Friend….before you open your eyes to wake up today breathe in deeply and tell yourself, “I have done well.” And believe it. Really believe it. It doesn’t mean you were perfect, but simply that you have done your best, you tried, you showed up. Yes, you may have had the worst day, or the best day or the world’s okayest day – but here you are, at the end, and tomorrow you will have a brand new slate. So give yourself grace, be proud, be grateful for the good and rest knowing that you matter, you are enough and you have done well.© David Mukiriah

Does your love give freedom or control your loved ones?Love is about making one feel so powerful that nothing seems beyond reach.In many relationships, people suffer because they start to control their loved ones’ lives. While it is true that we become extra protective about our loved ones, the problem happens when we feel we own them and their lives, when we don’t let them make decisions, interfere in everything they want to do, and stop them from living the life they dream to live.While there is no doubt that love should protect and keep our loved ones safe, it shouldn’t suffocate them and make them feel powerless. Guide your loved one and protect them, but when they want to do something in life, support them.❤️💛💚

Your life is your lifeDon’t let it be clubbed into dark submission.Be on the watch.There are ways out.There is a light somewhere.It may not be much light butIt beats the darkness.Be on the watch.The gods will offer you chances.Know them.Take them.You can’t beat death butYou can beat death in life, sometimes.And the more often you learn to do it,The more light there will be.Your life is your life.Know it while you have it.You are marvelousThe gods wait to delightIn you.© David Mukiriah

Have the Courage to be Disliked~~
There is a compulsion to sacrifice the development of our true identity to be part of a tribe, or social group. When we do this, deep down we feel as though we cannot survive on our own, that our consciousness is not developed enough to think critically or take a risk. We feel as though we cannot trust ourselves to go inward, discern a situation and draw our own conclusions. We feel as though we will lose everything good thing we have if we rock the boat and challenge our paradigms. As a result of this timidity, we live a fake life. We surround ourselves with people and circumstances that don’t truly represent us and we starve ourselves of true social nourishment and genuine life experience. We wonder why we are not happy; why we feel dead inside. Why we seek perpetual escapism and cannot sense the beauty in simple things. Eventually our body breaks down and betrays us. Why? Because we are going against the very originating soul essence that creates our physical form. We are betraying ourselves.

I hate to break it to you, but, being uncomfortable and going against the herd, is exactly why you are here. You are here to be destroyed and reborn many times. In fact, each time you are willing to cast yourself into the fires of truth you only burn away what is not authentic to who you are. Each time you let go of your perceived identity you become more powerful and closer to expressing your innate and unique spiritual self. You can never be destroyed. The impulse to sacrifice the self for the collective is a vestige from the past matriarchal age. Our body remembers it as a default, and if we do not override it and develop the proper faculties for our current age, our consciousness will regress.

If that’s not bad enough, moving with crowd out of fear and hoping for the best leads to the eventual atrophy of our mind and overall well being, as just like our body, our mind must be regularly exercised and challenged to function properly. This means being willing to be wrong, to be potentially embarrassed. It means enduring uncomfortable stabs at our identity and potentially re-writing our world view and making big changes in our lives. We must endure these humbling experiences so that something genuine and authentic can be created; so that the Spirit that is underneath our ego can be revealed and lead us. And in truth, if you don’t challenge yourself, you will eventually be pushed into much harsher situations that force you to face exactly what you are avoiding. Lastly, nothing, and I mean nothing and no one, can substitute your own intuition and discernment.

In my disappointment Let me comfort myself In my fear Let me reassure myself In my angerLet me calm myselfIn my stressLet me listen to myselfIn my confusionLet me organise myself In my uncertaintyLet me find clarity In my heartbreakLet me find healing and closure In my self-doubt Let me find confidenceIn my loneliness Let me be at home with myself In my stressLet me soothe myself In my struggleLet me be still In my wearinessLet me rest In my painLet me heal and recuperateIn my sadness Let me purge my emotions In my failure Let me recover And in my regret Let me release all burdens of the pastSo that I may re-emergeStrong, capable And ready to take on life once more.© David Mukiriah
