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 than grand activity.

The essence of being human is to give ourselves to the best interests of others and allow the synchronisation of our actions to develop. Understanding that we can’t exist in isolation and we cannot be human by ourselves is the first step to changing our world.

“ Humanity should be our race and love should be our religion”

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

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
