When you take a bite of an mango that’s not ripe, perhaps even bitter, the problem isn’t with the a mango; the problem is we didn’t wait for the tree to get to the place where the mango is ripe. It’s our timing that is the problem, not the mango itself, nor the tree.

There is a parallel with life when things do not go well there is little to get upset with ourselves. It often means that our lives are a process and perhaps the timing was not right!

Indeed we may be the mango which is not yet ripe. We need to exercise patience and have faith. When the time is right … it shall be well!

We all fall at various stages in our lives.  It doesn’t mean we’re failures, or doomed. Progress is’nt linear, but spiral.

The key is not to give up but to rise again and again and appreciate that challenges come in waves. Our strengths lie in how we manage the troughs which we ALL enter at some stage in our lives!

Keep the faith and always move with the positivity of the light!

A dead fish can float downstream but only a live fish can swim upstream.

Remember that positivity begets positivity and light begets light.

Make your choices wisely!

EXCERPTS FROM A CONVERSATION ….

Kwabena Osafo-kantanka:

Could it even get more emotional and blessed in a mixed morning of sobriety, stock-taking, and a befitting national un-partisan mourn for a statesman par excellence with a much less desired political stint! An illustrious son of a nation endangered with species of his kind! A politician in my most candid and sincerest estimation, with every respect under the sun for his service and accomplishments for our nation, that lived below par! Anyway, on this virtual platform too, I have come to benefit and appreciate the invaluable and indispensable nature, the worth and value of friendship, however virtual! Cos reading most of your post, I jot the motivation down, I aspire to reflect in my transient life the inspiration from those words, and I memorise to recite as my guiding post the bills I read from this platform!! This is not flattery but compliments!

Soo many people seem to lack humility and have misplaced ego’s. Watching Felix Sanchez crying on the podium as he collected his 400 metre hurdles Gold medal brought the entire Olympic stadium awash with applause for his heartfelt emotion!

Humility is another great hearing aid for helping us become open to guidance but sometimes we don’t hear because we have a process to go through. And sometimes it’s the process that creates the humility for us to hear.

That’s why most people need to be broken in order for the messages to enter their awareness.

What does it mean to be broken? Your ego is out of the way.

That’s the point – to show us how to proactively bring ourselves to a place of humility, without needing the universe to do it for us.

When we are able to come to terms with our physical inadequacies and still reach our souls we will have understood what true friendship and love is!

At that point the need and respect remain insatiable to the point of when our dust becomes dust

We can all be the touched by the impact of the Sun, The Wind, Water, Light and Darkness but not all at the same time or indeed in the same place.

Just as the elements all move at different levels and at different paces, so do our individual human energies.

One way of ensuring peace is recognising that we are all different and that we all respond differently to different things at different times.

When we are unsure of the different energies swirling around us we must always look to the light and only the light for guidance!

My great relationships are based on an openness and giving without expecting to receive!

What does it mean to love unconditionally?  It means loving someone just because they are, loving them without regard to what they can do for you, loving their fulfillment without jealousy.

Think of different relationships and make a list.

1. How are you holding back for yourself?

2. Where are you willing to let go?

3. Are you prepared to be open and share?

4. How judgmental/non judgmental are you?
