Entitlement

Who are we to believe that we ought to live at the expense of our extended family members? Sowers don’t sow so that reapers can reap. We can emulate our family members but refrain from sponging. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Compulsion to Know

We have to let go of the need to insert ourselves in other people’s business. The only business we should be invested in is our own business. Dwelling on someone else’s success or failure robs us of the ability to carve our own success story. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Family

Bloodline isn’t the basis of family. We can be maligned, and misused by those we consider to be our family. Deception has no boundary. Disentangling ourselves from our amoral family is the perfect antidote. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Resources

The world is full of expansionistic pundits, we are bombarded with pictures showcasing what success looks like, a life full of lucre and excesses. We are shamed into believing that that lifestyle can soon become ours if we work hard enough. Work doesn’t bring access to riches. Human resource is most essential to harvesting mines, […]

Attachment

When there aren’t any physical chains we can take flight, but what keeps us stranded are our attachments to things. Luggage is a drag, without luggage there is buoyancy in the choices we make. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Justice

The scale that weighs justice is skewed towards showing deference to those who are considered superior and irreverence towards those who are considered to be inferior. Bedlam seems to be the order of the day. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Writing

What do you enjoy most about writing? Writing brings to life the muse that lives within me. It’s like mining, I continuously keep digging, and when I find that lode I realize that I have just skimmed the surface and that lying latent within me is a treasure trove of ideas waiting to be birthed. […]

Vision

We have got to become visionaries, mapping our lives is essential to our well being. Jealousy distorts our vision, we become fixated on what others are accomplishing instead of focusing on bringing into existence that which is stagnant within us. We rob ourselves of oxygen by looking without instead of within. Fulfilling our own needs […]

Endings

Without endings new beginnings are negligible. Life is cyclical, change occurs in all of our lives. We can only adapt, there is nothing else we can do about it. Letting go of the past and allowing change to enrich our lives is the only antidote that can bring us to a place of reverence and […]
