A FRESH START

Starting over or starting afresh is the process of leaving what is old behind. It is a process whereby forgiving yourself and others is the only way to get through and overcome what you are facing. It is a conscious decision taken by those who are sick and tired of being undermined for their love and worth on earth.

Being undermined not only misleads you into understanding and accepting yourself worth but also misleads you into understanding the direction of your purpose here on earth. What I am saying is that what you receive and accept from others is mostly determined by what you think of yourself, so knowing who you are is the number one key.

It is incredibly shocking of how most of us suffer from depression and exhaustion, not really understanding where all of that pain and fatigue comes from. As individuals you need to make a case study of yourselves, where you apply certain principles of life and that will help you evaluate the elements that one needs to change, work on and totally dismiss.

Well yes, starting over is a long process that not many of us have gained enough courage, knowledge and strength to overcome it all. It is the breakthrough of one’s freedom, it is the breakthrough of ones hidden and it is the breakthrough of ones unseen secrets and the unknown.

Pursuing your journey starts with a clean and clear sight of where you are today versus where you would like to be tomorrow. It is about embarking on a journey that what is unexpected and unexposed will no longer be hidden but revealed to you and the world.

It is about merging your soul, mind and body as one. Spiritual changes are bound to take place so let it be and ask yourself do I need to start over?

BLACK VERSUS WHITE VERSUS THE WORLD

I was just thinking the other day, about poverty in South Africa. I hear about it and see it everywhere. What caught my attention was that I have not heard much about white poverty or white squatter camps, or even about a gang of white men raping a fifteen year old girl.

I recently read an article on the internet http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/03/26/us-safrica-whites-idUSTRE62P0UJ20100326, about the President of South Africa Jacob Zuma, visiting a white squatter camp which is not so far from where I stay. I was shocked as this exceeded my expectations. 

It saddens me to see that the media mostly focuses on poverty and crime within black South Africans compared to the white South Africans and that then has promoted a biased and malicious public perception of black South Africans.

White poor South Africans are humans and have equal rights according to the constitution Bill of South Africa, http://www.info.gov.za/documents/constitution/1996/96cons2.htm. Creating awareness around this issue will not only benefit the white community nor the black community but will also benefit the nation as a whole.  

It is not about being black or white; it is about embracing the blessings of life and its challenges. South Africa is celebrating eighteen years of democracy this year but there isn’t much to celebrate, as the problems that where experienced before are still being experienced today.    

SENSE OF PURPOSE...

As a Young South African woman, the colour of my skin tells u more about the opportunities i have waiting for me  http://worldhaveyoursay.wordpress.com/2008/04/15/does-your-skin-colour-define-you/. My teeth are a story of my social status. The size of my hips are a reflection of my mother and grandmother, the women that I look up too. My ancestral route is my past but yet a true definition of my future. My breasts are a continuous reminder of my true purpose, which is to feed, to teach, to nurture and to love another. My feet enlighten others about the journey that I have taken and how much further I should stomp towards self-recreation, self-realization, and self-acceptance.

Over taken by what the world wants me to be. From what I should wear, to what colour lipstick is appropriate for my complexion, to what dress size is considered to be sexy, to rather having a weave compared to natural hair etc.  I call that loss of identity.Not many of us even have the slightest idea of where our life journey is taking us or whether we are taking the right path. In the journey of self- realization, we need to take a pit stop. Sit down and think. Analyse your lives expectations not according to what the world considers them to be but what you consider to be pleased with.  

Walk at your own pace, you don’t have to look at who is in front or behind you because you might just trip and slower your progress. I have always excelled in comparing myself with others, but it was such a normal thing to do. Growing up with a gorgeous twin sister, though I am not bad myself, it was extremely difficult for me. We were always compared to each other, “she is prettier she could become a model”. You could just imagine what those words could do to a child.

Self-hate is not the answer,  it is time to love you for you. Self-recreation is the period of learning something new or how to embrace something old about you. It is the stage during a journey where a person tries new things and spends more time alone and really enjoys it. It’s the process of breaking down every single hateful and hurtful bthoughts that leads to self-acceptance  http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic48289.html.

i leave you with one question, Does self-acceptance of all physical and physiological flaws, help change the degree of ones love for them self?
