Knowledge

Words that matter
Empower with Knowledge

It was Sir Francis Bacon who stated, knowledge is power and with all my heart I believe this phrase. The more knowledgeable someone is the more equip they are to make a decision. I must admit though that even though persons may get this knowledge they may not choose the direction or option you had intended. However, its a decision they have made base on the knowledge or information given.

Now more than ever people are using the voices they have been given and often they lean on facts to support their claims. So gone are the days when they think they are entrapped thus skewing them to one direction, as information is now available at their finger tips.

This era is different and this generation view things differently… Empower us with knowledge. We are reading and applying that which we have read. We are also committing things to memory for later. Feed us with the right things… Empower us with knowledge

Throw it out!

Food from the table of her mind
Get rid of it.

As we approach the Christmas season, my family and I decided to do our major cleaning. I think we scheduled all our major cleaning and so it was pretty much anticipated. However, we always find things that we are afraid to part with, this year was no different, but we had to be decisive

As we sort through bags and boxes we decided to stop. We had decided we were not going to look in another box or bag, instead we were just going to throw them out. Risky right? But it had to be done because we were hoarding things again. Things we had done without for years, but nostalgia wanted us to keep it

Similarly, in life, we tend to habor things that needs to be thrown out or just let go. We keep holding on the past hurt, past love that no longer loves us back and things that have no more value to it. Why? Because we keep reopening those “boxes” and having open them we feel the need to hold onto them. Even, if for years those things never bothered you the moment you stir up old things they come back to life.

I am not saying you should forget your past, I saying that there are some things that you have now outgrown and it needs to go and stay in the past. Stop clinging to that photo, stop clinging to that dress (you are no longer a size two), stop saying “if I knew”. Its time to be progressive and a part of being progressive requires you to releases those baggages that are weighing you down.

Aren’t you tired of the weight? Tired of the hate, the angry, the bitterness, the one sided love? Aren’t tired of starving herself to get back to that size 2? You are a size 10 or whatever and you are fantastic! Throw it out you will be fine.
