SELF REHABILITATION AFTER FAILING IN A BIG LEAP

By Brandly Mathibela

When one tries to leap into a mentality of success the likeliness of failure weighs lighter than that of the opposite, but when it comes to reality there are quite a lot of qualities that one's mindset has to consist of because in the mist of failure one will suffer thudding blows to the mentality which will definitely leave permanent scars. In that context and going forward one's energy shall be altered with, and result in a mind and heart that think in a slack tune.

The new tune created by permanent scars shows up as a character of skepticism and the fear of going all  committed towards one's dreams and aspirations. People often resort to convenient alternatives due to the fear of failing in their own lanes, compromise their dreams for something totally different due to the low self-esteem created by the failure of the initial maneuvers.

The questions that emerge are: How does one rehabilitate oneself from the previous failure's trauma, rekindle the attraction one had towards success, how do you begin to think you are ready for challenges  though it is not known by anyone what to expect, How do you get rid of the bad memories left by failure?

FIRST TIME PARENT (MY JOURNEY)

FIRST TIME PARENT (My journey)

BY Rebecca Masina

It all seems easy until it is you having to go through it. For me I never thought that I could nail this parenthood thing. I never thought I could be this good. I’ve always been that crazy, happy and a person who always makes jokes. I don’t remember being serious about life. Well I had that thing of I will be serious when the time comes and for now it is just my time to be me and enjoy being Rebecca. I raised my sisters kid Gomolemo and learnt a lot from raising her. I did everything that a mother can and should do for a new born to a toddler. Well except for breastfeeding because I wasn’t her mom.  From there I have never thought of my self being a mom let alone having my own bundle of joy, my own photo copy. I bet almost everyone was shocked to hear and see me being pregnant including myself. Even after eight months I still did not believe it was me who was pregnant.

My little one was always kicking me so bad it hurt and did not want her to kick anymore. I was  a month away to giving birth but still it wasn’t in my mind that I was about to be a mom. As crazy as I seemed, most people were even asking what kind of a mom I am going to be to my child because I was never serious. Weeks away I still was not prepared. Not even bought anything for the baby or prepared anything. I hated how she kicked me but when she was not kicking I was getting worried.

Always had that friend who sponsored my crazy cravings (Lebo Mamabolo). This lady went through hell as if she was the father of my baby. She took a lot of crap from me. Stood by me even though I gave her tough times. Thank you LEE. **/…Askere Modimo ago boke.

Oh well soon I got into labor at the best ever hospital, where I almost drove nurses crazy. Aah labor pains are no child’s play. 27+ hours of hectic labor pains. Hope you understand the pain that I was in. then they asked me if I was going to come again. Lol well after what I have experienced I do not know.

After those hours with God’s Grace I gave birth to a baby girl and named her Kagiso. She is my benediction. From that hour I knew it was the beginning of a long life journey. Just because some of us raised kids at our places, then taking care of Kagiso did not need me to always call my mom to help me. I did everything myself. Today I call her Formula 1 because she’s too active and speaks a lot of gibberish, she has a loud voice and she’s a strong lady. She fights for her things. She’s my all. And even today I still cannot believe am her mom. Only 10 months old, but already calls me mama. Already walks to every room she wants to go to. The way she responds to her dads call… wonders. Granny always complaining about the mess but hey what we can do. We put together then few seconds she’s marking her territory that she’s here. Mess up the house in seconds. Not forgetting that she’s a dancer. That she took from her aunt.

few minutes born...Kagiso

 We love her. Kagiso ya rona.

DEAR UNFAIR

DEAR UNFAIR

By Rebecca Masina

Putting up a face is not easy at all. You can do it as many times to try to perfect it but hey it is very hard out there. You always see people out there sitting and saying there are no jobs and you will be thinking “yes there are no jobs because you are sitting here and waiting for a job to come to you”. Well sometimes judging is wrong, concluding without facts it is wrong. We all have dreams. They might be bigger or smaller but the truth remains that we all have dreams. Size does not matter. I for one have been under a lot of strain yet no one can really tell that I have.

Some people out there when they say they tried and they even thinking of giving up, it is not because they are lazy or they are not motivated. Truth is you can go to school and study hard for that certificate, diploma, and degree and to mention a few. At the end you still have to go out there and look for a job. Jobs are scares not to mention that, these days it is all about who you know and not what you have. Our papers these days do not weigh as much. One may be qualified more than the other but just because you don’t know someone, then you lose the opportunity that you worked hard for. That we call “life is hard” oh yes “life is unfair”.

Isn’t that we go to higher institution so that we can better our lives? Yet it seems like it is the more we go deeper into poverty. Names are put for people who try to make money by selling their bodies and judge them, yet we do not know where they come from. We did not walk in their shoes.

People with university papers have been at home for more than 4 four years without jobs. They tried, hustled like nobody’s business, but no luck. On the other hand some have to give out cash to get jobs. How will you be able to give cash that you don’t have in order to get a job? The world we live in. if you go to many companies to check who has the right papers for the positions they are in, well you will see things. “Shockers”. We are told and taught to be entrepreneurs but let’s face it not everyone can be an entrepreneur. Same as not all of us can sing. It has its own people.

some people even resort to crime.

It is said that a prayer helps and Gods timing is always the best. Well it’s all up to how much you believe. No one is opposing that statement but you spend more than a decade after graduating looking for job and you still say Gods timing is always the best? Huh? We pray, we praise and believe but for how long? Pray until something happens.  That statement is always said but those who already made it and I am sure they only saying that and them, themselves did not do it. It is motivation but for how long?

DEAR UNFAIR as we believing.

ITS A LEAP YEAR LADIES

IT’S A LEAP YEAR LADIES.

It is that month that gets couples closer to each other. Treat each other with more love and gifts. It’s a month that hopefuls also come out and seek other hopefuls. It called a Love Month “kgwedi ya baratani”.  On the 14^th of February couples will be having that extra love and showing more affection to each other. Well that’s to those who enjoy it. Have you got your valentines date yet?

Most people say to them Valentine’s Day is every day or it should be every day. Well I for one think that those people are the ones  that do not have anything to do or anyone to spoil them, so they hating on those who celebrate it. Well get a hobby and leave those who celebrate it to celebrate it. It is not our fault that you don’t have anyone to spoil you. Lol hater! Why aren’t you saying the same things when it is your birthday?

“What a lover’s heart knows let no man’s brain dispute.” ― Aberjhani,

OH well guess what?? It is a leap year. Yeap yes it is ladies. You now don’t have to wait on him to hit on you. This year you can make things happen. He’s been taking too long to open up. Well this is your year, your chance. Tell him how you feel.  “Mo shele”- propose to him. If you don’t then you going to have to wait for another four years dear. Let love rule this month. It is yours. You deserve it.

“If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love”. - Maya Angelou

Love should be happiness, support, communication, loyalty, trust, comfort and fun, fun, fun.

“Most people are slow to champion love because they fear the transformation it brings into their lives. And make no mistake about it: love does take over and transform the schemes and operations of our egos in a very mighty way.” ― Aberjhani

BEING THE OTHER WOMEN

BEING THE OTHER WOMEN

By Rebecca Masina

How does it feel being the other women and knowing that you are one? Are there any benefits that come with being the other women? What are the gains? How do you respond when they ask you questions about being the other women? How will the first women feel when she finds out that you are busy with their partner and you know of their existence? Are you planning to take her spot? Have you been guaranteed that the spot will soon be yours?

Totally you must be confused. Isn’t it that the first thing that he must have done when he realized that he is in love with you was to leave the person that they are involved with? Oh I forgot that you know of the first women. Keng are you interested in polygamy? Keng banna bafedile or vele wena you are a marriage/relationship breaker?

We are totally not against what you believe in. well after all its your choice but do not expect to be the first as you know there is someone already in that position. Keng it’s called sacrificing for the one you love or you hoping for something or you have plans for that? Lol ai shame some people, you like giving your selves endless and unnecessary jobs/responsibilities.

Holding or trapping him with a baby is not an option my dear. Ba tsamaya ntse hole byao.

Have you ever thought about your reputation? Or you ae that type that does not care about what other people say or think?, obviously it is not about other people but you and your person but hey you must be ready for anything that comes your way. Your life is precious and you deserve better than being second best. No one is opposing anything. It is your life, live it and live it to the fullest.

Love and respect yourself. Consider self-love and self-worth before anything.

 

WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE

WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE/DISRESPECT

By Rebecca Masina

We all have problems or what we may call challenges in our lives especially when growing up. Maybe you lacked confidence during your formative years. Perhaps you received little love and encouragement. Possibly you might remember the constant fights that took place in your home and how they shred your family apart. Sometimes blaming yourself that you may be the reason why your parents are no longer together. Even bigger, having to live with the fact that your own parents neglected you or they were abusing you physically or verbally.

Life will always be unfair as most of you take it.  All in that it does not mean that we should lose respect because you do not know what respect it. Yes you may grew up hectic but giving respect to your elders regardless of what they did to you is the best you can do. Revenger has never been sweet as they say. Respect gives you the light, gives you the way, and opens up for you every door that you would like to enter. It shows you life, a better life. So keep it and use it everywhere you go.

Be the change that you want to see in others.  Love and respect others. Be you.

 

 

I CANT GET ENOUGH OF YOU

I CANT GET ENOUGH OF YOU

By Rebecca Masina

Thursday, January 7, 2016

A new year it is. People make resolutions for every year but only they know if they do stick to them or not. Well I for one am not a fan of making resolutions. Reasons being that I never follow them or try to.  This year I pray it be a good year for me as last year I cannot say it was a good year for me. Life happened and life goes on. We thank God for another day as is indeed a blessing.

Have you ever thought of how some other things can make you feel like it is only a dream and you will soon wake up from it? Well yeah I got that and guess what it is not a dream at all it is reality. God blessed me. I might not have a lot and I might not have a name to anything but hey, I am a happy women and each and every day I thank God for it.

He brought a special gift to me. A lot has taken place but now I know my worth. You know when you are treated like the women you are, and then you know you are doing something right to the right person. Past months I’ve learnt a lot about respect, love, loyalty and communication. I got one and hey each and every minute I get a smile on my face.

Gosh I RIRI am in love.
