Our life is synonymous with being the captain of a ship, charged with the safety of the crew and passengers. We have to map our destinations and be aware of the pitfalls along the way. The past informs us, the present is where we need to apply the lessons learned from our past, if we […]
We are like mannequins, we dress to impress. The robes we wear distinguishes us from others, but it has no relationship to our character, honesty or human dignity. It’s just decorative, it’s only a ploy. We have to unwrap people the same way we unwrap gifts, layer by layer. Humans are duplicitous, we have to […]
We cannot tap dance around our problems, for if we do, it would fester and populate. It’s a matter of where we are spiritually, our perspectives and our involvement, whether it is emotional or financial.

What’s the most underrated life skill? The most underrated life skill is being able to manage oneself. We have to be assertive, goal oriented, disciplined, moral and ethical. Mastery of self is a worthy skill that’s attainable to us all. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
