Today I have something to offer

 











If I ever make a contribution in this life it has to be making people feel better in some way, and for me presence is always a great gift on its own. Being present…

Today I would likes to put a thought out there, and it is spelt as follows: I have something to offer!

Some people naturally love to give gifts; they always find reasons to do it without any struggle. And some people are more of receivers, not that they are bad people but its just not part of the tradition, or they think they cannot afford to. In most case when people think giving the second thought that comes to play is money. We mostly think of gifts to be tangible and i find this notion limiting. Money is one of the sources of giving but it is not the main, it is not the only channel to warming a heart.

Making a moment better is making a life better. I delight in people’s joy because at some point I felt the absence of joy, so I understand the value of playing part. Let us think of things to offer this day, tomorrow or this week, keeping in mind it’s the intension that counts. Common phrase “it’s the thought that counts”.

We can think about the people around us, our friends, our family, colleagues, neighbours, strangers or literally the first person that just played in your mind. Would spending more time with them be a good gift at the moment? Would giving an ear and/ or a hug be a good gift? Would sending a text “I see you/ I appreciate/ you got this” be a good gift this day? Would even just offering an apology be a much meaningful gift to ever be offered this week? I believe you just thought of a suitable gift to offer to the first person that came to mind. Just to add another thought: it is a greatest gesture to do stuff for people we don’t know too. As for good things, we don’t do them only when deserved but we do them because that is what matters.

In conclusion we all have something to offer, so let us give something this week and warm a heart. When we warm a heart we also warm our own hearts.

Life is as easy as we make our thoughts to be. - M Jiyane

An alignment conversation 🥰😌

Sometimes, the best way to discover what you truly love is to look back at your younger self. Before the influence of society, teachings, and expectations shaped your perspective, your younger self knew the raw, honest truth about your passions. Reconnecting with that inner voice can reveal what genuinely sparks joy and purpose inside you beyond all the noise and external opinions. In this blog, I’ll share how who I am passionate about now is deeply connected to that authentic, childlike clarity, in the form of a prayer rooted in assurance and hope for what seemed like a far future then. One thing about this guy, he’s fulfilled every genuine, unselfish request I ever made to God about adult love. When I was 11, I prayed for a life partner, a best friend really, trusting that when the time was right and I was older and ready, I’d find someone special. Now, being with you feels exactly like what I imagined during those prayers, like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, living out the best ...

Am not running out of time

Looking back at my life, I realise I’ve always started early. I began Grade 1 at the age of 5, started university at 17, and bought my first property at 23. I enjoyed the fact that people noticed I was the youngest in class, and I worked hard to be among the top 10 students at school. This drive really began when I chose my subjects and followed my commitment to excelling or should I say, slaying in life. In June 2024, I made the brave decision to leave my job because I chose myself and my health over demanding work. My career requires me to constantly pour into others, and most of the time I had to fake being well and energetic, even on days when I was crumbling inside. I remember one day vividly: I had just returned from external moderation, exhausted, with a badly swollen eye from allergies my eye was barely open. Yet, I still went straight into a parents’ meeting at 16:00, showing up as if nothing was wrong, despite the obvious. That’s who I’ve been all my life: pushing through, be...

Midweek Me-Time✨😃

During my first year, I was too broke to indulge much, so this phenomenon really took shape in my second year.   There was this chocolate chip cookie I used to buy from Treats store 🏬 on campus, paired with rum and raisin ice cream. I was living my best life! Those were the good old days when I rewarded myself for studying.  Now, I plan to adopt a reward system for working out, submitting assignments, and completing exams. For work, I think I’ll create a midweek wellness date to celebrate reaching the middle of the week and to encourage myself to finish the week feeling happier and more courageous. When i start working again, of course.  I am feeling excited to be where my feet are, to truly live.  Budget friendly Ideas by chatgpt Coffee Shop Treat : Grab your favorite coffee or tea and a small pastry.
