Dialogue

I believe we can all change this world, I believe that we can all contribute to the bigger picture. Based on individual morals, individual beliefs, individual passions and individual actions we can not only change our own lives but impact the world we live in. We all live on the same planet but all participate and truly live in our own individual worlds in which crossover and enter each other’s. I live in a world where every action, every word, every thought track can and will participate in the way I view the world and the world views me. I see the world as an opportunity, an opportunity to not only better my own but to better every single persons I come across. It’s an opportunity to understand, to support, and too help grow a movement towards change. It’s augment to identify and clarify the factors that construct your belief system. I believe that we should invest in people, in ourselves and each other. We get told we all live in a community, we all live in society yet we’re ma

Faith

Faith is commonly referred to within the religious context, yet faith is defined as ‘complete trust or confidence in someone or something’. Coming from a generation that is experiencing the culture of ‘trust issues’ and increasing individualised insecurities due the increasing pressures of societal norms and standards it seems to be a common trend to lose faith. Similar to all my other posts, this isn’t subjected to the whole of society, yet building on my own experiences and others around me. Wanting to believe in something bigger than you, to me that’s what it’s about. Whether you immerse yourself into a culture, a lifestyle or a religion, understanding that the way you perceive the world isn’t necessarily defined by your past experience yet the mind set and perspective which you chose to view the present world. Think about faith like a pair of glasses, we don’t all need to wear them. Although for some of us our faith is required and practiced at all times and for some of us w

Ubuntu

“ I am what I am because of who we are” We are all bound together by things that are invisible to the eye, by our emotions, by our gratitude and by our compassion towards others. Ubuntu is a faceless philosophy that binds us together to create something more than just the individual. Ubuntu asks us to open our hearts and allow others to inspire our hearts to live for more than just ourselves; to encourage the creation of a more collective society and to consider the success of the group above that of the individual. Suggesting that the only way for us to be human is to share our humanity with other people and to have it reflected back at us, understanding that our Ubuntu is what connects us with the world. The philosophy that doesn’t judge our success on money or materialism yet for our kindness towards and our willingness to help others. A perspective that believes the progression of the world lays in the collection of simple gestures of compassion towards others rather tha

Senses

Breathe, take a step back and open your eyes; open your ears, open your soul and most importantly open your heart. Open your heart to possibilities, to yourself and to others. Don’t rush just consider, consider what’s important to you; consider what makes you, you. Look, gain a 360 degree perspective of yourself, your soul, your being and let it guide your actions and most importantly let it guide your vision. When you look forward what do you see? Do you see progression or do you see yourself stationary? Listen to the sound of your heartbeat beating in your chest when you experience true happiness, the rush of what it means to be alive. Allow yourself to listen to your own thoughts, to your own feelings and take action. Learn to listen to prioritise what’s important to you and your being. Smell so you can remember, scent is the most powerful memory trigger. Remember what it is that allows you to wake up in the morning, brush your teeth and put your shoes on to walk outside

Why

I don’t believe in a religion, I don’t believe in a God, I don’t believe in astronomy, I believe in the power of people to change this world. I believe in communication whether that’s physical, verbal and emotional to influence and guide one and other. I believe that by expressing ourselves and our values we can contribute to a positive environment for all people and most of all I believe that a simple smile has the power to change the world. I believe that we don’t only make footprints on this planet; we make imprints on people’s lives and people’s hearts. Geographical differences aren’t a barrier to fulfilment and whole world inclusivity. I believe we all have an equal part to play on this planet, to be a good person. We should use the beauty in our differences and the power of our similarities to provide a platform where we can all achieve. I believe in humanness and doing all we can to benefit the progression of humanity. My heart belongs to the emotional aspect of allowi

The Jigsaw Puzzle

Learn to sit back and take a look at the bigger picture. The picture is made up of thousands of different pigments, different colours, different thoughts and different meanings. The ‘bigger picture’ is essentially creating a collage of individual and contrasting images that work inclusively to represent something bigger, your world. Essentially life is like a jigsaw puzzle, where each piece represents unique and meaningful factors that interlink and connect to one another in a constant network of emotions that link an individual’s values to their actions in parallel to their reactions. Understanding what is important in your life is imperative in guiding your actions, working as a connecting piece from your internal thoughts to your external responses maintaining a healthy equilibrium.   Your three dimensional being inclusive of your values, actions and reactions contribute to the jigsaw yet are not isolated in its making. If they say life is about the bigger picture than factor
