Greed

All that we need is already provided by this Universe for us. On the other hand those of us who are consumed with greed, plunder and rape not only this earth but our fellow human beings. Living according to our means is not only a motto for the dispossessed but also for those who live […]

Ah! A sigh of Relief

I was unhappy about the fact that people having been born had to die and I thought what a horrible life, why does birth have to end in death? Then I had a revelation that death was the only unifying force, for it plucked both the villain and the righteous. Also if there wasn’t death, […]

Rattled

When we are rattled because we don’t know why things are the way they are, we can’t breathe because the air smells like soot. If we listen we will hear a voice saying: “ Go within, there is a wealth of knowledge that is available to you. Ask and you will be counselled.” The answer […]

Prioritizing our Time

There are things that matters more than money and influence and that is spending time with ourselves and our family, especially our children. The time we have to spend with our kids is short.

The End

Today 2020 ends. Nothing lasts forever. Everything that happened this year whether it was bad or good teaches us something about ourselves. We can either use the lessons as positive reinforcement or we can lose them. The ones we lose don’t disappear, they show up in different disguises until we pay heed to our choices. […]

Blurred Vision

How we see ourselves matters. What we expect of ourselves matters. Our expectations should match the effort and work we apply to the life we want to live and experience. This life is all we have. A grifter lives a life built on lies. © Norma Bobb-Semple

Free Will

We all have free will over our lives and the pursuits we want to undertake. Our decisions are at the behest of ourselves and no one else. There is no other contract we are bound by other than the contract we made with ourselves. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2020
