The Present

Life is too short for us to walk in lock step. We have to strategize in the present, for the present is all we have. The past is informative to what choices we make in the present. Our present choices is what determines our future. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

What Matters

The past teaches. The present is where the hard work is done. The future is forged from the ashes of the present. You can’t change the past, it is gone. Only the present matters. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025

Nemesis

Our nemesis is our naivety and culpability. We believe that co-opting rewards us with stability. Establishing unity and staying true to our convictions is the path to a better future. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Consciousness

Yesterday is an illusion, today is where the opportunity is offered to make ourselves and our world a better place. Our future is determined by what choices we make moment by moment. The present is all there is, no past, no future. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

The Present

The past is related to the present, the future is dependent on the present. We have to sew the seeds in our present to be able to reap the fruits in our future. This present moment is pregnant with all the possibilities of our future. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022

Don’t Look Away

We cannot look away from the devastation that is occurring on earth. It doesn’t mean that because we aren’t presently affected we won’t be a casualty in the future. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022

Time

Now is the only time that is relevant. The past can inform. The future can be envisioned. The present is where the work is done. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022

Decisions

We have to be decisive with the decisions we make in the present, because the decisions we make in the present affects our future for better or worst. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022
