Perspective

We are indoctrinated into believing that attaining prominence and riches is through ambition and hard work. Is it? If it is, how do most of us only eke out an existence? What we are programmed to believe is different from what we see. What we see is more reliable than what we are told. Belief […]

Transition

Every day people transition from womb to life and from life to tomb. It’s pertinent that we dwell on awakening our consciousness and become an agent of peace. No one, regardless of the status we want to assign them, is better than another person. We all came from the same source and to the same […]

Casting Spells

Whether we want to believe it or not we are all casting spells through every word we speak. We ought to dwell on the things that brings joy into our lives. To be distracted and focused on the lives of other people, while neglecting our own, only keeps us spiralling into a state of derangement. […]

Friendships

A friendship doesn’t signal credibility. We should ask ourselves why are people attracted to us, like bees are to pollen. What’s the end game? If we don’t observe and interrogate the people we have in our circle we will forever be a victim of their machinations. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026

Jealousy

Jealousy abides in the hearts and minds of those who are supercilious. They can’t help themselves. Their sight is blinded by their obsession that they have to compete by any means possible. Pity the man or woman who can’t dream about their own path but begrudgingly compete to keep up with their imaginary competitors. Exceptionalism […]

Programmed

We are all programmed to fit a mould. Our beliefs are separate from the essence of who we are. Babies and animals show unconditional love and acceptance. We force allegiance through our reward and punishment methods. Manipulation is like the tides, they rise and they fall. We humans are a microcosm of this universe, we […]
