TRUST

TRUST “I just can’t believe that it was you all this time around. How could you do such a thing to me? You have betrayed me. You have let me down!” These could be the words of a man whose heart and trust have been broken by someone he/she trusted. Let us face it, it is hard to come to terms with the reality that the person we trusted with all we had betrayed us. In many cases, people we trust are the ones that betray us or let us down. Look at Peter who was the closest person to Jesus let him down by denying him, Judas plotted against him and handed him over his enemies, spouses cheating on their partners, husbands defiling their baby girls, leaders fails to fulfill their promises they made to their followers, men of God lying to their sheep’s. All these shows us that trust is always broken by the people who were suppose to protect and cover us. Cursed is a man who puts his trust in a man. Why is it so? Because men are, evil and they are filled with selfish ambitions and des

FACING REALITY

I have had problems recently to come to terms with some issues I face in life. I have tried to hide my issues to the world but to no avail. They still find a way to show their ugly face to the world.I am who I am. There are some things in life we need to face even though we don't want them. Facts will always be facts regardless of what our opinions are. Most of us try to live our lives in illusions. Preferring to show only the best sides of our lives. I have met several people who borrow clothes and other things from friends just to show that they are well to do when they are not. In fact I know of a person who managed to convince a girl to marry him because of materials belonging to his friends. You can guess what happened after the girl found out. Its a fact that some things that happen to us are not good to be known by our friends, girlfriends or workmates but to live a life completely different from what we are supposed to live is not good. I have tried it and it doesn't w

Never Give Up

T hey say no pain no gain. Regardless of how many times one fails but still having the heart to move on and try again is what differentiates achievers and failures. People who made a mark in this life be it sometime back or now had to withstand the reality of feeling and enduring the pain, frustration, discouragements, insults and even ridicules. After the storm after comes the calm and this seems to have worked for one of the Malawian musician, Joseph Phungu Nkasa. It took him a long time before people in Malawi recognize that there is a man who answers to the name of Joseph Nkasa. He released about five albums and still he failed to penetrate into the music industry and make a name of himself in the music circles. This man had a big heart and hope that one day he will make it. This paid off when he realized his 6 th album. He made a lot sells breaking the record for the first time in his life. He was highest seller in that year. It did not take long when he

WINNERS DON'T QUIT

I like winners. They have very rare qualities which I admire one of which is that they don't quit. In tough situations, they still move forward to accomplish their goals. Amidst strong opposition, they find their way and win. When all their friends are giving up, throwing the towel, they push forward. In football, golf or tennis, they use the same pitch, rules and are controlled by the same referee but they emerge winners. In life they meet the same problems we encounter every day; sicknesses, losing loved ones, rejections, marital issues yet they come out clean. At the workplace, they follow the same company rules and do everything else as commanded. Yet when all of you are complaining, changing jobs and backbiting, they are there succeeding. Promotions, awards, and recognitions come their way. They are always confident about whatever they are doing. They believe in what they do. Think twice if you feel like quitting. Success does not come on a silver platter. Go for it!!
