Mind Over Matter: My Dissertation

This process is a good learning curve about commitment, to yourself, your own thoughts and voice, your sense of discipline and life in general. These are some of the things that this process has taught me;

1. It's always good to think and have ideas but the strength of what you are trying to achieve is better on paper in black and white.

2. It's important to be consistent, granted the body and the mind will tire and start playing tricks with you but consistency of work and thought helps. Not that I have mastered this but I've found in those periods where I have been consistent with myself to be the most freeing.

3. This will be a time of frequent tests, not only your writing ability will be tried but of patience and care. Everything, almost everything in your life will fall apart but having a constant flame nurtured and lit somewhere in your life helps. All I can say is thank the heavens for Kids.

I'm still learning and discovering, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading, researching and the general buzz of ideas. I do take movie breaks, a healthy internet connection is key, I do and have lost my way but I'll get there. The end is near and I'm sure it will be bittersweet.

MAD WITH LIFE

I wrote this a while back and because of the pace at which my life moves,so much has happened since and it is still happening..and now,I'm mad with life both negatively and positively. In this instance, I'll just share the positive vibrations of this life we lead...

Okay,its official, I've gone mad!
I'm beginning to see stars where there are none, maybe its my stress medication,
I'm beginning to fall in love all over again with nothing, no one and everything and everyone at the same time..

Parental stress disorder is an interesting concept,
dealing with my dual citizenship,
dealing with a work environment that is harmful, although has serious consequences for my work ethic, it holds deep and life changing lessons..

And 'Wow'..the beauty that is life,
is present in my endless walks around the city,
my age old clothing that gives me Joy,
my ambitions,
my aspirations...

I'm mad with Love,
mad to Love..
Okay i need to stop now,

But do me a favour,reconcile yourself with your madness,especially if you didn't know it exists in all of us,
Enjoy talking to yourself,
Speak your fears and insecurities aloud,
Its the only way to be comfortable and totally at peace with who you are,
Face it! WE ARE ALL MAD IN OUR OWN WAY...lol..

SmaUniverse,
Its yours.
