[Surprise excellence]

This was the first time in years that I couldn't hold back my tears for something that hit me in a different way. Something good I must say, happened to me yesterday as I was taking a stroll with a friend who's a content advisor and blog contributor. He asked me to accompany him to some client of his where I was greeted by his print outs of my blog's quotes mostly and other bits of this and that on his wall. My friend asked him some questions about me and found out he knew less but much for me was the level of the content he has.

After many good things I heard about my blog I was more than humbled, especially after my friend asked him what he'd do if he were to meet KgeleLeso and he said it'll be awesome and a wish he had after reading a few of the blog's pages. Said quiet a book full of what he'd tell him should they ever meet, until he said to him that it were better he face him right there and tell that to him and we both froze. I didn't know how to react as he asked if he's joking or for real that I'm me and that indeed am in his office. It was an honour for me. Nothing in my life beat that in the whole world. To have someone celebrate my presence in their space, priceless.

We ended up chatting for hours going through piles of my new and old works, it was tedious but thrilling at the same time to have someone experience me. And with this article I take my time to thank them for having given me that, and again thanking you all who keep taking their time to visit us everyday. Without your views and those comments there wouldn't have been more material to push honestly 'cause you necessitate that. I thank you with all my heart.

In conclusion: being a blogger is a great deal I now know, thanks to you guys. The magical part of it is in how we paint each temporarily with shadows as we meet and pass one another as strangers until we put recognition to you. How we build pictures of what certain people may be looking like is laughable when we meet them in the flesh.

The element of surprise to excellence is always a classic moment for me. Whomever I met all of them don't see me in myself. The level of excellence is too way off better than what they get to meet and some believe only once tested me at times. In short, my point here is that the frame and look aren't what make one be, but what's upstairs is. What I can't hide though is the joy I get when surprise excellence sting them. I'm no genius but a simple ordinaire who's a hardworking juggler in spaces he's interested in, thus I prefer working sans being in limelight. Let's keep being the surprise of excellence and be inspiring others...dp

  

[Belief over faith]

I have to admit that it's not everyone who asks themselves about this but a must for anyone who has hope for a better outcome. Some people are believers in self while others having faith in themselves.

The difference in the two is in how they view and draw inspiration from those dissimilar sources. The believer in self is dependent on their innate drive for their success, and the faith upholder turning to the higher being for their way through that's depriving selves the comfort of knowing they can make it on themselves by opting to put a virtual deity of all might in power to steer their output.

What's interesting is that the ability to be and do to become the desired outcome effectors lies solely in them, just that they need to project their sources of inner strength that is based on something. The power that they possess gets weakened every time they ignore it for some systematic force of yester world order that still prevails in today's world order that's guised by some as the era of the fourth industrial revolution. A meed goes to the break-away few who choose to run with the master key to unlock the door of reality to see what's beyond the world of this virtual deity.

In conclusion: it doesn't matter how you handle your outcome effection, but entails your derivation of passion bellowing. Faith and belief are passion ridden, albeit sans definitions of mental wiring. The core issue here is the rationale that it all but lies within you to determine how you channel your manner of self-motivation...dp

 

[Fear free niceties]

"Despise the free lunch if you want to retain your independence" [1], Robert Greene said. Being an untouchable one is pricier than thought, and none’ll tell you that. Sadly, what I’ve learned is that lessons you receive in life aren’t premeditated for you, but needing you to be ever ready for another lesson after the one you’ve just had all the time. Boitumelo Madisha said that "we’re in class all the time in life, and we live in write of our daily rights and wrongs" [2]. And, in addition to that I say: ‘Life’s rights are wrongs of wrongs learned to be unwronged’ [3].

We all started from zero and did things that left us up or down, but all being results of us having done something, of which matters more than having done nothing at all. It’s better being named something somewhere; a somebody who failed or made it, than a nobody nowhere. But then, comes a point where you get to be somewhere in life where you get offered nice things. What you should always ask self is what do they want of you, how big the want is, whom it benefits, and where it’ll leave you? There’re things that if not question their motive for their end result, will leave you with a scathed end goal. Your independence is mightier and attractive to a lot of opportunists to derail it, so, stay firm.

Should you master your heart and mind, know that your life’s just begun. Knowing your purpose in each space you find self occupying is important for your growth and certainty. It helps in letting you pick where to invest most of your time at. Again, who’s at loss for your time in your availability? Go where you’re needed sans staying too long to the point of free lunch, and where it is advanced, to make sure you contribute somehow so you leave being level with the host. It is funny I know but it’s key in weighing your scale on future return favours and other related burdens.

Be fearful of anything nice and freely given because when someone offer something nice for free, chances are they expect something in return as some are genuine gifts with no strings attached whilst some are nothing but pure hooks to capture you by. Hooks come in many ways like free info about something valuable to you, free cost service to you, free access to someone or something, etc, that results in you receiving special treatment or favour over others. So, if you can guard against such you’ll leave a happy life. Free niceties are a daily thing for those in high places that are but not giving them joy they expected out of them. Next time someone advances a free nicety you need to probe for their reason and intent thereof before your decision otherwise you’ll regret it later. Asking before acceptance gives you a chance at opting in or out. In the real world nothing is ever free, best they be reminded lest they forgot. Know always, your independence rely on that answer from them and in how you respond to it. Accept anything that is of meaningful boost to your life for such carries value of direct impact.

In conclusion: it doesn’t matter how and who the giver is, be sure to give back sooner or later, unless it be a return of favour to you. Put yourself in the position of leverage all the time, make others owe you favours in return rather. Be generous and you’ll have a powered life...dp

[Break away aftermath]

In politics, sports, marriage, friendship, partnership, and religion, there's always a break away from the one you rooted for and at times claimed as the best and are prepared to die for. But then, in a moon's shadow hear that that self-proclaimed supporter has defected from or defeased their affiliation or allegiance. This's just the nature of anything done in joint, it has probability of a split.

When we form any entity, there're different ways to it. The formation may be a union or organization or movement, but what is sure to happen is that there's a way of doing it and that alone a build up to a bind. It doesn't matter if it's a formal or informal thing, but the bind by nature brings with a bond that breeds a culture and secrecy that accompanies it.

What one should ask during the formation of the bind is what to do after the failure of their relationship, suppose it reach a dead end. This isn't negativity or doomsaying but rather a factual forethought that deserves a place in the formation phase, else you'd be lying to selves if avoid the subject. Truth is, the most of people who break away from a particular faction or group to the other do harm in order to be accepted into the other, and what they say or do a betrayal of trust had in them. So, what to do with such in such an instance?

In conclusion: a break away a cultbust on its own that deserves a measure of nipping it at instance if not at source point. Any sole that turns its back on its promise not worth of existence and extolment. A traitor of trust if not made to learn their wrong is unacceptable will not cease. A big "if but" is when the promise wasn't followed by "what if you surrender?" question.

The break away is natural phenomenon of any bind it's a known fact that just needs a structured channel or procedure to it's mutuality. How you build should be in sync with its demolition same as take off having a landing. What is clear is the justification of dealing with deviation from the set mutuality agreed to as a collective during formation. And but, the deep water horizon to penalties and other ways to the element of that break away remains a skysill left to the collective to navigate its turbulence with clean break.

A break away aftermath should be a continuum not a damage to where you were. It should be a move that doesn't leave a bitter taste in others mouths, so, be that example of showing the correct way to it by following internal protocols...dp

 

[Creating own luck]

Creating one's own luck is an art form that in many a case believed to be a per chance notion, but rather an also rehearsed occurrence of convenience if work hard on its perfection. When you are creating your luck, you look first into the chance of emerging unscathed in the department of your reputation as doing so is a risk that may go either way in terms of you owning the success of it.

The core is in how you cease your opportunity, first in spotting the chance and secondly in how you execute your chance creation. If it be that you lack the courage to attack the target, don't force it until you're confident enough to do so.

A lot of people failed to woo their targets due to lackluster performance in attaching their being to the self-created opportunity by going in unprepared or attending to the chance with fear, and find themselves in the midst of that wished for luck that but got wasted by premature attack.

In conclusion: such situations of created luck needs one to be breaking seams to the brink with charisma for it's at most important as you don't want to be easily forgotten. So, like an artwork producer, you ought to wax lyrically your moment to leave that everlasting mark...dp

 

[Serving the purpose]

What I’m to say here is simply about giving an alternate between career and monas. As the selves we are, each has a sole purpose that may though in sync with others, is but unique in its launch.

Each has a certain way of doing things that distinguishes them from the rest. The secret to that unique approach and sense of execution does not come from us, but from some source that we all ought to know and honour. That very source is the reflection of the unique you that makes me also a unique sole. To ‘the source’ [1] (being God), we all are his metal ploughs that no matter their different sizes are but of same importance to Him as each has a row to make (a purpose to serve).

Theocratic purpose

God gave us two gifts when we were born; the first is ability to learn, apply knowledge and sustain ourselves, and the second gift is that of giving back. If one does not serve his intended purpose, it literally means that they are neglecting their existence worth in God’s ecosystem - hence theocratic purpose.

Each of us has their own designed career in God’s kingdom. It is through that that we ought to channel our gratitude. Its mode of spread is oral, visual or acting. It’s only the soul in connection with the source that’ll dictate to the sole which element to elect.

In God’s way, there is no performance measure put in place, but rather an extension of the innate drive to do; that to Him matters the most. Again, to Him, how long it takes one to respond to the calling is of no importance. What we should be concerned about is being an active participant in theocracy conduit.  

Conquering by the radius

When you give back, you start by doing so in your own vicinity. Touching the lives of the very ones next to you is empowering bilaterally in that what you plough will see you gain favour with God and those imparted your gift experiencing the effect.

As beings, we do in numbers as we are in numbers whilst God does wholly. People are physical beings and God a spiritual being and, that translating to the fact that He rules with absence and we do in presence. He is limitless and we are limited in the sense that we give back with presence in current spaces we are planted in at a given time, one person at a time replicating results in graceful leaps whilst He is with each everywhere at any given situation strengthening us to serve more.

Unify formal self with spiritual self

To many, career is only about the formal side of themselves. What they tend to forget is that career ‘professional advancement’ is not bound to that only facet, but also ‘a progress through life’.

Therefore, anyone with a professional advancement can, if not should, marry that front with their progress through life. Some are fortunate to have had that in them. In any situation of formal self, one needs to reward God by aligning that with their God given purpose. For instance; "if you are an educator, don’t just teach to help learners pass, but rather capacitate them for life" [2]. Lead the active purpose role not the passive one. Be the reason the next soul met good in their life (who you are should better the other with what you are). 'Be the first in self and the next self to the self next' [3].

This does not end there. Some formal selves do  "dark jobs that are to society deemed dirty and taboo" [4]. "From that, carve a cleansing niche to aid your taint to remain purposefully afloat" [5]. Serving the purpose should come naturally, not be forced, and thus the abandonment of self-praise in doing so. Be modest in serve and God will sprinkle his mercy upon you, not by fluke but by certainty.

Purpose is not a test. Purpose is an expansion of successive evolution. How you serve today should form base for near future relevance. What you serve now must be the platform for tomorrow’s conformable ensemble.

Purpose as a ministry

To me, purpose is a ministry and, each monad destined to serve its own in its own way. All are titled in collectives but entitled to serve in own’s twist. With that said, question is: “Am I the material for the purpose for which I’m to serve?” and also that, “how honest am I to my purpose?”      

Purpose is not some phenomenon that one goes out in scrounge of, no, it actually lie dormant therein, waiting for one to ignite it. Just like passion, purpose never wane off. Purpose manifests in active souls. It should be noted though that as a power tool, it be handled with utmost care as it can easily corrupt careless self-justifying souls – thus being the material or not for the purpose. Again, “do my actions and ways qualify me for the purpose, or am I a misfit?”

Truth is, purpose starts as a mantra ensconced deeply within each soul that through stages spew bits of a sole’s ministry. None is above their purpose. We are only below par or on par and also no competition as none has the biggest purpose as we all are here to serve in interfuse with other soles’ purposes. It is a complex union that is bigger than our combined alter egos.

In conclusion: purpose is about personal touch; it’s about syncretising differing ministries via one’s divine gift and spread through presence not semblance, it’s a movement, thence “serving your purpose by the radius”.

This should not be a flummoxed matter. Purpose on its own weighs respect, humbleness, inner peace, common love and calmed nature, with which all its elements ennui iblis. Wherefore, listen to that voice within, and you'll have no reason to nix your purpose...

[In presence but not in sight]

What to do when you’re taught something that isn’t new to you? The answer is never going to come out of here, but out of you. What I got told so far by those I posed it to was to either leave, or to create a diversion from the topic or keep adding to show you know so it be cut or be busy thinking about something else that is beneficial. What I never did was give my opinion on their answers.

But of all the responses I received, there’s been one that stood out for me, that ended up writing this article. The answer was; “I’ll be there in presence but not in sight.” and I spinned 180º and found myself quick back to 90º. That to me, meant he’ll pretend to not know and receive the message anew.

For me, I understood something at the end, nobody thinks about where they’ll be taught the very old thing or subject. If they thought of that, their answers would’ve turned out differently crafted. Also, won’t there be something new to pick up from there? As part of an awesome threesome ensemble, I got to learn a lot about the same lesson or message offered in three dimensional conforths, the power of keywords to take away from that is indescribable still for me to date. With 3SI1, that’s what happens.

Our differing attitudes towards learning are something not worth ignoring as they are so insightful to just pass by. Out of one’s ignorance or misunderstanding comes out a different understanding in you, something that’s remarkable. In presence but not in sight, similar to being there physically but in mind somewhere. Then, again, comes something atop that, which is applying your understanding. And in plain terms, in presence but not in sight, gives me being there but not visible. It pretty much tells of you having no choice of control in that it’s others in how they view you. It happens at times in life that you be there in front of people but be that they don’t see you. This leaves you asking self what to do in order to be seen, but truth is they do see you just that they choose to ignore you. As such to me again, it said same about that answer. And but also, find some who by choice be there and not want to be seen, those are the ones with choice in sighting thereof.

In conclusion: a pride shattering phrase to this: “poverty hides you”[1]; your failed presentation of own appearance may reflect nothing worth paying attention to. A below average look makes you not shine as it dims your confidence and make you not be seen in spaces you’re in. Being in presence but not in sight happens in many phases of our lives given the many obstacles that hides us from the limelight, and but with something in hand you do shine and are noticeable to even that eye trying hard to notice your presence. It remains important for you to make that sight of yours be remembered in absence...dp
