Living below my potential

Living below my potential

September 10, 2018September 10, 2018admin

Ever wake up and feel like the alarm stole your joy? No reason to wake up in the morning? This is my version of my true story. See, the thing is you get to a point where you ask yourself, is this the life I see myself living for the rest of my life? It is one thing to fool everyone to think you are living your best life, it is another to convince your heart that. A lot of us learn to live in our mediocre lives, because we feel like there is nothing we can do about it. I had reached the level of depression where I knew… Read More

Poetry: Phenyo Mabokela

Written: 21 May 2018 By: Mabokela Phenyo My heart needs you desperately, My soul seeks you endlessly, Yet my body refuses to drop to its knees. Spirit lifted, Joy driven, Tears wiped away by your hand on me.

Following your dreams is not an easy thing to do. Yeah yeah, we all know about the importance of patience, until we are actually in the moment.… Read More
