Be yourself amplified

Be yourself amplified…..

Who are you today?
How different are you from this day last year?
How different are you from the young person you were when you were in matric; full dreams; oozing passion for what you wanted to be.

We are growing; the clock has been ticking since we were born. The countdown began when you cried letting people that “here am I”

The young adult you see when you look in the mirror; is beautiful in every way. This person is so full of capabilities some of which you are not even aware of.

Yes, you are an Olympic champ you always believed you were. And you are a ramp model you always wanted to be; but you know what? You never really took the first step.

In words we can be anything we want. But you need to have the zeal to do it. We can blog everyday about men and sex and not get tired; can we just for this day talk about how we can amplify ourselves? Yes we can sound so cliché these days but I think I understand it when I face it to me and what I want to come out of my life.

This is not a motivational speech; it is a simple challenge for everyone reading to take a minute and ask yourself:

Am I what/who I wanted to be?
Am I being realistic about my answer in the previous Q?
How can I improve my current situation to being where I am?
How can I amplify myself?

For all the sisters attending socials; after you have done all the formalities what is it you are doing to build each other? I hope you do not gossip.

This is coming up because my friend was hosting a while back and I realised that after all is done; they gossip; about everyone and anything. These individuals are people I always thought they are together (in terms of intelligence) oh boy; I was so wrong!
Gossiping is an easy way to see how shallow an individual is.
Let us not skinner rather we help each other develop business plans so that we do not turn 40 poor and in more debt

Let the clock not say “nx, nx, nx, nx poor soul is still a confused cockroach”. Be determined to live you life and live to the fullest; in every way this means to you. While at it make sure that you are not making a fool of your name; your people or you female species if you are a lady and male species if you are a guy.

Let us not be like SABC and have repeats of mistakes, let us amplify ourselves

will look into my life later today, i dont attend any socials, should i be??? you should belz; the latter i cant answer for you
i joined a social club and have never attended even 1 meeting this year
the group is just wrong for me. i think some do help in terms of other vital information you may need as an individual

LOL blueroze, we have different types but the common one is the one where people save money and share at the end of the year.
They come in handy if you need to buy something and u do not have financial control.
Attend the one where people are focused.
My sister was involved in one where they only drank everytime she came back after their meeting she did not know her name, LOL

LOL Molilo, hawu are those called social, ngumholiswano nje lowo, nna the pple that i holisana with, we just put money in each other's account, the other one is in CT even, we dont need to discuss anything, there is so much money education and motivational ish going on already, if i have to meet with people for such , i would probably be drunk as well.

Great article bleroze, had given me a chance to do some check

Who are you today?
dont know hey but im loving this person

How different are you from this day last year?
different negetive or different positive, i dont know but this day last year all i wanted to do was to study and study, wouldnt have think twice of taking risks, whether calculated or not, wouldnt think twice of packing my bags and leave to a different/continent/country/province/town but today i just wish all this could be over, wish i can take a break from all the hype and happenings... i even let opportunities pass that i wouldnt even think twice last year this day to take ... the reason im saying i dont know if it is different positive or negative is because i have based most of my decisions of not taking these opportunities more on other's ppl feelings, something i wouldnt have done years back, my parents think im growing(which is good to them), my sisters think the passionate/risk taker girl is fading away(which is no good), my friends think im loosing it but deep down i believe im doing the right thing, well sometimes i dont know, i believe my passion/focus have hanged and maybe it is about time i embrace this change.

How different are you from the young person you were when you were in matric; full dreams; oozing passion for what you wanted to be.
Back then it was all about me and my dreams, i wanted to do things for myself, achieve things for myself , prove a point, be on top but as i grow i have realised that as much as i achieve things that i have always hoped and worked for, do exceptional things, i dont find satisfaction i have hoped for, it is only when i put a smile on someone's face that i feel i have done something ... now it is more about others than myself ....

Who are you today?
I am Myname trying to be somebody that i wanted to be while i was young....all in all im still hustling.
How different are you from this day last year?
Not that different bcoz im still freindly, kind & broke.
How different are you from the young person you were when you were in matric; full dreams; oozing passion for what you wanted to be

Honestly i haven’t done the things i wanted to do while I was young. I haven't find the real Myname. Sometimes i look to my life & think if I’ve listened to my mum maybe my life would be better right now. Sometimes i do believe that i made some terrible mistakes but i believe sometimes we must be hurt in order to grow, we must fail in order to know. I will never stop dreaming. I will never lose hope. I am Myname, the dreamer.

wow BA this really makes one to think about a thing or two in ones life

Who are you today?
I am a young woman, brave, go getter and not afraid to face the world as an individual and be vocal about who and what I believe in and giving reason thereof

I am a young mother learning new things about life on a daily basis; amazed by how creation works and impressed by how Im taking care of one soul that is wholly dependant on me

I am one person who just realised that I love him a lot to can take a bullet for him, he makes me realise that I stopped living for myself when he was conceived and I take every breath consciuos thinking that he is all that and more in my life

I am a daughter; a mom; a true friend; a lover and soulmate to someone; I am a growing christian (who is trying her best to live a righteous life)

How different are you from this day last year?
well last year this time i was impatiently waiting for my little prince's arrival. his debutant day was supposed to be the 23rd and he came on 22nd

now i am a few kilos lighter that i was this day last year
ok jokes aside
i am now thinking of him before me or my needs. my level of maturity has increased not becaues i am a mom or a year older but because i have decided that i will not be the same person for 12 months without a noticeable change.
My intelligence is improving as I impart myself with knowledge from anything resourceful and I am continuing to behaving responsibily

I am savinng more money than I was last year
I am listening a lot than I did last year and God help me to shut up more often so that i can listen and digest what i heard before answering

How different are you from the young person you were when you were in matric; full dreams; oozing passion for what you wanted to be.
I am more of a dreamer and achiever than I was when I was in high school
Adolescent stage has passed and I am level headed.
I now know what counts, what never did; and what will always!

thanks to all of you who read and replied, and to those who read and gave this a thought. :)

nice

OMW blueroze this is so hard and got me thinking, how did I miss this one in the first place, I have no idea.

Who are you today?
I am a daughter, because the first person i prayed for this morning was my mother and realised how much I miss her normal self.

I am a sister, I realise every week how much my sisters care for me and plan to show them how much I love them as well.

How different are you from this day last year?

I have a better relationship with God, and myself.
I have pulled away from my close friends and I dont like it as I am becoming a loner, not a good thing at all.
I am still single, but open to a relationship. This time last year I wanted nothing to do with the opposite sex.
There are so many possibilities and things that i want to do, but I dont have time. I need an 8day week.

How different are you from the young person you were when you were in matric; full dreams; oozing passion for what you wanted to be.

More reserved than ever, I find it difficult to make friends at the same time I am very focussed on my dreams. They are less than what I had in matric, but more structured now and have a timeline to them. Like I know when must they be achieved!!

Am I what/who I wanted to be?

Careerwise, absolutely and still growing strong. Personally I am drifting away from what I wanted to be. The difficult thing now is trying to figure out how do I live with the new me if that is what i should be or get closer to being the person that I wanted to be.

Am I being realistic about my answer in the previous Q?

I think so, LOL

How can I amplify myself?

I dont know, but I think I should start by surrounding myself with people that are positive and dreamers.

I have tried being part of socials (not umholiswano type) but have noticed that I dont like alcohol and some of them are fundamentally based on being drunk and gossiping. There are other individuals within my social group that I truly admire though but I am afraid to approach them as they may think "ngiyabaphaphela".

I need to start going out more to meet interesting people.
