Principles There are laws and Principles of life that govern how we should live and relate with each other. They govern things like action and consequence. We may dislike and disagree with them, but that won't change their applicability to life. You can dislike and disagree with gravity but it won't stop doing what it is supposed to do because of your dislike. Frankly, your feelings don't matter to the laws and Principles of life. One of those Principles and laws of life is that I will always need you, and you will always need me. We will always need each other. We may not always like, agree with or tolerate each other, but that will never take away our need for each other. We can either accept this fact or deny it for as long as we want to, it won't change. My name is Coach Zibu. Welcome to the coaching journey towards your greatness.

Tit For Tat Nothing feels greater than the satisfaction you get when you give someone a taste of their medicine and watch how they react. That feeling you get knowing you have dealt with them the way they have dealt with you. It is fair when you give someone what they gave you, treat them the way they have treated you. Deny them much-needed help at their most desperate time. But what good has tit-for-tat achieved? What does it benefit anyone when you do that? How many lives have been destroyed by vengeance? And how many people have you won over through grace and mercy? Your body loves it when you do good and it rewards you for it. Try it and see.
Legacy Word by word. Sentence by sentence. Action upon action. Precept upon precept. Day by day you are building a legacy. Whether you are wasting away your talent, or misusing your skills, you are building a legacy. Whether you dwell in bitterness, regret, or hatred, that will be your legacy. Whether you are "living your life for yourself", you are building a legacy. Some will leave a footprint in this world and others will leave as though they have never existed, with no memory, no trace of them fulfilling their life mandate. Choose today what legacy you will leave behind.
Learn to be kind to people because everyone is going through something, and your kindness may be what someone else needs. If you think you know it all, your ego has become too big, be intentionally humble. No one owes you an explanation or favours, even if it is promised to you, learn to live and forgive without either. You have knives on your back and you will walk around with wounds throughout your life, but that does not mean your knife should be on someone's back. Don't live life expecting it to be easy, no one is promised a pain-free and easy life, some people are good at hiding their challenges. Learn from everyone, big and small.
Are you using silence as an escape from what calls you to face and resolve? Listen to this!

How often have we followed what we thought was the est idea, the best decision despite sound counsel against it?
If your experience of an earthly father has been dismal, here is a reflection on the model Father upon whom all fathers can model their fatherhood.
Are we ever blindly led astray or willing participants in our deception? Do we not see the red flags littered along the path to destruction or do we choose to associate with our corruptors? Do we lose agency during the period of deception and regain it once the deception of others and self is concluded? It is easy to absolve ourselves of accountability by claiming victimhood in deception rather than taking the difficult path of responsibility. Are we led astray blindly or chosen to be willing participants?

There are too many things around us that are attractive. Oftentimes we see those things around us and without any contemplation, we envy them. In our envious state, we do not consider the circumstances under which those things were obtained and we simply pursue one's glory while ignoring their story and it is in their story where we would discover the truth of how those were acquired. Oftentimes, all that glitters is not gold.

Morning Thought 💭 Coronation
For as long as we refuse to go through the process of refinement we will remain subjects in our lives. For as long as we refuse to heed to good counsel, we will always make unwise decisions. For as long as our pride remains what we wear as a defense mechanism from everything, we will never adorn the crown. Crowns are for heads that have been tested. Crowns are for ears that are open and the Coronation will never take place on a head that wears pride for a crown.

We can go at it alone or we can surround ourselves with counsellors. In choosing our counsellors, we must be mindful of their intentions otherwise we will take counsel that will lead us astray. The first good counsellors in our lives should be our parents, however, do we all have the blessing of parents who pour into us? For those who do not receive good counsel from birth parents, there remains a plethora of wise parental counselling out there. It is up to the individual to choose wisely.
