Stay true to yourself

This is month end – the end of the first month of the year. The year will end in no time – ‘cause time flies in this age of the millennium. How far are you with your plans? This is time to attack; to put plans into practice; to practice perennially and not get weary. They say: practice makes perfect. And that the more one practice – the more one gets lucky.

I recently met an Afrikaner man who told me that if one puts a hook in the sea; one might not catch a fish, but there is always a probability for a catch. If one does not put a hook in the sea, then one will never catch a fish at all. Stay focused and never gets weary. Life is full of disappointments but there is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Be true to yourself and try to be honest wherever you go. The human of integrity never fails. Hold on to your values and good manners. Never allow the vicissitudes of the modern day world to thwart you on your long term goals and taint your true image. Never rebel on your true sense of self. Be patient. Everything will fall into place in time.

You are unique; you are talented; you are gifted; you are blessed; you are skilful, plentifully. There is no one who can take that away from you. You are destined for something; you have a role to play; you were meant to contribute meaningfully in changing our world for the betterment of everyone and everything in it.

I am signing off with the lyrics of the song ‘Naninina’ by Vusi Nova. I choose to sign off with these lyrics with the purpose of inspiring you - the Amalahle Ashushu blog reader to stay true to yourself.

Naninina

By: Vusi Nova

Ndikhumbula amaxesh' akudala
Usekhona emhlabeni wena
Ndikhumbul' iimfundiso zakho
Ndicel' ukubonga mama

Kalok' utata wasishiya kudala
Ibiyintando yakho bawo
Umama wazama ngakho konke emandleni
Lade lafik' elakh' ixesha

Bawo, ndyakucela ndingadanis' abazali bam
Nanini na, Bawo
Ndiyakucela nkosi yam, ndingadanis' abazali bam
Nanini na Bawo

[Chorus]
Ndiyakucela nkosi yam
Ndingadanis' abazali bam
Nanini na Bawo

Bawo ndiyacela kuwe
Oh Qamata, ndicel' undiph' amndla
Ndibe ngumntu wabantu nkosi yam
Njengoba ndafundisw' ekhaya
Ndyabulela bazali bam

Konk' endikwenzayo
Imizamo yam yokubonis' abantu iintliziyo zenu
Hayi andisakwazi ukuzibamba iinyembezi
Uthi mandenze njani, Bawo

[Chorus]
Ndiyakucela nkosi yam
Ndingadanis' abazali bam
Nanini na Bawo

Mama nawe tata, ndicela ningaxhali ngam
Kalok yen' uMaRhadebe uyenzil' indima yakhe
Lalani ngoxolo, ugqatso nilufezile
Umsebenzi wenu niwugqibile apha emhlbeni

Bawo, ndyakucela ndingadanis' abazali bam
Nanini na, Bawo
Ndiyakucela nkosi yam, ndingadanis' abazali bam
Nanini na Bawo

Nanini na Bawo
