SLAVERY RE-BRANDED?

Hello! Greetings from the Pearl of Africa.

Ok… do you just love the world or is it me? What exciting days we are living in.
It takes me a wee while to write on my blog nowadays. But I think of you often.
It’s been a fabulous weekend and I’m looking forward to what this week has installed for me.

Well the last few weeks have been crazy busy but good…giving back to the community and a lot of very special moments. I have been working with a prestigious company. And this has brought a lot of reflections to how I view life. With each passing day, I’m filled with owe trying to understand this. My thoughts are deeply perplexed. Personally, I have no delusions regarding work but has it enslaved us to the point of no return? So many of us spend more that 8 hours at work, 2 hours in the traffic jam then home to sleep… and the worst thing is a huge number only goes to work for the money. More than 70% of all people who have that working routine Hate. Their. Jobs.

Is it not true then that most people have becomes slaves to their work?

John Bevere an author describes a Slave as one who has to serve. You have to do something whether you like it or not.

As I reflected on John’s thoughts, I couldn’t help but grief of what the world has become. With each passing day I want to align more tangibly with the thoughts of freedom. I see faces that yearn for something. How far can one go? What happened to making choices or having freedom of this and that?

What’s the purpose of my writing these rumbling thoughts? I want to encourage whoever reads this, to do something you love on a daily basis. It is vital that you spend enough time with the people you love and engage in doing the things you love too. Life is so fantastic to keep spending much of your time on things that stress you.

Ok – so I really hope you will position yourself for a brighter future with those you treasure most.

Food for thought: - Most of the so successful people wish they spent more time with the people and things they treasured most.

Have a fabulous week everyone. Be safe, be strong, and be blessed!!!

Smiles,

Ha!!!

Well people it has been a wee while but all is well.
Through out my race for the last few months I realize that: For winning is no more than this: To rise each time you fall."
We all have "races" we run and sometimes stumble along the way. But life is more than struggles. Never believe you don’t have what it takes. Adversity can be an energizer and not a stumbling block.

Napoleon Hill says: - Every adversity has within it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit.

It is easy to get to the top after you get through the crowd at the bottom.

There is hope, keep on moving.

Embrace the Struggle!
Life is good

Big thoughts,

Katherine
