REVELATION IS BETTER THAN EXPECTATION 

Many of us live their lives filled with fear, Fear of moving forward to the unknown. Moving towards something you don't know can be scary, it's unknown, it's unclear and you are just letting faith move you. It's been said that "Revelation is greater than Expectation". Being open to something new that excites you. Allowing yourself to trust and believe in the power of Faith and Destiny. The future can sometimes seem blury but if you move forward towards the light,greater is what awaits on the other side if you trust and believe.

The unknown is cold, it's dark, it's a painting of a thousand pieces of art in one,none clear or distinct but there's a picture waiting to be seen and understood in the midst of all the chaos. In life I believe there are two choices, the choice of allowing Faith to move you and knowing even if you fail or fall you can always get up and keep moving or the choice of allowing Fear to move you and be stuck and held back from anything that you want or desire.

The sad reality about Fear is that you are in constant conflict with yourself and always thinking of what could have been had I moved forward and freed myself,but time is of the essence for all of us and it moves and waits for no one,so it is important to value each and every second and move while it still allows you to.

BLACK CULTURE 

It's been said that through the years black culture has changed or as the cool kids put it "modernised" but who has it been modernised for? The youth of today or solely to fit western ways or society?.

My name is Asisipho Ndyamboti and this is my point of view. As years go by and our elders leave us we loose our main source of information and we forget our values that were instilled in us as kids and move with the wave of modernised black culture. It's a hint of both worlds  black individualism mixed with western approved ways of life. "We are left in a sort of no man's land, because we don't often see ourselves reflected in mainstream culture, nor in popular "

Black culture may have been born in black communities, or created by black  people. But when appropriated for commerce, there is a danger of mistaking "Black Culture" for actual cultural EXPERIENCE. That's where the myth begins, and it can devalue real human experiences. The black experience can sometimes be so concretely defined in the mainstream that it feels suffocating. The reality of being black is much more nuanced and fluid. Being black involves a process of moving through and adopting from many different cultures. To define what's authentically black is virtually impossible, as there are as many ways to be black as there are black people.

And that is really the genesis of any culture: Ultimately, it's created by individuals and communities with the courage to do something different and unexpected.

Like being themselves.

MOMENT IN TIME AS ME

Remember me as the one who started it all and Remember me as the one who stayed committed to it all.

I often think about how i would like to be remembered. And there are plenty of things that I would love to leave behind as memories told to generations to come about who i was, but there is one I never want to be remembered by and that's a Quiter who always started something but never followed through with it.

We often give up too easily in life because of circumstances or situations and that shouldn't be the case , we should always allow setbacks to motivate us for epic comebacks that you can look back at and be like "Oh how grateful am I about that today because it allowed me to grow and accomplish more". I sometimes suffer from writers block because  of  where I am right now, I've focused more on situations that I'm facing now instead of allowing that to serve as motivation. I'm soo stuck in this downfall/setback that I'm currently in because I have somewhat surcomed to the idea of believing that no one wants to hear about pain and instead happiness , no one wants to read about how miserable your life is instead read of what's great and good about it. But what if there is someone out there who's in the same pigeonhole and needs uplifting like you know what I'm not alone.

J.cole once said "There's beauty in the struggle" he sure was right , success will come and you'll be able to be more appreciative of it because you know how bad it could be. Hang in there life is meant to have ups and downs, good and bad,setbacks and comebacks, blessings and lessons, and be grateful for all of it.  Get up and do something that will make a difference in somebody else's life, be the change you want to see. Nobody owes you anything in this life you need to get up and do it yourself. 

LIFE AS ME

LIFE AS I'VESEEN IT

Hello world, Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Asisipho Ndyamboti and i started this blog 3 years ago with the intention of inspiring the world but life as we know it happened. At the time of starting this i was excited and full of life,I had imagined everything being blissful and achieving all the goals that i had set for myself but challenges began to unfold.

I dreamt of taking over the world as a renowned media mogul like the well known mama Connie Ferguson ,mama Basetsana Khumalo all the way to Oprah Winfrey. But it just didn't happen , Like the old saying goes life's a bitch and every dog has its day.

At the age of 13 i was diagnosed with Chrohn's disease,i was operated on and life was good i carried on with school. At 23 I had a flare up and this time the disease came back really badly plus to top it all off i discovered that I was pregnant .

The was nothing that doctors could do because I had this little innocent child growing inside of me and I had to take the risk of taking chronic medication in hopes that it wouldn't harm the little one. In pain and constantly in and out of hospital as my condition got worse as baby grew each month inside of me I managed to conquer that and deliver my beautiful daughter Talitha (biblical name used to revive a little girls life "talitha cumi"jesus said and the little girl arose  ) .
But even after the birth of my child i was still ill.

Now 24 with a child, unemployed and still very sick i landed up in hospital  for 5 months straight with a couple of procedures and one big surgery. I missed a lot of first moments in my daughter life as you would imagine, but i kept fighting for my health in which i still am.

So to sum it up to you all its been a whirlwind 3 years but I'm still standing and in this for the long run.Life will pin you to the wall but always stay strong and firm and know that challenges are there to build you and make you strong,they are there to prepare you for all the blessings that are still to come in this thing called life,someone once told me that in order to know and understand your limits you need to be pushed to the very edge so that you know  what you are able to take and cannot take,we weren't made to break but to understand that we are stronger than we think we are.

Keep pushing and keep fighting. You can do it, you were made for this you will and cannot break.
