We are on a psychotic course, collision is inevitable. Earth is our mother, she sustains life after birth and cradles it after death. Greed and avarice destroys lives, but compassion and love boosts and energizes it. No one is on their way to help us, the dinghy we are in is sinking, we can swim […]
Pity only appears in the lexicon of those whose happiness is dependent on the state of being of others. In this short sojourn let’s put our energies into becoming more of who we are, instead of being energized by another’s downfall. A downfall in our eyes is a gateway for another’s ascendancy. We have to […]
Truth doesn’t need seasoning, it arrives without a bitter taste. A lie on the other hand is coated with inconsistencies, which needs to be defended, as its threads keep unraveling. Truth can stand alone, while a lie depends on an advocate to defend the indefensible. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Contentment is a state of being. If we are satisfied with who we are and where we are, we would be in a state of euphoria all of the time. Money and status can’t buy contentment, we either have it or we don’t. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Before questioning as to why things are happening to us we have to recalibrate and remember that we hold the key to unlock every obstacle that is placed in our way. When pressure is applied the release valve automatically opens. Constraints are like exams, success only comes to those who apply themselves. Our deliverance is […]
The only control we have is over ourselves and no one else. Trying to control others exposes our compulsive tendencies . If we are invested in steering our own life there won’t be time to intercede in the lives of others. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
In our formative years we are coerced into believing what our parents and teachers tell us about ourselves, and our history. But when we become adults we ought to question the assumptions we were fed and decide with due diligence what’s false and what’s true. Blind adherence can be antithetical to our well being. © […]
Reflection mirrors who we are. If we don’t examine our ticks and compulsions we impede our growth. We are a work in progress and our character matters. How we choose to be is not dependent on what other people think. Our work is never done if partisan and inequality continues to plague this universe. © […]
The loss of one’s integrity doesn’t advance credibility. If we can’t be true to ourselves how can we be true to anyone else? Truth is based on facts, it can’t be twisted like a pretzel. Owning our indiscretions frees us from self incrimination. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
Today is a gift. What are we going to do about it? Projects can’t be shelved away for another day when all there is, is this moment, of this day. We are symbolic with seeds, we grow into that which we are, spiritually and emotionally. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2026
