Today
Today is the day to work at being better than we were yesterday. Tomorrow is a distant destination that some of us may never experience. Now is all there is. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Duality
There is no meritocracy in this world, there is only autocracy. We can’t depend on the benevolence of others. Our success depends on our ingenuity. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Unapologetic
We don’t owe anyone anything. Who we do owe is ourselves. How small do we have to feel about ourselves to believe that another sacred life is ours to misuse and abuse. There are no upper echelons or downcasts, no masters or serfs. Resurrection is not for the dead, it is a sacrament for the […]
Consumed
Some of us are consumed about what our presumed opponents are doing that we neglect to work on our weaknesses. We believe that if we can obstruct another we can keep them from upending us. We put ourselves on a scale and seethes if anyone weighs in with the same weight as us. Life offers […]
Power
We don’t have to seek power, we are already powerful. The streams, rivers and seas are calm on the surface but their current reverberates below. Acknowledgement of our power in the silence of our being is the only lightning rod we need. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Life
We are all connected to the divine life force that can’t be contained. When we live in divine order with the Universe we can’t be immolated. Power isn’t loud, in silence it is made manifest. Call and response keeps us in alignment with our divine source. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Cruelty
Cruelty doesn’t foster subjugation, it strengthens resilience. If we aren’t the architects of our birth or our death how come we believe in our right to subjugate and break the resolve of others? How we treat others including sentient beings exposes our weakness. The world is not a stage to draw followers, it is a […]
Pause
Pause gives us time to recalibrate. If we neglect to pause it leads us into making compulsive decisions. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Introspection is my top tip to be successful in life
What’s your top tip to be successful in life? We have to be introspective. Neglecting to be fully present to all our faults and nuances in life robs us from accruing the success we justly deserve. Our weaknesses when confronted and corrected secures our success. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Flaws
Humans have flaws. People wear masks, and might never be outed in our lifetime. We cannot trust our eyes, we have to pay attention to behaviour, the true indicator of moral compass. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
