Cause and Effect

There is always cause and effect in every thought we think, in every word we utter, in every action we take. That is why it matters to be always deliberate and intentional about everything. When we are deliberate and intentional we create space for synergy in our lives. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Weakness versus Strength

Our strengths aren’t in need of a workout. Our weaknesses are what we need to work on. We are all aware of our weaknesses although we tend to feign ignorance by denying their existence. There is no shame in having weaknesses, for if worked on they become our greatest strength. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Hard Work

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? Hard work isn’t fulfilling, it is back breaking. If we indulge in the pleasure of reading history it would open an aperture into the lie that hard work is fulfilling, Workers are the ones living in perpetual poverty while the land owners enjoy a life […]

Repetitive Behaviour

Why are we repetitive in what we do? Is it working for us because of our skill in bending the will of those we consider our asset? Life is always in motion, what we do today might become impossible to accomplish tomorrow. That is why it is always in our best interest to consider the […]

Literacy

Literacy is important. If we aren’t literate we can’t effectively process information whether we are debating, reading or writing. Freedom can be fickle in times like these but knowledge of all of history gives us an aperture into why people behave in the way they do. Same playbook, only different players. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Now

Our opportune moment is now. What ever we have to do we must do . Moments are transient. We can’t recapture them. Our past is history. There is no future for we exist on linear time. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Buying Basic Clothes

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? I regret not putting this advice into practice in my former years. I thank this person posthumously because styles change and we aren’t putting on a fashion show for an audience, we just need to dress according to the standard that is required of us in […]

There are no sides

A divided house cannot stand, love unites, hatred disparages. We reap what we sow. Now is the time for us to do an autopsy on our beliefs and ask ourselves: how does it serve us? We can maim, subject, obliterate, mortify and criminalize but is that how we want to define our legacy? We cannot […]
