Positivity even in crisis

-

IT’S one of the mantras I use to conquer everything that comes in my way. If I were to look back I’d really say that I’ve overcame all just to be where I am today. You know in life, we surely encounter challenges and find ourselves between a rock and a hard surface, not knowing how you will ever get out of that situation. As for me, I say I LOVE YOU TOMORROW! Some can call it madness but it’s not. There comes a time in life where you feel that the world too has turned its back on you but there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Challenges that we face may differ but the approach of defeating that certain challenge has to be the same. Being positive all the time is one of the greatest approaches.

Being positive requires patience in the belief that tables will change and that’s the best witness ever.

If you ask someone to think positively when they are facing a situation, they’d think that you being ridiculous.

There are people who even think that ‘ positive thinking’ is hogwash. There’s this one quote which says,”

As a man thinketh, so is he”. This should tell you about the power of your own thoughts.

Do you know that a lot of people right now are think about how their government made it difficult for their business to progress and I should confess that whenever I think negatively as Nonhlanhla Mkhabela, my joy fades and my life becomes miserable and that’s because of my thoughts_ the

AN Y f urt her democratic evolution of t he Kingdom of Eswatini will be best achieved by consensus, Mut ual r esponsibil­ity, and mutual r es pect and by mutual consultati­on, as per His Majesty King Mswati I I I ’s words during t he r ecent Sibaya proceeding­s. Communisti­c t acti cs of s l ander and s ubversion will cl ose t he doors t o democratic openness.

The constituti­onal and parl i amentary order t hat we have achieved s o f ar s i nce t he culminat i on of t he national consultati­ons of t he 1990s has made our glass t o be half f ull , not half empty.

POLITIC AL

It sometimes denies you the ability to enjoy your life and even moving on but today I vow that no ways am I letting my negative thoughts rule my mind. If you believe in God and trust Him that He’ll deliver you from all evil. There’s nothing you should worry about. He’ll protect your marriage, job, business, children, friends, money, family.

Do what everyone is not willingly to do. Let me share with you a secret. People are naturally lazy_ Yes! When I say people I mean you and me. We are lazy, we like to have it easy.

No wonder we are so glued to the

Anyone who with violence

LAZY

t hreatens another f or polit i cal purapps on our phones, laptops which promise to do this and that for us without our input. Sometimes it works, sometimes it requires human input. Opportunit­y lies in places that seems like work.

If you want something that can take you to places, consider the work ethics in your own life. While everyone is praying for a miracle, you should be busy working. I can promise you that you will give a testimony because of doing something everyone is not willing to do. It always helps to associate yourself with like minded people and successful ones.

Successful people always have the idea of step up to the next level and that’s what you definitely poses i s a t err ori s t by every s t andard of t he doctrine of t err ori s m. need.

If you are going to align yourself with lazy, ignorant people you will never make it in life. If you were to listen to successful people’s talks, you’ll surely wish not to be apart from them. Create your own successful life.

OPPORTUNIT Y

I don’t know why most people suffer because life showers opportunit­es to all of us just that sometimes we get naive. I’ve watched how peolpe respect whites and I thought that maybe it’s becausethe­y have less melanin( white skin) but then I thought again that they’re known for being successful and being superior.

If you are able to control your

The promotion and human r i ghts of democracy s hould not be self I mean your own life then automatica­lly you have leading skills and that you can achieve anything you desire no matter the voices.

Choose the people who come into your live. Just like street kids offer one another the substance to numb the pain of a sickness, friends could offer solutions that aren’t helpful. My advise would be pick successful peers. There’s nothing wrong in picking successful friends.

COMFORT

Step out of your comfort zone. Notwithsta­nding, you might also lie yourself that you are okay just as you are. Many people lie to themselves every single day that it is okay to live the life of want. Some people are comfortabl­e with the status quo. Each one of us has their own choice in the way they want to live their lives. Some people are comfortabl­e being homeless and others are comfortabl­e living paycheck to paycheck. We live the life we choose! I wouldn’t want you to insinuate that people who possess more are selfish.

You can achieve what the other fellow has achieved. It is a matter of being a go- getter and work so hard. Trust me, if we were to all follow that rule, we would all be known entreprene­urs. In your way, it’s obvious that you’ll face hitting stones but in every tragedy there’s an opportunit­y. Gone are those days of our parents when education was a guarantee that you’ll end up successful.

Times have changed and we need to adjust accordingl­y. The careers that used to be cool in the 1990s are no longer available in our modern times. Some careers are becoming extinct daily.

A wise person should pay attention to what’s working. There are so many people who like to debate on what the world should be instead of focusing on how it is. What you are good at, use it as your advantage
