Let's Just Get That Clear

Let's Just Get That Clear.

I have popped some popcorn for all of you because today's MPV might be quite entertaining.Pulpits are not only found in church,but the world is a pulpit.Wherever there is a platform or forum to speak and there is an audience,that is a pulpit.

And my God,there are some people who are preaching some 'interesting' gospels on their pulpits.How can one host a show about love,yet they are so cynical about it?A friend of mine commented that the Grinch who stole Christmas is much better,this individual is really mad,(bitter to be precise.)And all I could visualise was Stinkmeaner talking on the radio,(poor listeners.)

Yes,everybody has loved and lost,been hurt,but the whole purpose of life is love.The foundation of the earth is based on love,because the Creator of the Universe is love.Since we are entering the Easter Holiday,I pray for this individual to find the message of hope and love,(they need Jesus and to be soaked in His blood,to remove all that scepticism.)Because the reason why Easter is a public holiday,and some of y'all go off work,is because of a sacrificial,what's the word?Oh yes,LOVE,that God had for humankind,and allowing His only,'sinless',Son to die for mere,'wicked',mortals.That is the greatest love story ever told,(for over 2000 years).

I do agree that love should not be idealised by fairytales and movies,but there should be a realistic approach,however people should never give up on finding love,loving and being loved.It is also a part of the equation of happiness.

Everybody deserves a second chance,and more chances.It is called FORGIVENESS.If an individual ,or two people still want to give their relationship another try,they should.Life is too short not to try.Do not preach a '3 strikes you are out' gospel to people(I know a very good therapist,or counselor,or Rabbi,or better yet,exorcist who can help deal with all that negativity.)

Okay so,happiness.The pursuit of happiness.A good gospel,if you buy into it,and for as long as that happiness does not involve selfishness.But what is happiness?It is a feeling of satisfaction or elation due to positivity in one's life.And what makes people happy?I made an equation for happiness.Happiness=Money+Power/Fame+Success+Sex+Love/Relationship+Entertainment/Leisure+Good health+Being Attractive+Friends+Offspring+Possesions.So basically happiness depends on external influences.You still want to pursue happiness?Imagine a starving child in Sub-Saharan Africa,a woman being raped in war-torn central Africa,people who watched the events of 911 unfold,and lost loved ones in the process,or mothers having deformed babies born in nucleated Hiroshima.Are you going to tell them,be happy!Pursue happiness!*raised eyebrow*

It is good to be happy,everyone should be happy everyday,but what if all the elements that make up happiness are non-existant,or are taken away,does that mean one has stopped living?Being a person of faith,I believe that people should have,(no need to pursue),joy.The King James version of the Bible has no mention of 'happiness',but the word 'joy',which appears more than 300 times,including the word 'rejoice'.

Joy has the same meaning as happiness however,it is not influenced by external factors.Joy is the 'it's okay' motto of life,no matter what life throws at us.'It's okay' that I'm broke;my child died;I've got cancer;there is war in my homeland;I'm single;I'm not goodlooking;I'm disabled,it's okay.Joy says,it is difficult,but I have hope.It might not be today,or tomorrow,but it is well.It gives certain levels of contentment.

On a balance scale,joy outweighs happiness.But a philosopher will always be a philosopher.The pursuit of happiness-philosophy.But this whole discussion goes back to one's fear of being 'vulnerable'.Only the brave truly live,because cowards are afraid of trying,that is why they are philosophical.

There is a law of attraction,you attract the energies you give out.So if you are a Scrooge,well.*shaking my head*

The people who really have joy are the people who live outside themselves.Historically,Joan of Arc,Mahatma Gandhi,Martin Luther King Jnr.,Nelson Mandela,Mother Theresa and of course,Jesus Christ.They all lived for causes that affected 'their' people,for the 'love' of the people,(other people).Life is not a me-factor.

Anyway,at the end of the day,I guess an individual is entitled to their own opinion.What one discusses on their pulpit,reveals their argu-mentality,(one's thoughts).I use my pulpit,my MPV to preach,teach and share the gospel of self-examination which leads to reformation,I encourage empowerment and always inspire hope.

Now you can put the popcorn away.I am not attacking anyone,this is just my point of view.*smile*

Eldom:Use your pulpit as an opportunity to fight for a cause and use it wisely.

'Live to inspire and let God take you higher'.

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

Single ladies: Wife material

MPV.....my point of view! Single Ladies: Wifen Material *Royal wave*Hey single ladies,your guide is back.The pursuit for Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It is on.Today I would like to make you a get-a-ring-on-it lady. Now following my articles,'Single Ladies Part 3',where I talked about the prince searching for a 'real princess',or 'Queen';and 'Brown Sugar',where the word 'brown sugar' was defined as wifen material,I would like to talk about 'wifey material'.(Whether we are that). How do we single ladies get that ring-on-it,you ask?By being wifey material.My uncle keeps on telling me,'If you want to become Mrs X,you should be a wife.You are a wife before he puts a ring on it'.What he means is that,a man will treat you the way you portray yourself.How,you ask? Ever noticed the difference between a wife and a girlfriend.Now let me break it down for you.A girlfriend usually,takes life in a more leisurely way;unlike a wife,whose focus is mo...

Riding Solo, Cliques and Friendship

Friends are mirrors, shadows, at times visions, and sometimes ghosts. - The Real Lady E Let's talk about #squadgoals! I have to confess, I'm actually on season six of 'Pretty Little Liars'. 🙈 My grown self should be ashamed! But it inspired me to get to today's blog. I read a post from xoNecole about friendships. Titled, 'Types of Friends You Should Have In Your 30s', I reverted to my article about being in your 30s. In the blog I shared, " Friendships are like a Coca-Cola bottle, as you grow older you know that you will eventually be at the tip." Friendships are like a Coca-Cola bottle, as you grow older you know that you will eventually be at the tip. Watching season six of PLL, we find the 'girls' falling back into bad habits. I still can't fathom their loyalty to Alison DiLaurentis. They feel like they owe her yet it's her crazy relative who terrorised them all through high school. For young women who are supposed t...

Like A Love Song

The best ever written love song isn't perfect but it works! 'I,I love you like a love song baby,I,I love you like a love song,babe.....',young Selena Gomez singing,and vocalising what we would all take love as...a LOVE song. The love song. Women can only dream about being loved the way Gerald Levert put it,'made to love you', or have 'this love' a la Donell Jones. And I'm not talking about the exaggerated 'catching of grenades','crossing oceans',drinking of lovers' bath waters.But a love that leaves one gasping for air as they try to breathe in,a love that gives one warm fuzzy feelings inside.A love that also stands the test of time,and conquers all. But is the impression we are given by love songs similar to real relationships?Would a man not want to be 'mad' like Ne-yo, or beg you to 'stay' like Tyrese? Some may agree,whilst others would be at the other end of the pole. In the mean time men might find Beyonc...

Just Another Monday!

 Looking at my nails and how I’ve made a meal out of them… I need a break! The past three weeks have been extremely exhausting to say the least. I decided to come to this platform to somewhat, somehow distress. Writing is often cathartic even to an absent audience. I’m just tired! Sections of my skin are eczematous and I even suffered a breakdown last week. God, I wish it were hormones but it’s just being overwhelmed.  I am tired – physically, financially, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I have nothing to give. That empty jar that cannot pour out anymore. I’m sometimes emotionally numb…. I just want to sleep and never wake up. I keep absorbing the negativity from my timeline on social media. Unfortunately, it’s my job to be online. With my skills I have to work triple in curating and creating content. In short, I’m online all the time. But it’s depressing me. You know how baby boomers describe millennials…I’m that millennial! And with that said it makes it even more dif...

The Muse

He is my muse... ... and in the myriad of things, I once was his. Today can I be philosophical and slightly deep? Hello single ladies, Beyoncé wave! How have we been? I am decent. Honestly, there's a lot on my plate but somewhere, somehow I've got to suck it up. Come round with your wine glasses. Don't worry, I'm not in my feelings. Summarizing the week's new music releases, I went through John Legend's 'Wild' music video. As we know. John's wife Crissy is pregnant again. Boy has corona caused a baby boom! Every week there are pregnancy announcements on the timeline. Some of us, are feeling some type of way...baby fever, right? Well, not me, but the baby-making process, hell yeah! Wink! I digress, low key, I have been envious of John and Crissy's relationship. The man literally writes songs about and for his wife. I remember my uncle's wedding (let's remember, the only uncle whom I speak of endlessly). He and his wife danced to Mario...
