The Four P's

The Art of Being Patient, And Never Giving Up


Dreams, goals, and desires… We all have something we want in life; To be successful, to own our own businesses or dream homes, to have the “perfect family”, or to just live. Question is, how do we fulfill the desires of our hearts? I do not have the answer to that, but I do have this to say…

Prayer
You know what you desire to have, talk to God about it (Pray). Tell Him what you really want, and ask for wisdom, knowledge and the necessary resources required to get what you want. Although He may not give you what you want at the very moment that you ask for it, trust that He will give it to you in due time (where there’s a will, there’s a way). Ask somebody you trust for advice, if you do not trust anyone, keep it to yourself, let it be between you and God, and go on with your plan, after all, not everyone wants to see you succeed.

Stay persistent in your plans. You may fail a thousand times, but for every time you fall, pick yourself up, and try going about achieving your goal in a different way, making a special recipe requires one to remove or add an ingredient to get the perfect dish. Try until you succeed. It is not easy getting what you want, but giving up is not an option either. If you get tired, rest, by the time you wake up, you will have recovered the strength to carry on with your task. Focus on one task at a time, trying to tackle two or more tasks at the same time, will only humble you, you will lose track, and pay less attention to your tasks than when you could focus on one task and give it as much attention as you can to get the optimum results. 
Persistence

In life, we all go through ups and downs, it is how we respond to our downfalls that determines our capabilities. Imagine all the plans and ideas you have going on in your head to make you prosper one day, what are you doing to turn them into a reality? Are you just talking about them and not acting on them to have them become a reality? Are you brushing your ideas off onto someone else, and complaining that they stole your idea? Are you helping someone achieve their goals and dreams, while you have your own to achieve?

Perseverance
Wake up dear child, stop stopping yourself from becoming the best you that you can be. Get up, and do the things that will make you succeed, stop existing, and start living the life that you desire to have. Stop depending on other people to make things happen for you. Everyone is looking out for themselves, look out for yourself too.



I use four words to answer the question “how do we fulfill the desires of our hearts?” Prayer, Persistence, Perseverance and Prosperity!  

Those words have helped me in unleashing my potential, I hope they help you too!


Prosperity

    What an interesting share of thoughts and a solution to improve were it was shaky. I mostly keep things to myself due to what transpired in my life before.but however life does not have time to feel sorry for you but it lies within you and your decisions which need to be taken cautiously.

    If I may add,it's best to make mistakes then to fake perfection."with mistakes,you can learn and avoid making the same mistake over and over".that is how you grow and develop as an individual.

      Thank you for that Njabulo. And indeed, mistakes are a learnning curve, they groom you into a wiser person. But don't keep things to yourself, you can help others by sharing your experiences so they know what steps to take when they go through the same things you've gone through.

    Very inspirational I must say. I like how you highlight that failing is not a dead end in life, it's a mere hiccup that slows you down, but then again, life is not a race right?

      You've got that right! But life is not a walk in the park either, one must walk at a pace best fit to get them to their destination safely.

    "If you get tired, rest, by the time you wake up, you will have recovered the strength to carry on with your task"

    Thank you, sometimes we can feel as though we can't stop even though we're tired, like being behind the wheel even though we're tired , recipe for disaster! Thank you D

    Sticking to the plan, and approaching it in a different angle should be part of the vocabulary, never giving up!

Sorry, Not Sorry

Have you ever had to forgive a person who was not sorry? Have you ever had to apologize or say “sorry’ to someone, even when you had not done them any wrong? The word 'sorry'  is an apologetic term used to express feelings of sadness, sympathy, or disappointment, especially because something unpleasant has happened or been done. “Sorry” is such an easy word to throw around, and most people use it unnecessarily, “sorry I did not read your message sooner”, “sorry, can I pass”, “sorry, I need to go to the bathroom”; just to name a few examples. It sometimes does not make sense to use the word, a person can just excuse themselves in some instances, and apologize when they actually need to apologize. The reason why people (especially women) tend to use the word sorry a lot, or apologize more often is because they have a negative state of mind which tells them that they are responsible for everything that goes wrong, or they just find it easier to apologize, j...

A Push In The Right Direction

Many of us stay stuck in the same position, or place rather, in our lives where nothing seems to improve and it seems like all doors have been slammed against our faces. Do we take the opportunity to analyse the situation or moment in time that we find ourselves in when our lives hit a stand still, and look for possible solutions or ways to get out of that situation and grow? Or do we just sit back and wait for a miracle to happen? Like many, some of us are stuck in jobs that we do not want to be in because we cannot find "proper" jobs. Our financial situations seem to be strained because we do not earn enough, or we have certain financial responsibilities to take care of so much that we cannot give ourselves a treat for working hard at the end of every month. There are things we want (i.e. those parts of our homes that we want to fix (renovate), getting our first apartments or buying ourselves brand new cars), or simply take our families out for a simple lunch/dinner, b...

To Slay, Or To Be A Queen

Disclaimer: I am not hating, or throwing shade. I am just an individual voicing out my thoughts and opinions. To anyone that gets offended, I am not sorry for feeling the way I feel, you probably fit the descriptions and your actions probably match those that will be described in the blog post, it’s not my fault that you are the way you are after all. Let’s start by defining the two words… The term slay refers to “killing a person or animal in a violent way”. The world has however, created a new meaning to the word; we now refer to it as “looking good/hot”. The term queen refers to “a female ruler of an independent state”. I believe the word has not lost its meaning, there are independent women who rule their own worlds. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the so-called “slay queens”, who are “young and naïve girls who do not date broke men, and spend hours on social media showing off things they do not even own”, they are in fact, ruled by men. Looking good, and having...
