Gotta say there is no loving, faithful, ever supporting and truly dedicated friends as the ones we find on social networks....certainly none, period! Once people fall in love with you here, they are on your corner for as long as you will let them. They fight your battles, attacking whoever comes against you, even watch out for your love life with unbelievable zeal, let some random chick/dude write something mushy on your partner's profile, damn, your network friends will immediately be up in arms, to the point of hijacking that post with calculated sarcasm...regardless of whether y'all are even in the same continent or not; its truly fascinating to watch and be part of.
People are drawn to each other in an amazing way. Some friendships graduate from the net to becoming real friendships, getting even closer than blood family members just from the love born in these networks. These people only see the good in their friends, wish them the best always, believe the best for them...more like the ever present wind beneath the friend's wings. Now the disadvantage with that is that the 'friends' receiving the love can be deceived by it at times, big time.
Truth is, even the most unkind, rude, self centred, greedy, or obnoxious person on earth also has friends or groupies in these networks, who only know him from what he/she says in their chats or his/her statuses. He/She, in real life, is probably that sister/brother that is constantly embarrassing her/his immediate family, always making choices and decision that bring shame and isolation, nothing he/she does really succeeds...he/she has no job or is the worst employee ever, fails dismally in school, can't make any relationship work coz he/she is unreliable and dodgy...is a pathological liar, gossiper and slanderer. Even his/her network friends would be shocked at what he/she says about them behind their backs when inboxing with the other 'network' friends.
But let the very person update a status that says she/he is heartbroken or that they have 'haters' who are trying to destroy her/his life or any of that victim mentality sad stuff, the ever loving friends are there, ready to motivate, console, urge on and even take sides. Our friends in these networks never want any facts, they only care about our well being and will go to whatever length to make sure we are fine, others will immediately call, email, others even come over to make sure you are fine...yes there are such good people still in this rotting earth...believe me...however my point is, when you receive such love and you know very well that you do not deserve it, why continue lie to yourself???
I strongly believe that truly blessed is a person who can look themselves in the mirror and be real about what they see. It does not make any difference in anyone's life to lap up the adoration and the praises that you receive from people who are not leaving your life. At the end of the day, your life is yours to live and enjoy. You alone will enjoy the benefits of your sincerity and hard work. People can bend over backwards to try and make you feel good but if your problem is your rotten self, all their efforts are in vain. Your happiness is fake...its nothing but words until you make the choice to be real about who and what you are.
People stay in these networks 24/7 simply coz they love the roles they are acting online, but when they log off it's back to the ugly reality, the reality that no matter how much they try to escape, they can't, no one can ever run from themselves...my two cents worth of advise....if you cannot live with you, your life is nothing but an unfortunate waste.....do yourself a favour...and be real with your self, because those who really matter will love you regardless.

A very good morning to you...
Mornings will always come...be it Mon or Fri am...we can't wish them away...instead of the blah, blah, blah about how we don't like mornings...lets be grateful that we have a new day 2 learn new things, start new projects, finish what we started...rectify our mistakes, make amends, love, laugh, excel in our different fields, purposely turn a blind eye 2 the insignificant...its possible trust me...its a matter of decision!
I think we waste too much time and energy on things we do not have control over, then what we really have control over. Don't hear me wrong, I hate waking up especially in this crazy Jhb winter but its not as if I have a choice now do I? This might seem like a trivial point to make to some of you, but how many lost big opportunities today simple because they are not 'morning people'.
How many lost out on a chance of walking a loved one to a bus stop or taxi rank just for love sake, lost out on blessing their kids before they go to school, motivating them to go out and take over the world, one subject at a time, lost out on a chance to showcase their gift or talent coz they postponed that project for later in the day, lost out on a chance to say I love you or I am sorry to a family member or loved one after going to bed last night in horrible terms.
A friend of mine's morning just got disturbed because he received news that a family member passed on, while you are busy moaning about how blue this morning is...do take the time to acknowledge that the sky is just as beautifully blue, be thankful and grateful of what you have and those you have been given while you still have them and they still got you...

Choice is ours...always!!
Live life with no expectations and you will have no disappointments....if u shud expect anything...expect from yrself....coz the deal is never the ish that happens to you but how you react to it....whether yr spirit rises or falls is your call, it has absolutely nothing to do with your circumstances. Am I saying circumstances don't hurt or dis-illusion? Hell no...coz they do ...some hurt deeper than others. However if we make a conscious choice to be the captain of our own ship, to bear in mind always that nothing in this world is permanent, not even the breath in our nostrils, then we are giving ourselves a survival chance.
Again I will say...life is always much easier when we think, when we apply our God given superiority in this world, our MIND. Logic will teach you that the direction always depends with the driver and never the passengers or even the road traveled. If you do not like the road you travelling at, you change it...its yr decision, you are the driver....its yr call and nobody else's....

A word of advise to my fellow straight talkers...
I have to say very few things are more irritating than an arrogant person who has no regard for other people's feelings...who think that just because they have an opinion about something, they are obligated to voice it or the earth will stop rotating if they don't.
Know what fellow earth citizens...if you wanna get through to anyone, with the hope of living a lasting, necessary and worthy impression, timing is everything. Knowing when to speak and when to shut yr trap is not even wisdom in my opinion but a gift, that many of us were never blessed with. Truth is...as much as you have the right to freedom of speech, people around you have the right to be respected.
The reason most people call themselves 'straight talkers', is just mere self assurance since they know they hurt people with their stupidity, but wud rather turn the blind eye and pretend to stand by their many times unnecessary and unworthy opinion, only to make themselves feel better...

Clever people are good at solving a crisis but wise people know how to avoid the crisis altogether....

Inspiration is good, but its not everything...
Truth be told, we are emotional beings, and our emotions are worse than a roller coaster,which makes it impossible for us to wake up everyday feeling all psyched and ready to rumble. Not everyday you will feel like doing the things you know you NEED to do to reach your goals. Thats where a strong mind takes over....how much does it mean to you to reach your targets and realize your dreams? You answer that, you will start applying yourself even when you just wanna curl up in bed and snooze the whole day.
Again I say our mind is our superiority, when we use it and stretch it more often, the better our lives become. Am sure u will then agree that it is important therefore to watch what we feed our minds....what or who influences our thought process is vital to our success. What you know will always outweigh what you feel at any given time, but for that to happen you need to have a strong and steadfast mind...one that is rooted in strong self conviction and belief....guess the question then wud be...how rooted is your thinking...do you trust your self to make firm decisions and stick with them?,....don't answer me...look in the mirror and tell him/her!!
