Music...A Source of Freedom

More and more I've been listening to music for more than just enjoyment. I listen to my music believing it's a source of freedom from the world...and opportunity to get away from the hectic lifestyle that most of us live. Moreover, it's a source of inspiration and strength for me, where the lyrics of so many songs talk to my heart and soul, sometimes helping me to become a better person, a more thoughtful person, more ambitious person and more confident person. Everyone listens to music, I hope it's as influential for you as it is for me!

Our Power Lies Within!

What is your greatest ambition? What is it that drives you to keep going everyday, through the good and the bad?
Too often I meet people that are sleeping their lives away. They talk of their greatest ambitions and goals in life…but that’s it. They talk about it. Nothing more.
It’s continuously on the back of mind…’LIFE IS SHORT’.
The reality is that waking up to life is going to hurt. Leaving our comforts and finding fulfilment will hurt.
We must find our strength in our pain, our hope in our fear!

Watch this video…don’t leave it for another day…watch it now. Please.

The thought of it pushes me close to tears and send shivers down my spine. It sets my heart racing.
Our power and drive lies deep within us…don’t ever question that…it’s there!

"I CAN do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."

Philippians 4:13

Time Means Nothing

The whole concept of time is something I’ve thought about a lot! It’s a funny topic. To think how time moves fast, it moves slow yet it always moves at the same speed. It all depends on what we do with it! So really we actually have the power to make time, slow time and speed up time.

Time means nothing...life goes on!

The next time I see you, whether that's 10 days or 10 years, we'll ask ourselves, where did the time go to?

I hope you can say it went towards something wonderful and fulfilling.

Be A Kid Again

Being with kids, I think, can change completely the way we look at life. They see through the problems
that we place in front of ourselves. Problems and differences that aren't really problems or differences.
It's just our stupidity and ignorance. Ahhh, I wish I could be a child again :)

An Example To All

Today I watched as the joy poured forth from the hearts of my friends and their fellow countrymen. With smiles etched on their faces, they brought an energy to a group of people clearly in need of it. Through song and dance they brought to us a venomous love.
Now let us share with others, what has been shared with us.

Why? Why Me?

Why exactly has God blessed me with the most beautiful people.
I have always been surrounded with hearts
overflowing with love.

This number of people is never-ending.
The fact that it is never-ending excites me.
How many more wonderful people does God have in store for me?

How?

In Taizé I meet complete strangers and spend just 1 week with them.

I feel as though they know me and I know them better than people I've known all my life.

How is it I feel so much closer to them ??

Trust In Yourself

Why do we let others change the way we think, act, and live our lives?
Where is our self-respect, self-belief and self-understanding?

God created me to be nobody else but me. He created me to think crazy things, to act foolishly, to care and love for those around me, to eat lots of food, to be good at sports, to suck at maths, to grow tall, to like reading the news, to annoy my sisters, although not all the time :)

God created me to be nothing more than the best that I can be...not what others want me to be!

Please, whoever reads this, think about this for today. Try to understand that you are a unique beautiful person and there is no other like you! For that reason, be the best YOU can be, because nobody else can take on that responsibility. Use the gift of life God's given you!

Trust in yourself. Push beyond your limits and discover what you can achieve.
What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger.

It's All Yours!

Nothing can wipe away our freedom...the source of which is deep within our soul.
Nothing will take it from you...nobody will take it from you..so use it!
Without the first step there can be no second.

Why so negative?

The fact that we must reassure ourselves that 'War is not inevitable',
leads me to believe that we are all stuck in a negative state of mind.
Our minds are locked up...short on freedom.
Why not say 'Unity and Peace is inevitable'. I feel we must first free our own minds
in order to free those around us.

The Lost Soul

The lost soul wanders through the throng of people,
deaf and blind to the world around him. He looks
through tired eyes and walks his tired body. Tired
from the pain and the stresses of life. Tired from having
nothing to do, tired from being shouted at, and turned
away. Tired from being acknowledged as nothing more
than a pest and a nobody.
Finding a dark isolated corner, he rolls his best friend
between his fingers, places it between his lips, puffs
and lets go. Finally a place of comfort where the world
wont find him!

Believe

I am strong,
I am fearless.
I can take any pain.
My sufferings will not hold me back. My struggles
will strengthen me. I can rise as others fall.
I am not afraid.
When I feel down and out, you will pick me up. I will in
turn raise those around me to new levels.
I will reach for the stars,
knowing that you are with me.
I am not afraid,
I am not alone,
Be with me.
