Alone is lonely

Many times when we want to do things, we find it so hard to trust people so we keep it all to ourselves and try to do everything alone. In most cases, doing this limits growth and this makes us want to give up because we feel like failures. One thing I’ve learned is that being alone is lonely. For obvious reasons there are some dreams and visions that we must keep in confidence, however asking others who have done what you want to embark on or who are doing something similar, can be of great help. You might not tell all or any of them your exact plans, but you are asking questions, learning from their mistakes and it also opens your mind to see things from a different perspective. As the saying goes “no man is an Island”. It is so important we remember that. If not you’ll feel drained and overweighed by your dream and vision and you will eventually give up.

 In some cases, your dream cannot be manifested by you alone so you need to find a reliable team to help you bring it to life. Again, look for others who have put a team together or even those who are trying to and maybe you can exchange advise and get some tips on how to go about it. You can learn so much by networking and talking to others. Imagine Martin Luther King Jr kept his dream in confidence and never told anyone?! We will definitely be saying something different today. Remember you were given the dream so others can see the reality of it.

 Guard your dream from the pressures of life but do not smother your dream with the pressure of trying to do it alone- Mary Osho

I can because I am..

Life never ceases to amaze me

Different days, different situations

But I have the power

I have the power to look at these situations and take them head on

I have to the power to ensure that through me, dreams are made a reality

I don’t just want to live, I want to be different

I don’t just want to be different, I want to cause a difference

I ask myself is this possible?

Rosa was able to make a difference by simply sitting down on what she believed in

Kang Tongbi saw a problem in China and walked the journey to make it right

They are part of the many women who have lead the way

Now its my turn. Your turn. our turn

But it starts from within

From us believing in ourselves and not in what others say

Its more than just listening or thinking it, but living it mentally and physically

Knowing that I am in control of what my life becomes

Its up to me to decide whether I just want to be another woman

Another woman who had so much potential but failed to realise or act upon

Another woman who never saw the true beauty that she was blessed with

Another woman who was born, who lived, who died and is now forgotten

I need to believe in the power of my dreams

I need to believe in the power of my potential

Never will I let someone tell me I can’t

I can because I am...

Beauty

I woke up this morning and was getting ready. I did my hair and was putting on some makeup- nothing heavy. As I was applying it, I asked myself can I go out without makeup and the answer was yes but then I thought not everyone can say that. There are some of us females that will NOT leave the house unless we have makeup on; they believe makeup makes them beautiful and allows them to be noticed by others. I disagree! I love makeup and I’m an aspiring makeup artist however, the truth is that makeup adds to the beauty you have already. It allows certain features to be enhanced but if you did not have such features in the first place, there will be nothing to enhance. 

It's important to also remember that being beautiful is not only a physical thing- its also on the inside; many people are more focused about who you are as suppose to how you look. The way you look may attract individuals to want to know you but who you are will define the extent to which people want your presence, advise etc in their lives.  By no means am I saying do not wear makeup but ensure you’re mindset is right; do not be controlled by your foundation or eyelashes.   Your smile is a great feature that is noticeable without the aid of makeup. So smile because you can! With or without makeup ladies remember you are beautiful and keep aspiring to stay beautiful.

Never define who you are by man-made products because when they are out of stock, that means you are out of life- Mary Osho

A woman's dream

I look around and see how favoured I am
Through the ups and downs of life, I'm still here
So now I can only aim high and dream big
But with great power comes great responsibility
So I must guard my dreams and treat it like a baby
Carry it on the inside and eventually give birth to it
Nurture it and watch it grow
It's not going to be easy but I can do it
I'm a young powerful woman with unlimited potential

So as I look at life straight in the eye
I say bring it on
I only have to endure hardship for while
But through it all I'm inspired
By the success of those before me and around me
Many women have carved the way allowing me to now walk the path
So now I'm inspiring to blossom successfully and beautifully
A woman's dream

Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed.  If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes."  They will say, "Women don't have what it takes."  ~Clare Boothe Luce
