, sometimes, that it is a curse to do so.
Mankind, as it is prescribed by the Creator, must at all times strive to better all human activities around him.
That is why God bestowed each man with different disciplines from the next person. No one of mankind has all the talents and skills God can give, we are all different from one another. When all of us are involved in innovation, invention and service delivery then mankind prospers a million fold.
While there have been many breakthroughs in our lives because of brilliant inventions and creations, others have fallen by the wayside. There are races that proclaim to have taken civilization to a higher level while they denigrate other races and continents. Nearer to us there are acquaintances who have strove to raise their lives and improve their profiles. While we have applauded others, we have also failed to give due praise where it was necessary to do so. When we deny others praise because we fail to observe the beauty of their lives we also deny ourselves happiness and the ability to move forward as individuals, as a community and as a nation. Who knows, how far above could the lady down the road who is now a mere cashier at a supermarket could be had she been given all the encouragement and praise for the studious scholar she was earlier in her life? She might have been your child’s role model to be an astronaut. That hobo at the corner could have been a brilliant entrepreneur if his wife had supported his efforts.
How many parents know what exactly what their children are doing at school? How many of them have taken their child by the hand to accompany them to the child’s role model? Or even to the parent’s role model?
Who of us give praise our parents for the way they bring us up? Which couple exchanges words of praise and accolades for the love God gave them and their ability to stick to that love and their adherence to the pledge love one another?
It is now time to stop taking mankind for granted. The time has come to look whoever you adore in the eye and give praise for who they are and for the beautiful efforts they undertake to make life wonderful.
Envy has never been kind to mankind nor has it been man’s greatest asset. It is a tsunami-like phenomenon. Throw it into the trash basket where it belongs. Be a wonderful person, give accolades all-round.

Believe in the "I'

You will agree with me that if you really believed in your abilities you could have already achieved a lot of the dreams that you always haboured.
Now that you agree with me that failure to achieve much in your life was caused by the inability to believe in yourself, what remedies should we put in place to counteract the disbelief in your ‘I’?
What is belief? That must surely be the first discussion that we must engage in. Those of us who follow the Christian faith will know of an instance where God asked the world to believe in His begotten Son. It must be noted is that what God asked for is an emotional state of the mind. It is not a tangible object that you can buy or get from someone. You do not apply for it to be delivered from somewhere, nor are you expected to write an examination to achieve belief. No, belief is a decision taken by an individual after careful consideration in an element they want to put their faith in. With God there is nothing to examine, nor even in Jesus Christ. God is the creator and it is logical that the world must believe in Him.
Now for you to believe in your goals you must examine what goals are they and what are you going to use to achieve them. In this instance, your ability is the main point of focus. Do you believe in your abilities? If not, then look closely at the abilities you want to use to attain your particular dreams.
In the past it was suggested that you must know what your talents, skills, techniques and so forth are. You must also put your attitude under the microscope. Don’t haphazardly pu goals on paper without checking the vehicle you are going to use to attain them. You also need to know who will help you get there.
Network, know your ‘comrades-in-arms’. In life you can never achieve alone. Yes, you are alone, sometimes, when you do some of these things, but you need a synchronized effort from others. If you read about Motsepe, you will discover that there are people he would like to thank for their contribution in making him what he is now. Branson has influence all over, but surely he believed in the ability to sell himself before he made big in business. Khanyisile Dlomo(she has a new surname now)knows exactly what ability will win her contracts to make Ndalo formidable, and so does Motaung at Chiefs.
Do not be misguided like Mugabe is. He is using an immoral ability to achieve a dream that faded decades ago. Mandela, on the other hand, believed in his conviction that he wanted to play a part in getting rid of racial injustice in SA. Illegal goals and the misuse of abilities are not permitted because they are in conflict with society and God.
Go on and write down your abilities that you believe in, and then note the goals you can achieve with those abilities. Network and fortify your claim to fame and stardom. Now act, and start your journey to the North Star.
