Improve yourself and be the best you can be [Personal Growth]


As you read this heading I feel sure you are wondering what the spin is going to be around my thinking.  Will this be something you can use in your own life or is this some reflections of what took place and is still happening in my own life?  You and I both now we can only write about our own life experiences.

In that case, let’s see what we can learn from each other.  To my thinking, one should always be able to learn, stay creative and add a dash of wisdom in the mix.  Being honest is something I would consider something to always keep in one's arsenal.  

At any rate, we all go through different things in our lives and we need to stay focused on growing spiritually and of course in our material world.  Spiritually to my way of thinking is to actually have a living relationship with the Lord Jesus.  This keeps me human and helps me stay focused.  I pray when I feel down and read my Bible to help me going forward.  I find in staying connected to the Lord Jesus I have a different set of rules for my own life. 

I have learned to preserve to the end and just never ever give up.  I have also learned by prayer and constant speaking to the Lord I have courage for each day.  To my mind, I believe that the Holy Spirit resides within my heart and because of that, I am being renewed each and every day. 

Being open-minded is difficult and really hard for me because I have a set standard which I keep to.  So I always have to consider what it means to other people.  Originality is something we all can learn, we like to copy other people because it seems like they know everything and seem to arrive.  My question to you is, have they? 

I aspire to be independent and smart; in the mix, I try and stay playful and absolute work at being a really nice person.  Trying to keep me from being too judgemental.

I hope this message was inspirational, with a touch of kindness and compassion and most of all that you would have learned something from me.  Improving yourself and being the best you can be.


You are a blessing!

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
