Humanising People, Humanising yourself

-

 

A couple of weeks ago I was in a negative place, I had one of those weeks where everything seemed to be going wrong in my head. This feeling not only made me question myself but it made me question where I was going. I knew I needed to readjust myself but I also knew that in order to readjust myself I needed to accept how I was feeling and do whatever I could to prevent making decisions based on what I was going through. Sometimes we find ourselves in these moments and typically in these moments we can revert back to bad habits or do things that we know we will regret in the next coming days and weeks. However, in this instance I did not allow this to happen. I choose to accept what I was going through and decided to do whatever I could to turn my week around. I spent time talking to my friends and family, I gravitated towards things that motivated me and by the end of the week I found myself limping across the finish line. Although, it felt like everything around me was crashing down, God managed to pull me through at the end.

Humanising People: The more we start humanising people the sooner we will realise that we are all the same. We are all trying to find our way in life and we are all fighting the same battle. Unity is what pulls us through not segregation. How someone looks, acts or who they are doesn't separate them from you. Yes some people are successful then others, yes others are prone to make signficant mistakes but we are all the same. We all have something we are dealing with but it is how we choose to act that ultimately determines our fate. It is so easy to look at someone and think they have it together when half of the time you don't even realise the challenges they are facing. Just because on the outside people look happy doesn't mean they are not going through stuff behind closed doors. Life is filled with so many rough times but it is how we choose to act during these moments that will ultimately decide our fate until we say enough is enough. I have had many moments recent when I would be in tears because of the weight of what I was going through, I did not know what to do and who to turn too. During these times I could not sleep, I was barely eating and the crazy thing is that I didn't even realise I wasn't eating. Talking to people became overwhelming, however, leaning towards God and accepting that this is not how I want to live my life slowly lifted up my spirit and I had the courage to fight back all the emotions that I was feeling. 

Better days are ahead: The most important thing to remember is that despite the many setbacks we have, better days are ahead. It is within the our struggles that we learn the most, we learn how to survive, how to keep pushing forward. Time doesn't wait for anyone and it is our responsibility to making ourselves happy. Life will make you question yourself but be strong, know who you are and accept that things are not always going to go your way. Perception is key,  how you choose to act or think about what happened to you will be the deciding factor in how long you stay knocked down. In my opinion, taking an L is a win for me. Sometimes what we are chasing is not what God wants for us but because we are humans we are not always going to see the bigger picture. We need to have faith and not lean on our own understanding and with time everything will make sense.

I hope you enjoyed reading and I pray you have a great week!

You are not a product of your setbacks

Many of us may have been raised in an environment or circumstance that makes us believe we are not good enough and for some of us our experiences may have led us to believe we will not amount to anything or that we are not worthy of happiness, love or freedom. Our belief systems/mindset at times can play a significant part in blocking the things that God has already spoken over our lives. We are at times robbed from happiness/confidence when we compare ourselves/circumstances to others, when we lack self-belief, when we do not have role models/mentors to guide us and sometimes due to bad company. All these factors and many more have an impact in the way we perceive ourselves and where we think we will end up in life.   While we are physically a product of our environment, we do have have to be a prisoners of the mentality of our environment. We are capable of achieving anything we put our minds, when we align our desires with God no one can take them away from you but you. There is...

Get your mind right get your life right

It is a luxury to have your mind in the right state especially in the world that we live today. The enemy will throw so many curveballs at you just to take you off your game. It is so critical that we understand that life is meant to come with its challenges. Without hardship how do we gage our surroundings? How do we know our gifts and really understand what we are capable of. At times we can be so consumed by how hard things are that we forget to recognise the great things that we have and the great things that are currently happening in our lives. We’ve become so prone to blaming people for our setbacks and now it has hampered our ability to move forward. In what world were we told that being successful was going to be easy. We need to fail numerous times before we get it right and through failure we are able to blossom into a better version of ourselves. How we chose to perceive failure will impact what we believe about ourselves and where we believe we are going. Rather than stres...

Don't let your past determine your future

First of all I have not had the drive, the motivation, the determination to write in a long time. Every week has been a battle, falling in and out of a depressive state can be very challenging. It is crazy to think how one day everything seems to be going well, you feel like you have a sense of direction and all of a sudden you just feel stuck demotivated and not sure that everything you worked so hard for would be worth it. Believe me when I say I've had writers block for a month but I doing whatever I can to really fight back against the forces of depressions, anxiety and negative thoughts. Each day is a battle but I know I have God on my side, I have a great mentor keeping me motivated and I am surrounded by all the right people in my life. Sometimes when your going through a rough patch no one ever really notices, we do so well to hide the things we go through and tend to stay in the dark places alone thinking that no one would understand but these are all lies. God knows exact...
