"Time As A Continuum"

I was on  Youtube , looking for content to elevate me and transform me when i stumbled upon it...

A short clip from one of Vusi Thembekwayo 's interviews where he was talking about how he is learning to see time as a continuum because many are times when we forget that this moment is not all there is but simply a "moment" in time. We get so caught up in the heat of the moment, forgetting that this moment is not all there is.

When we go through hard times or experience pain, we are so caught up in that feeling /emotion that we forget that this  is just a moment in time and it is bound to come to an end at some point.When this moment comes to an end, another moment will exist, this is not all there is to your life..

Even when we go through good times, we find ourselves caught up in that moment of joy and happiness, that we forget that this is just a moment in time and not all there is to life. What an intriguing thought this is, it suggests that we are at all times conscious of the fact that time is a continuous thing, not constant or permanent. At this very moment as I write these words, the time  is 15:10, just another moment in time.A few seconds from now the time will be 15:11, time is definitely a continuum and is ever changing.

From seconds to days, decades and centuries time is always changing in a continuous process. As the change of time continues to take place, situations and opinions will change, people and circumstances will change & that is all I want to remind you today.

Do not get caught up in the intensity of this moment that it consumes you completely because before this moment /circumstance another moment existed and after this one another one will have to Come into play.  I am in agreement with Vusi Thembekwayo, everything has a beginning and an end, no matter how hard or easy it is, it will end sooner or later.

Many of us end up making life altering desicions because we are caught in the heat of the moment, whether you are over the moon or feeling shattered at this moment, remember this is not all there is. Whatever state you are in or condition, remember this too shall pass and something else will always come up. We may not know ecxatly what the future has in store for us but I know it definitely has a bit  of something old, something new, something challenging and something unexpected and all we can do is wait for it to unfold.

Time is a continuum, ever changing, ever-evolving and everything has a beginning and an end, just like life itself, if it began it has to end at some point, that is just the process.

Sending blessings to Mr Thembekwayo, continue to inspire us.

Imagine You Are A Success

Psychology says that we are controlled by what we think, believe or imagine more than any other factor. Our beliefs control everything we do, If we believed (or rather imagined) that wearing clothes was useless, we would all be walking around naked. It is very imperative that we understand that we control our lives through the type of thoughts we choose to hold in our minds. Take the person who jumps in front of a speeding car on the highway(commits suicide), in their mind their action is justified and probably seen as necessary hence it is carried out. Now that i have laid my foundation... In his book Psychocybernetics, Maxwell Maltz says "Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the e result of our own images and beliefs gives us the lever that psychology has always needed for changing personality.Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to "practice" new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do.  This is possible because again—your nervous sy...

The Unwritten Rules of Africa: Navigating a Complex Identity (Economics part 1)

The economic life of the African continent is shaped by a complex mix of historical events and current realities. To truly understand it, we must examine the deep-rooted challenges and psychological patterns that emerged from centuries of outside control and resource extraction. A History of Economic Struggle The rule of economic struggle is deeply rooted in a colonial history of dependency. Foreign powers didn't just come to trade; they methodically took apart existing African economies. They dismissed local practices as "outdated" and forced new systems upon the people. This historical redirection of resources created a fundamental weakness, turning the continent into a mere supplier of raw materials. All the infrastructure they built, like railways and ports, was primarily designed to transport these resources from inland to the coast for export. This framework created an economic gap and a dependency that has continued long after African nations gained their independe...

A Transformed Mind

Many of us are rigid in thought hence we are stagnant in life. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds - our thought patterns (perceptions, beliefs..) One of my prayers these days is "God transform my mind". That is because i am well aware that if my mind is transformed, my life will be transformed. Our thoughts are often revealed in our actions. I am writing this right now because an idea came into my mind and i thought it was a great idea to express my revelation about my life in this manner. The action is preceded by thought. The word transformation is a compound word - transition & form or "formation". A transition takes time so it is imperative that we are patient and recognize that it will take time for our minds to be transformed. Transformation is a process often filled with pain and fear. That does not mean we must not persue change but bear in mind that it will be challenging.  Behaviors and/or habits lead to results but we often ...
