Nelson Mandela lived behind bars 27 years, to break boundaries for us!
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” — Nelson Mandela
“Yes, of course we are sad. But it’s like when your grandfather passes away, we celebrate their life work and we smile and we dance. We do this for him even more,” Celina Makoba told me as she clapped her hands to the traditional music that has transformed the street in front of Mandela’s home into a festival.”-people of Johannesburg

“Why would he do it?”
“Did I deserve it?”
“Can it really change?”
“Maybe, I should stop bothering him?”
“I am stressing him out, I should have let him talk.”

After spending the night with a friend at the age of 14 and watching her dad beat up her mom, throw her in an ant bed, kick her in the face, bloody her nose, threaten to kill himself If we called the cops, I have NO TOLERANCE! She kept apologizing to me, and she was the victim!

I retain hope for all mankind and feel uncomfortable with a bias picture of reality. Living with envy and hatred is not living, you deserve more.
It will take time but you will see the picture

You have to live your life without negativity.Sometimes it can come out of the mouth of a friend a family member. You must remember that if you invite negativity in your life,it will only grow.If that is your mistake you will alienate love,and life.People lead by example.You have so many opportunities in this world.You can’t sit around and cry and moan if you don’t take them. It is a daily task to meditate, live and laugh.Once you invite light in your life,you become a better person.
A voice of negativity may be the reason you stay in an unfaithful relationship. Some people hate coming home.They can’t stand the weekend,because they know their loved one may or may not come home at night.People will only do, what you let them do. You are in a negative situation.You don’t have to be in that situation. You chose to accept negativity in your life.
You have to stay positive. I believe that excessive negative situations make you a weak and mindless person.You are missing your blessings. I have girlfriends that WANT to be married, but their man can make it to the club,but not to the Courthouse.They will stay in the situations for years. That means the man has control of a relationship. So many people will stay around negativity their entire life.
Stop letting people run over you and not give you respect.Children watch as their moms have a different man in their house every other week.Some parents will smoke weed and curse in front of their kids. You have corrupted that child’s mind. So many negative ideas are already being sent to the next generation.
If someone greets you with a frown of an uncomfortable situation,end it.You can’t complicate your life and let other people decide your well being.When I started messymandella.com I never told anyone. I knew that negative people would ask me why? I am a blessed person.I work all the time.I do charity work for my town.I also find time to raise money for kids or adults,in need. I have participated in fundraisers for AIDS and HIV patients and visit them.I am not rich in money,just blessings. I enjoy what I do. I show love to everyone,to avoid negativity.That is why I don’t let people take joy from me. You better not either!
