Be intentional. That’s it. It sounds corny and cheesy, and even merely motivational at first. But it is the truth. Dreaming is not enough on its own. Hoping or wishing for it to happen on its own is in many cases an exercise in futility. You need to act with intention and with purpose. You […]
I realized recently, that no matter how good you are at your job, you will not be a good fit for every organization hiring for your role.
am not everyone else. They are not me.
Their life and experiences are theirs. Their success will not look the same as my success.
Therefore, I need not be swayed by what someone else has done to succeed.
So you have now dared to dream, and it is in black and white on paper. The next step is equally simple, and just as rewarding. Start to move. Begin to take concrete action in the direction of your long term goals and keep track of the milestones you start to achieve on your journey.
Are you on the verge of depression in this season of life? Do you have pressures due to your work, or the absence of it that cause you to be in constant mental anguish?

The backdrop of life in my country in acute uncertainty, things change and many times it seems not to make sense. To give a picture, or a sense of this, I literally do not know what currency we will be using at the end of the year, what value it will have or whether it will make sense to have savings in the bank or not. Queues appear everywhere, for basic things like fuel, mealie meal and of all things hard cash itself. Bank withdrawals for many are not enough to cover the return fare home, let alone suffice for monthly groceries and tales of gruesome crime by men wielding machetes are on the increase…
The part that says “God heard the cry of the boy” jumped out at me, and as I took a few moments to reflect, i became profoundly aware that the story of Ishmael is to us, a testament of the abounding mercy and love of God.
