Hello friends,
How are you doing? Brrr, it’s cold, brrr… I believe this is colder than the UK, dry cold, brrr… brr..i…tt…er… cold I’m currently tucked in a blanket writing this article. Brrr… what can’t kill you makes you stronger… Brr.. br… brrr… brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…. I can’t take it anymore :D. There’s more to life than just being really really good looking, even if you’re the chosen one. Okay, I’m not high on cocoa, trust me, I just realised I’m writing an article and not a movie script for Zoolander 3.
But is that you right now? Do you remember feeling that way ever in your life? I’m sure you do; I remember some of my greatest challenges and the moments I’ve conquered them, especially when things were really tough. So, we can all admit that these times are one of the toughest times the world has ever seen or had to go through. My parents who I would consider vulnerable are asking me when they could go out, of course, my response was as follows, “It’s better to stay in until this thing is over, make sure you get your health tip-top because when change comes, you’re going to say, when can I get some rest? I’m having too much fun.” It is good to know and see how much they’re growing and learning over this last year. On our table talks, I share with them as much as I possibly can, and they share as much as they possibly can with me.
The times that I find most challenging are usually during economic crises. It’s been over one year that I’ve been having these table talks with whoever ends up on the table the same time as me. Now over a year, it’s nice to see how the time invested is paying off for itself. Wouldn’t you like to be supported and understood? Haven’t you found at some moment in your life that you’re talking to a wall that can’t respond productively? Basically, once upon a time, I simply had to rely on myself one hundred and ten percent on some really important issues as I’ve been away for so long. I finally got it, that if you do not help people, let them in on how you see the world through your experiences, how can you expect a productive response. Raising the vibration = raising the investment, meaning taking time out and making an effort. – T.

You and all of us here know life is no straight road, cliché but it’s the truth. In yesterday’s article, I talk about how people are feeling currently. With the challenges of the Coronavirus, there are all sorts of disorders in society like domestic violence, suicidal thoughts, people going through with suicide as well, depression, desperation, feeling claustrophobic, loss of oneness with friends and family members, and a massive part of the world’s population is feeling lost after losing their jobs or having their hours cut down. The world is having a massive wake-up call, and the death of George Floyd where one negative action led to another negative action showed us what is greater than Coronavirus, what is still in the shadows during all our existence; man opposing man in the face of colour. The division has been brought to our faces from a dim time to a grim phase. There are locusts invading places and eating crops, and possibly minute insects could damage buildings and cars in the UK, but man has still not fallen to their knees.
There is but one thing you can keep doing forever that costs time but not one cent and that is strengthening the mind, body and spirit. – T. Dench Patel, 17 June 2020, 16:45 There is no such thing as having enough knowledge and then to stop learning. There is no saying what’s going to come your way or the way something can turn from one moment to the next, there is no saying what will happen and if it is something you would and could be prepared for but those who have a very concrete sense of self-belief and faith know that the part where freewill comes in, is to keep learning so that you know better to do better. If you haven’t read this quote before this one’s for you, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” – Maya Angelou
Going aimlessly through life without having values, morals, ingrained success habits, encompassed with practices and positive actions that help you stay the course so that you’re not swayed excessively from negative and positive streaming events through emotions will help ease the way you sail through life, anything to stop a capsize, a wreck, or from you jumping overboard is worth the practise, it’s worth you saving many other lives along with yours, along the entire journey ahead. – T.

I mean you’re seeing it day in and day out, people who go into things that begin with fun, no intention of getting hooked on it and then the feel-good feeling in a couple of hours have become the thing they live for. Sometimes these people are saved and at other times they have drowned into its force over time were resilience and tolerance have slowly been eroded. If only the focus went on strengthening it. Again, it takes getting back the focus to break off it, and how so? Through gradual self-development.
This doesn’t only go for people who have gotten hooked on substances, you could be an adrenaline junkie, a travel junkie, leaving jobs that are good for your growth junkie or a person who has crossed the line so far down that you find it hard to come back to yourself, perhaps you’ve become a liability to yourself; you’ve now got a criminal record. There are many ways to get lost, many ways to make your way down a mountain, but there’s only one way to get on top and that’s the hard way, no route ends up being easier than the other, there are still obstacles. – T.

Gradually working your way every single day, a little on this and that and keep growing at that as the days go by, challenging how much more you can go builds the strongest parts of your compass, now that is an investment you can guarantee on, take a risk on, knowing fully and trusting fully that you know how to come back, knowing your limits and each time you do leave your comfort zone, you come back, and you come back even stronger. – T. Dench Patel, 17 June 2020, 17:20
You know, it no longer cuts it to move on knowing you stepped out of line, it’s really is about you getting yourself back inline especially if you know that or have been told that by the panel of people you trust. It remains to be that no matter how many people can point out your mistake it is one hundred percent yours to rectify. It is one hundred percent you that can claim back your life. – T.
