Reveal your true self

Always show gratitude    Everyday we wake up complaining about this and that-how we wish we had jobs that paid more loving relationships with our partners.We never feel that what we have is enough because we are always in the fast lane,wanting something better. The love and connection that you have with people cannot be replaced by cars,flashy clothes or your job title.It is important to show gratitude even in sadness.Be grateful that joy still lives in you even when you are going through negative experiences.  Flashy cars don't define us  Its the little things that we take for granted but its those little things that make so much difference.Many people have become selfish beings that find it difficult to be still and appreciate things that we have been blessed with because they are always chasing things,they feel they never have enough. We need no to worry about society reminding us about age and the things that we need to have achieved b...

Many people are influenced by the media,to perceive themselves in a certain way. Hip-hop influences our social life and the way we dress.Certain people breathe and live hip -hop culture,in such a way that one forgets their own culture. Choosing to portrayy an image f another individual you see on a magazine or television shows that you not happy with your own image.Yes its' acceptable to be different  and unique,but it does not give one a reason to forget their sense of belonging.     The youth are often surrounded by negative     images and messages,and this affects their      way of thinking,as they come across hip-hop     music with vulgar language.There needs to     be balance with respect to the images we     see and the music we listen to.

Some people choose to wear clothes,which hide them from socioety,because of the fear of judgment and others wear next to nothing to show they are proud of who they are.What we wear gives some information about our identity and in many ways just a mirror of our personality and understanding of the world. In todays society,others attempt to mimic others' style of dress when that isn't their preference at all.To a certain extent clothes give us more or less confident in ourselves,thus shaping our personalities for the day.  Wearing a cocktail dress or a pair of sexy heels can make us look more outgoing or willing to put ourselves out there. our outward apperance does influence our inward personality.It is a reflection of our personal traits and charecteristics.

Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he/she never shows to everybody. Some people mislead the shadow as the dark side .It's not that our shadow qualities are bad,its that we hide them because they do not fit into our picture of who we want to be or what people expect us to be. We consider ourselves to be compassionate but we have a more selfish,sometimes arrogant impatient side.We pride ourselves in our discipline but have secret addictive tendencies. We preach about morality and purity to others but constantly battle with our longing to indulge our senses in every possible way.

No one should dwell over mistakes  Mistakes are part of everyday life and can help you to build your character and make you a better person in the future.Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.We need to try and make the best of even the most difficult situations.There's no running or hiding. Shifting blame to others might be a temporary solution and may assist in getting pressure off for a limited time,but the mistake will usually come back and the pressure will always interfere with the learning process. WAYS TO HELP YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES Acknowledge your mistakes Act,repair and seek help Move ahead bravely Learn to apologise Humour

Cast from the series;Friends Most people you call friends hang out with you because of what they get from you whether its a listening ear,a shoulder to cry on or money at the end of a tight month. The most important thing about being a good friend is; Treating everybody as you would have them treat you. Be a friend in word and indeed Always be honest Give as good as you get Return favours and always act without expecting something in return A friend should love you when you are unlovable,hug you when you unhuggable. They should cheer when the whole world boos and cry when you cry. The list of my friends is as long as the list of reasons for choosing to stay around them,and each relationship is as unique as the person it involves.We should never take our friends for granted,because they won't always be around.For as long as long as you have them,always let your friends know how special they are to you

Love gets stronger with time Society has many interpretations of love,in our interpretation of what love is,there should never be pain.As a collective we need to shift our perceptions of love.We need to realise that love can never be shown in the form of pain or fear We have been taught to believe that when someone hurts you and treats you badly,it is all in the name of LOVE .I don't buy that because love,in its purest form,is something beautiful and awesome. Love should not come at a price,where people feel that they should change who they are to feel love.The love that you share with others should be the kind of love that you feel for yourself.You cannot say you love a person when you constantly tell him/her that:'' I will only love you if you do this and that".When a person loves you,he/she will encourage you to be the best that you can be. LOVE SHOULD BE UNCONDITIONAL!!

Happy group of students in their graduation  When you are successful,people soon forget about your shortcomings and place an achiever tag on you.Success begins with a fellows will.It's all in your state of mind.You've got to think high to rise up.However success does not come without pain.It depends on hardwork,perseverance,diligence and consistency. It does not matter where you are now,perseverance is what counts in the end. The mark of a successful person is someone who can build something of value with the bricks that others have thrown at him The are no limitations in what you can do,except the limitations of your own mind. To accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream;not only plan but also believe"Anatole France'' Only those who work hard,even when it is difficult to taste success .Always be positive if you think you have been beaten.If you like to win but think you can't,you won't.If you think you'll lose,yo...

Let go of the Past Traumatic incidents such as events like losing a loved one,death and divorce,make us feel worthless and powerless,but we can't blither and whine forever because we need to move on.Breaking up with your partner or getting a divorce,such situations keep us back and prevent us from doing whats best for our future. Bad things happen to everyone,hard times will test our strengths and weaknesses.And it is a challenge to face the bad stuff bravely rather than run away from it.Most of us usually say"My life will not be the same without him/her or rather i am nothing without this person".This implies that you do not believe that you can be or do whatever you want to,because you really can. Yes it is not simply easy to forget a loved one,it may take time,but remember that the longest  journeys begin with a single footstep.I don't see a reason why anyone should deprive themselves of fun,LIFE IS TOO SHORT!!Stop blaming yourself for things that went wron...

The process of learning in life is just like the process you went through at school.You don't go from creche to college.You must go through every class.If you fail in life,you have to keep trying until you have learnt what is required.This process is repeated throughout our lives.When it seems that what you are going through is unfair,when you're angry or hurt and asking ''Why me''.Think for a moment and look for the lesson that you are being taught.The saying ''Everything Happens for a reason''.might be true. We may never know what that reason is if we don't take time to look for it. Life is about creating yourself Look at your life,think about difficulties you encounter continuously and think about lessons you can learn to stop the cycle.From a PR point of view, believe it takes honesty and dedication to change behaviour but it is an invaluable investment in your future.The triumphs of life should not hold us back from reach...

 You complete who you are                                                                  Complete Happiness As people we tend to look for someone who will complete us.As long as this is the view,it will take us a long time to reach a stage where we go into relationships complete and not looking for completion We should not go looking for happiness elsewhere, because if we are not happy with ourselves,how do we even know if and how someone would make us happy. We also expect that all the things we don't like about ourselves will be complemented by all the good things that the other person will bring.From a communication point of view,i believe that...

Be a better person Learning to please yourself first before others is not a bad thing. We are encouraged by society to be selfless people who put others' needs before our own.This is mainly supported by our different cultures and religions.Pleasing others first may be satisfying to the other person but it often leaves you all empty and disappointed. To be the best you can be you need to satisfy your own needs first. You will be more; Content Joyful Relaxed It is important to grow within yourself positive qualities that will help you be a better person who is fulfilled.There is absolutely nothing wrong with loving yourself and taking care of your needs. Loving yourself begins and ends with you,you will not seek approval and will limit how much of yourself you will give to others. BE SELF-FULL! its' one of the best things you can do for yourself

 Curves or bones?  Real men go for curvy girls!And only dogs go for bones!How true is this statement?Here is my point of view don't feel insecure about yourself,we are all of different sizes and shapes and that is what makes us unique.We should look at everything we like about ourselves and begin to love it. Loving yourself is the most important thing and we should accept the way we are.If you were born skinny don't let people say you "anorexic" and if you are a plus size don't let people call u a" balloon".No matter what size or shape you are people will always judge so pay no attention to them.  Beauty comes in different shapes Some men like curves and most of them like thinner girls,because they believe thinner girls are much more healthier.The actual fact is, men vary much as females do.If your men thinks you've gained weight tell him where to get off .So ladies don't worry about what guys think of your body bec...

Wild and Fun Cosmetics have been around for thousands of years, particularly to enhance or protect human skin. Most people use makeup to be colourful, wild, fun and be a little rosy, but i think make up hides you. Your natural beauty can certainly not be seen because of the makeup. So ladies ladies ladies! Go easy on the makeup you are beautiful just the way you are. Yes they say make-up is like art, it covers up blemishes, spots and so on, but when you over use it, it looks like you are a ghost that just came back to life. Girls usually wear makeup to boost their self-confidence, self-esteem and to feel better about themselves. The sad truth is that, most of them use it just to fit in, they want to be in with the popular girls and look attractive towards guys but guys actually prefer girls with a natural look. Makeup does wonders If you are young and using makeup, the possibilities are that; when you get older, you can look really old and have ble...

 faircrea white whitening cream  Skin Brighteners or Bleaching, that’s what most people call it.One of the reasons why people bleach their skin, is because they want to look more appealing and attractive. Does our skin colour define who we are? Clearly some people think so, they go to such extremes where they bleach their skin and become "whiter" than white people so to say.  Singer has a passion for Whiteness     A South African Kwaito singer, Mshoza made headlines a couple of months ago, changing her skin colour from being an African Dark Beauty to "A white person" that's how she portrays herself now. In an interview with Saturday Star, she said "I don't really look pale at the moment, but yes when everything is done I will look like a white person. From head to toe. What message is she sending out to her fans, that one shouldn’t be comfortable in their own skin? Some celebrities bleach their skin because they have mo...

You are who you are not what you think you are! It might not make sense but it has a broad meaning. We should learn to appreciate and love the way we are and not imitate others. Living life in the shadow of others is what most of us do, we try to dress in a specific way just to fit in People should learn to lead the way in their own special way by being your unique self and born identity. We were all given special qualities when we were born but we tend to not show any of these qualities because we are afraid of being judged by the rest of the world. Marcus Tullius quoted "For how many things, which for our own sake we should never do, do we perform for the sake of our friends". This begs the question, are we trying to live the life of celebrities? For instance, there are people who have tattooed their faces simply because Lil Wayne did so, not even knowing the real reasons why he did so. Could we be doing such things just to get attention or to get a feeling ...
