Script My Life: Bruce Almighty

Because we are the creations of the Creators, the port is within us!

*making a crucifix sign*'Dear God.Please cut me some slack. I really need a breakthrough...' *watching out for a lightning bolt*. I will try by all means not to blaspheme.

'I've got the power....'. Power! Something human beings thrive to have. There is power in power. Power is control, influence and to some extent success. And after watching 'Bruce Almighty' over the weekend, I realised that power is powerful.

So in the movie,Jim Carey's character, Bruce, is given 'power' by 'God', (Morgan Freeman). After having things not go his way,this newfound 'power', gave him access to make his life the way he wants it.

How many of us have got real power? How many times have we wished we could really have control over our lives? To possess that power that gives us the 'perfect' life.

The power to live forever. The power to prevent bad things from happening.The power to be the 'perfect 10'. The power to have everything. IDEALISTIC.

Yes,I also desire for that 'power'. I really do need to have control of things in my life.The only control I have is my mind and my actions.Otherwise,I have found myself weak,without any influence,or control of other people's decisions over my life,(e.g jobs,getting paid,opportunities,love,etc)

What if I had divine 'power'.On the other hand, maybe not.In the movie, Bruce,(Jim Carey), realises that being 'God',is not so easy. He kept on hearing many voices in his head of people praying.Imagine if mankind had the 'Godkind' of power? To a certain extent maybe everyone would be happy. But then, maybe the human race would have been wiped out. I know if I got angry or wanted revenge, I would probably throw brimstones of fire at those who have wronged me. Imagine the amount of manipulation people would place on other people.

Nah. Only God should have that kind of power. He definitely knows how to use it,and when to use it. *sigh* I guess all one has to do is hope and pray,that things go their way. The only power we hold, is the power of 'faith'.

Power is a state of mind. Faith begins in the mind, then it is a vision, then it is spoken, and in speaking, faith is affirmed in the mind. Faith=Power.

'Who knows what miracles you can achieve,when you believe...'- When you believe, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

There is only one God Almighty....

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...

5 Inexpensive Dates in a Bad Economy

If he's making the economy an excuse, swipe left.... A guy who makes too many excuses whilst pursuing you is not worth your time. He will make excuses for not making time for you. More so, for not taking you on a date. A real man makes a plan...all the time! Yes, the economy is atrocious...a complete nightmare! Does that mean that humanity stops? Y'all, we have procreation to continue until the end of time. A season of a recession, shouldn't hinder dates, relationships and the whole nine yards that come with that package. Couples over centuries overcame obstacles such as family feuds, classism, racism, tribalism, religious differences etc. They all found a way around those challenges. Any guy who uses 'in this economy' as an excuse is dropped like a pin. Honestly, such an individual lacks ambition and creativity. I want the flowers, chocolate, and the date. Otherwise...skrrr! You will have to show innovation in your pursuit. If you can't be strategic w...

The Slow Burn

Stop trying to control everything and start experiencing the slow burn. Hello, single ladies! Comment ça va mes amies? "Je suis bien! Gather around; today we are having coffee and tea. I'll get my dose of caffeine as usual. I'm so inspired by the previous article. The inspiration came from the last few paragraphs, where I wrote about the slow burn. I remember the movie, "I Want You Back." The character Emma tells Peter that he's attractive, and she would date him, despite the fact that he is a slow burner. And then Kacey Musgraves' "Slow Burn" starts playing in my head. ("I'm alright with a slow burn"). As I decided to rewrite the scripts for my "love story," the last part challenged me. Do you remember what Kat Valdez said in "Marry Me"? If you want something different, you have to do something different. So, you make a different decision. I thought long and hard about that statement. I believe that I'm ...

Pendulum...Time to Stop Swinging!

At that very moment you actually receive that closure that it's finally over... You lay there, with a sigh of relief because it was good whilst it lasted, but you are glad that it's over. There are certain things that you begin to intuitively feel and understand as you grow older or wiser. You move out of naivety or ideologies of the perfect relationship. You get to a place of realising that some relationships have good parts but don't last. And there are other bad relationships where the only thing that holds you together, is what's in between the sheets. During a conversation with a friend, I asked him for his opinion about a relationship. His view of my 'situation' was that I was like a pendulum. It was a constant back and forth with this guy which in psychology is considered 'toxic'. My friend gave me advice athat I need to respect myself enough to demand stability from a relationship. The guy who comes into my life must anchor himself and...

When The Door Shuts But There's No Closure

Let this be the last time that I am stupid in love! To quote Bob Marley, 'The biggest coward of a man, is to awaken the love of a woman without the intention of loving her.' No intentions are still intentions and usually cruel intentions. I'm a bitter woman. I'm mad as hell. How did I let that ugly mother****er make me look stupid? Little did I know that I was just setting myself up to feeling dumb and dumber. I'm a clown! So I took the step and reached out to him to get closure. I needed to gather my thoughts and emotions so that I could speak to him calmly. Parce que IRL, I'm on that Lemonade Beyoncé woman scorned level. The initial call that I made, he blew me off. So I took defeat. However, he called back an hour later and the conversation came. My biggest question was 'Why?'. Why pursue me when you already had someone else whom you wanted to give what I myself wanted. Marriage! What was your intention and outcome from all this? I reiterate that I...
