My philosophy for a happy life

I came across this video seeking for a little bit of motivation. I wanted to compalin about something that is going on in  my life. Then I thought of those who don't  have the voice of complaining and I called myself into order by going through YouTube to search for something meaningful to share with you.

I am fully motivated. I am left with thoughts that came to my mind while watching this wonderful video. I felt like sometimes when we complain we don't know why we do so because there are people who face more difficulties than we do. We'll complain about how long we walk home from school or work forgetting that there are people who would do anything to get a pair of legs. We'll complain about how "fat" we are when some need those extra kilos to survive. Or even complain about how our neighbours get rich when we get poorer but never think of doing anything productive with our lives.

Maybe we should complain about how much we complain to realise how irritating we are. No one has a perfect life but those who look perfect to those who think they are imperfect know how to smile when things are tough. Let us learn to appreciate  more and complain less. whenever you think of being negative to yourself think of what would happen if you didn't have what you are complaining about.

I am Paballo Seipei and I found a philosophy of a happy life.

We all face difficulties

When things go wrong, take time to be alone and just think.

Sometimes we go to sleep stressed out, not knowing what we are going to do the next day. Sometimes we don’t even wish to see the next day because things might be going so wrong that death seems beautiful. We face difficulties that seem like they can’t be fixed and don’t know where to start. But, we eventually take a sleep after a long time of thinking, leading to mind exhaustion. 

We think of ways to get through what we are facing and come up with decisions that we want to implement the next day. Some are lucky to wake up with a new view of life and some continue with their misery but the day comes and it has to be faced. What we need to learn is that time doesn’t stay still and wait for us to recover. We might be going through hell but time will pass and days will go. I just woke up realising that life is bigger than what we go through and life won’t feel sorry for us. So, let us not feel sorry for ourselves and do what needs to be done.

I am blessed to see another day and to realise that some people face more difficulties than I do; therefore I am taking each day as it comes. 

Good morning world, I am Paballo Seipei and I am taking each day as a blessing. #Peace

Uniting Presbyterian Young Women's Fellowship

Today was an emotional day for me and my peers at church. We took yet another oath of being followers of Christ. Another stage of affiliation called the Uniting Presbyterian Young Women's Fellowship. We began another journey of spiritual growth.

We wore our uniform in both excitement and sadness. It was an excitement of wearing a uniform that most young women don't want to be associated with because of many reasons, one being "we are too young to bind ourselves in God's staff, we still want to enjoy life" forgetting that God is always with us wherever we are and deserves to be given all the praise all the time. Who said life can't be enjoyed when you choose God's path? Anyways, It was sad to hear the beautiful messages from the our Miniters' wives who played a big part in this life event. Those women shared beautiful stories and messages that made some to shed tears relating back to their life's experiences. They made a nice analysis of an Eagle's life, I will share the story on my next blog.

It was amazing to see the support we had from our families, friends and our elders at church. It meant a lot to us. I pray to God that it does not end here but be a beginning of something new. I thank Him for this wonderful thing he led us to and the love He has for us. In Jesus name Amen...#Peace

I am blessed.

Me expressing how blessed I am.

It is not often that we speak about how blessed we are but too quick at complaining when we feel like blessings are for others and not for us. I went home from work yesterday feeling blessed to have my family, my job, my friends and every little thing I have. It is not often that we feel blessed to have our jobs but we are very quick at pointing out the things we don’t like about them. It is not often that we feel blessed to go to sleep with a full stomach but it is likely that we complain about never eating at fancy restaurants. Blessings are not about what we feel we deserve but about what we have. I stopped complaining and enjoy the benefits of God's presence in my life. I feel blessed to know that I am blessed on a daily basis. If we can change being negative about our lives then maybe we’ll see and appreciate the blessings we have.  I remember telling my aunt that I live by Matthews scripture that says we mustn’t worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. I claimed that scripture as my percept in life and I feel blessed because God surprises me daily.

Hi, my name is Paballo Seipei and I am blessed.

Selfie with them Zebras!

I was so lucky to come back to work after a weekend of relaxation at home to find Zebras out in the park to be admired. After my experience on Friday, I decided to let go of the hunt and wait for them to come looking for me! *Wishful thinking*. But I found them enjoying the park and decided to take pictures of them, and a selfie of course. They are not as big as I saw them when I was scared and running around with Mpho. I guess I was a little delusional. Anyways, The Zebras in our park are so cute and lovely. Maybe Cute and Lovely should be their names...Oh, I just want to give them big hugs and kisses...*Another wishful thinking.* #sigh

We have Zebra’s at work!

Mpho & I laughing at our childish behaviour

Have I mentioned that I work in a “zoo”? I can’t remember sharing this but I am proud to mention that I do. It’s called the Mogale Business Park. Today the park welcomed two new members, the vulnerable, big Zebras! We didn’t expect such giants, they gave us a fright and we ran separate directions. We were told not to interrupt them, just to give them time to settle in but the curious Mpho and Paballo went on a Zebra hunt. We wanted to take “selfies” with them but they are too agitated, so I decided to take pictures with the friendly ones instead. Hopefully they’ll allow us to take pics after two weeks. I am so excited i can't hide it!

Mpho and I running away from the Zebras lol
