forgiveness

one of the most difficult things to do is forgive, forgiving those who hurt us and most difficult forgiving ourselves. We are human, pain is part of life, but when pain is inflicted by someone or is causes by ourselves we find it hard to let go, to forgive.
When you forgive you not just letting go of the hold you have over the person, but you let go of the hold the person has over you. Most times the person who hurts you, doesn't even care or acknowledge your exist, they move on with their lives like nothing ever happened, while you can not sleep, thinking about the person, thinking about the incident. There are two powers that have a hold of you, the power of ther person who hurt you and the incident its self. You need to let go, forgive and move forward.

You will be stuck in one place in your life, not being able to reach your full potential because this is eating you inside. One of biggest problems comes when you forgive and don't forget, there is a reason when God forgives us our sins He wipes them out, it is so He has no record in His books and His mind, so He can not judge us with our past, but rather what we have  done then and there. This is the same principle we need to apply our forgiveness journey. It is a healing process, that dose not take a day or two, it takes time, but you need to take the first step and speak the words confessing your forgiveness over the people who have hurt you the most. You need to to open the path to your future with no thorns left on it.

The most difficult forgiveness is forgiveness of ones self. What ever you blame yourself for, true or not, you need to leg go and let God take over. Whatever you did to someone or to yourself, you have been forgiven in heaven, so you can let go of it. Pain stands a stumbling block in our path and the more we blame or selves for thing that have happened in our lives in the lives of others, we stop ourselves from going forward, we hold back the people we have hurt as well. The most impotent thing is to ask for forgiveness from those we have hurt, God and then ourselves.

Live the life you where ordained to live, do not let regret and anger hold you back.

Critical reflections on colonial legacies in the African Academy:

Critical Reflection on colonial legacies in the African Academy.  Challenges and prospects for the future : We need to understand what colonization is and what it has brought with it that Afrikans are rejecting, what is its legacy in the Academic environment. Understanding the colonial institutionalising of the education system: Definition: colonisation is an ongoing process of control by which a central system of power dominates the surrounding land and its components (people, animals etc.). – Wikipedia Western Education was an important tool in making sure that  colonisation was effective and was needed to pacify the Afrikan. Education was used to restructure Afrikan communities and cultures, to make them more Eurocentric. The French used a policy called emulation that made Africans in their colonies aspire to be more like their French masters. Those who sounded and acting like the Frenchman, were given full citizenship. The idea of being like the West is one ...

A Balck Woman in Corporate

 While we fight for equal pay amongst women and men, we need to separate the category of women; there are black women, then there are white women. Within these categories, there are clear wage gaps and clear value of the one, over the other, with the other being black women. I have come to realise that white people do not realise their privilege and supremacy complex, there fake fading smiles when you walk past them, almost to say, “What are you doing in my space”. I don’t think they realise  that we can see right through those half baked smiles. There coldness and uninviting energy makes you self-aware and reminds you, that you are in the wrong place, this is not your space and as long as you can remember that, you will be okay. However white people are not the only problem black women face in corporate, black men also contribute to the demise of black women in the workplace. I worked for a company that was ran by black men and fell victim to the corporate abuse that b...

Taxi to eKasi

A taxi just seems so wretched and black. I prefer my car and should my car breakdown, lucky for me, there are so many options, Uber, Taxify and a good old cab. This is the new generation of black South Africans, who grew up in former white neighborhoods and attended fancy white schools or model C schools. The reality of poverty and lack, seems like a foreign subject to them. Them that speak with English that confuses even their white counterparts, “is he black or white”, you really can’t tell over the phone, but that is good, isn’t it? Now they can get better service than the black person who sounds black, just as long as they don’t use their real name, they should be find. The desire to distance ourselves from poverty, has turned to the desire to distance ourselves from blackness. There seems to be so many things wrong with being black and the further one distances themselves from this image, the better it feels for them. The “Kasi”, seems to be a foreign land to those who live ...
