Principles of life

By: Madeline Musarurwa

Be the best you can be

When you are going through rough patches of life don’t despair. Failure should be seen as an opponent that you have to fight. Use it to inspire you to do best next time. If you want to excel in life you need to persevere and never give up. There will always be storms in life which you need to fight and get against. Do not let them overpower your goals and dreams. You are precious, unique and innocent. Appreciate, love and take good care of yourself. Introduce yourself to God and he will not close the doors for you but he will open more and more doors for you. Be whom you are regardless of what people think about you.”Ngavataure iwe uchifambira mberi.”God wants you to be the best you can be.

Getting your own way

Your life would be much easier if everyone did exactly what you told them to do, but unfortunately that’s not the way life is. What you really need is to let other people what you really want. If you want to take your own way, first make sure you know which way it is and make sure it is not hazardous and you won’t regret it for they say “look before you leap”. Be honest about your abilities, passions and get to offer them whenever their service is needed

Don’t allow your past to define you

Choose to leave negative experiences and failure in the past where they belong and rise right above them. Choose to acknowledge and handle the past negative experiences but consciously focus on the positive. Don’t let people crumble you down by instilling the failures of yesterday, for life still has to go on despite going down in the future. Your past should be outweighed by what you are doing now about your future. So don’t worry about the past for it’s gone.

Get to know yourself better

There is no bigger gift that you can give to yourself than to truly see yourself and learning to get to know yourself better and completely understanding who you are. You need to understand who you really are and also the aspects of motivation that made you what you are at that moment. That way it is easier to define your future, it helps on knowing where you are headed and why you are headed that way and how you are going that way................all the questions are all answered by simply getting to understand and knowing yourself better.

Everything happens for a reason

Everything happens for a reason but sometimes we are not smart enough to get to notice that. God created each and every person for a specific reason and a specific motive; you are not just a mere object for nothing. No matter how tough the circumstances you face may be, you just have to know that everything happens for a specific reason, Joseph was not arrested for no reason God had a reason for it. I learnt that in life when the predicament or the wound is still fresh you have a lot of people sympathising with you , however when everything gets stiffer and more agonising  people start departing 1 by 1 until the real friends and relations stick by you, that’s for reason. Don’t focus on what you have lost rather focus on what you want to acquire.

Only God knows what he has for you

You could be a prince but you wont really know it, a Bill gates of our generation. All lies in the hands of the lord. God knows, if you really pray unto him and work hard in life..... that will be a beginning of a lifetime transformation.

BLACK   INFERIORITY

I cannot be a scientist

I cannot be someone so recognizable in life

I am destined for failure

My life is doomed

I am leading towards nothing

My mind told me all this

BUT WHY?

Because l am black, because I am African

This thought and mentality of self-hatred

This thought of self mocking 

I t seemed to be genetically inherent

Because for generation it has haunted us

It has haunted those of my complexion

Little had l known that this thought

Little had l known that this mentality

 The major reason behind our failure

Had to be abolished, it had to be deleted

We needed optimism and abandon pessimism

In place of inferiority we needed superiority

I could be anyone in life; achieve great things

The power to do this lies in my hands 

The power to change history lays my passion

For decades I had been told what l couldn’t do

For decades l never really knew what l was capable of doing

Fellow brethren, fellow blacks

Let us stand for ourselves, be positive 

And remove this element of self-hatred 

Eradicate inferiority of race or colour

We can be what we want to be in life

It takes focus, dedication and determination

Yes l can be the next richest person on earth

I can go beyond my horizons,

For the sky is the limit

NOW IS THE TIME

NOW IS THE TIME

for quiet a while l have lived in supression

and fading hopes of liberation

all this while I have been crying for emanicipation

hoping that some hero will come for my resuscitation

little had I known,that only I and me alone

had to come out and stand for myself

in my words lied the solution

the only key for my liberation

not only did l realise that,but l also discovered something

I was not only supressed,but brainwashed too

fortunately l the solution

I believe in my words is where the truth lies

I believe in my words is where the solution is

yes you can try to use your brutal methods

but the power in my words stays provocative

the power that is in my words is just a time bomb

you can beat my body,but remember l got a mind

the secret chamber in which the plain truth lies

I have a mind that is free and has to be said out

I believe its high say myself out

I believe its high time I expose corrupts

Its high time l get myself off, from yoke of supression

I once saw it but couldnt talk,

its high time l depart from such ways

They used brutality to shut me up

its high time l open my mouth

Its just high time time I impact change

get free free from supression

Its high time I stand for the truth

YES it is now!!

I cannot be a Martin luther king

I cannot have the oratory skills

but l believe in the truth

The  way l may talk can sound absurd

but the truth is the truth

I know the little that say will impact change

I have to say it out

WHY?

Because now is the time

Yes it is now!!!

             THANK YOU
Nine months in your womb
You never faltered
Abortion could have been a choice
But you never thought of that
You never gave up on me
Up until nine months you carried me
During the sleepless nights
You were always with me
When i was sick or weak
You would not eat nor sleep
All the love, dedication, and care you gave
I just want to thank you mama

You were always my inspiration
When I was about to get out of the road
You gave me direction
You said son you have to have some determination
Because all this you knew and you had the vision
Though words may not be enough to express my gratitude
And my knowledge may be limited to stretch it out
Oh ! your love is beyond my description
Beyond my vocabulary if not inexplicable
I just want to thank you mama

Through the thorns you walked
To make sure that I had the best in life
So hard you worked
To make sure that I had an education
All the love, care and devotion
You deposited unto me
To make sure that I had a future
I am just out of words, i just don’t know what to say
All I can say is
THANK YOU!!!!!
