The pursuit of love

In Tanzania there are 2 Swanglish sayings which can summarize the quote for today, Usipende kufosi mambo and Mpende akupendaye asiyekupenda achana naye. The first quote means don't develop a liking for forcing things to happen and the second one means Love the one who loves you and forget the one who doesn't. Both of these quotes tie back to love and the act of letting go. In the journey of love there are times of uncertainty, sometimes you have to step back and wait for the future to unfold. If you all are meant to be in whatever way that means to you....you all will be together. Of course, don't force love or the one you love to do that they do not desire to.

Self control and you

 

Have you ever tried controlling an adult? It is useless. Children are the ones who need such control, instruction, or guidance. But when you and others grow older, you just have to let it be. You have to let it be, and to not forget that the easiest way to stay sane, in the midst of whichever chaos is to control yourself. Don't waste your time trying to control external factors. Instead, take the time to know "you" in depth, so you can control your reactions to the ups and downs of life.
