A Little Musing

This is just a short post about a realisation I had a few minutes ago...

I don't know why but I was thinking about life and for some reason I compared it to making your way through a forest towards your destiny. I suppose that you are making your way towards your purpose.

It came to me that a lot of people take the beaten trail that many before them have carved out. That to me is the easy route where you find very few obstacles blocking your path. But on that route there is very little beauty and hardly anything that can move you.

I realised that I have never walked that path. I have never had anyone carve their way through a forest for me. I suppose that when I was younger I veered off course and started making my own way through that dark and mysterious forest. On the way I had to remove some pretty big weeds and cut my way through some bushes and even cut down trees that were blocking my path. It was all very difficult but that doesn't compare to the beauty I have encountered. What my eyes have seen, what my hands have touched and what my soul has experienced overshadows all the trials I had to overcome to get me to this point of my forest.

Life is not about the destination but the journey. It is not too late for you to veer off course and make your own way to your own destination.

Enjoy!!!

Peace. Love. Happiness.

Willpower: The Fair-weather Friend

-
by Joyce Meyer - posted January 13, 2013 But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). —Galatians 5:16 Willpower sure sounds like a great thing. We are led to believe that we have enough of it to fight off every temptation that comes our way. And sometimes it works. But let me tell you a little secret about willpower. Willpower is your best friend when things go well, but it's the first friend to check out when you get weary. I have found that if I really don't want to do something, my mind gives me plenty of reasons why I don't have to. My emotions even join in, saying, "I agree because I don't feel like doing it anyway." Our soul (mind, will, emotions) would love to run our lives, but the Bible says we are to be led by God's Spirit. We ar

Rise Above Your Trauma: The Keys to Achieving Personal Development

According to Google, Personal Development is a lifelong process. It is a way for people to assess their skills and qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals to realize and maximize their potential. Incidents and events that happened in our lives have scarred many of us. It has injured us to a point where we have lost ourselves, our dreams, visions and aspirations. My story dates back to my earlier years. I grew up as a brilliant and spontaneous child. I was that youth who soared through everything; I had a powerful personality but was also very fearful of displaying my full potential as I passed through an emotional and traumatic childhood. This was a trauma that stuck through and blocked me from bringing out the best version of myself. I continued existence as the little girl who had a wonderful vision of growth. I had flushed out all that I went through and endured life. Likewise, I matriculated, then later on graduated with flying colours. Likewise, I had lived at the

Discovery of the blog title

Holistic Serendipity encompasses all parts of a person; the mind, body and soul in a development of events by chance in a beneficial way (Online Dictionary). The title was inspired by my journey, growing up and discovering my talents in various places unexpectedly. With the assistance of my best friend and sister Andisiwe Mthengwane a journalist in the making and a friend ever available, (follow her blog @ www.blackboldvoice.blogspot.com ), who has inspired me and my sister in so many ways. She is undeniably one in a million, a phrase best to describe her is 'A package sent from Heaven', she is our angel Gabriela.  While daunting in the early hours of our vacation in 2011 December she thought of the word 'Serendipity' to best describe the concept of the blog, which to her was inspired by my discovery of writing. Along with Serendipity we established the word Holistic to be a perfect description of what the blog will focus on. There and then we were not certain as
