Focus on Being
Focusing on what could have been, instead of what is, is an adventure in futility. We have to focus on who we have become in spite of the disparities in our lives. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Excuse
If we make excuses for people who commit heinous acts do we consider ourselves pious or is it because we too carry the same despicable seeds? We reveal our character through the choices we make. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Situation
Every situation we encounter gives us remedial tools. What happens isn’t of significance. It is how we manage the storm that matters. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Separate
If we can’t separate truth from fiction, how can we distinguish love from infamy. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Participant
As a participant in the feast we can’t feign innocence. Hands are washed before gorging, not after as a form of absolution. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Reconnecting
We have to reconnect with who we truly are, not the brainwashed, fear driven, scared individual we were molded to be. The same power that powers the winds, the seas, rivers, streams and trees resides in us. We have to return to our essence, the manifestation of all that is good. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Forgiveness
Instead of expecting others to offer forgiveness we have to ask ourselves what our motive is before acting on our impulses. We can only have expectations of ourselves, and we ought not to use religion as a shield. We have to think on everything we say and do. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Healing
Healing comes with acknowledging how far from our past customs we have been led astray and the impetus to return to our roots. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Responsibility
We are the only ones responsible for fashioning our lives. It’s folly to follow the edicts of others. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Instinct
Follow your instinct. If a thing seems to be awry, it might very well be so. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
