Form Vs Intent Many students are of the view that they just need to pass their exams with the bare minimum allowed marks. If they pass, they'll get that high school certificate or their university degree. The idea being that a high school certificate will get them into university and that a university degree will get them a job. They miss the point of the exercise. It is not about the result but the process. The trick to learning is to master a subject, not to aim for the bare minimum. So that when entering the job market, you're actually useful and don't have to be retrained from scratch. Also, going for the bare minimum is the genesis of the mediocrity virus that proliferates our world. The less we expect of ourselves, the less we do and the less we expect of others. We don't strive to stand out and make our mark in this world. We strive to fit in so that we are never challenged in any way. The same is true for our lives and our search to connect with our creator. We do the bare minimum. We go to church once a week. We say our five daily prayers. We practice Shabbat every Friday. We do all these things as we're taught. And, we're taught to do them with perfect form. But that's all it is, is form. What's missing is the intention. Doing form to connect with our creator is the bare minimum. The trick is to master this existence and put everything into doing so. The trick is to practice every day for the moment of our death. Every moment gives us that chance. Just going through rituals by rote and doing it under the cover of a mosque, synagogue or church is not going to help 'buy our way into heaven'. The couple of minutes we spend on our rituals won't cut it. The only point of rituals are to focus our attention on the moment so that we are aware of the presence of the creator. So that we can be in awe and gratitude and humility that we have been so blessed. Our true self comes out in the way we relate to the world and the rest of humanity in it. Every moment gives us a chance to be graceful, grateful and use the muscle of the heart to be useful, kind and beautiful to others. Every opportunity to be kind gets us closer to our creator. Don't look to the heavens to find your creator. Look to every human being you touch and you'll see the divine in them. You'll meet the creator. Our intention defines us, not our form. Follow your rituals but most of all be human, be kind, be in awe and be grateful. This is the only chance you and I have of touching the creator.

Be Bold, Better and
Strong
Walk with confidence. Don’t let people
discredit your hunger to achieve. It’s ok if
they view your life as a slow machine, but
tell them that while the machine is loading it
takes time. Keep in mind that it’s time to start
releasing the results. Many people would
not believe it’s that machine producing the
best results, that will be emerging into greener
pastures. Bear in mind that nobody is perfect.
We all learn from our mistakes. If you
managed to pull the string, then you don’t
undermine those who are still trying. Be
yourself, exchange your power of positive
thinking and I promise you will be the best
of the best. When you go through challenges,
don’t try to run and look around for
alternatives. New tranquillity will come your
way. Most great leaders show the way. In
order to be counted amongst the greatest,
be grateful for everything you have. Take
things slowly, surely will promise you
greatness. Many mess-ups in life, especially
when they become famous or either noticed
by the world. It is not by intelligence, it is by
the grace you have that everyone will
understand you’re indeed a hard worker and
focused. If you do proper planning, you
won’t ever go wrong, and you will implement
effectively. Be bold, better and strong. Life
will be easier forever. Don’t judge anyone’s
actions while you are still digging for your
pastures. Try to understand their dynamics
on how you can be better in your own life.
Be bold enough, for life requires people
who know their stories, not cowards.
Cowards mostly run away, fall, and most
of the time they are supposed to face the
world. Make informed decisions. You will
definitely reach your dreams. Don’t be
spoiled too much. I don’t see you
receiving everything on a silver platter, but
don’t forget that time changes people. It’s
better to depend on yourself rather than
to believe and trust someone else. People
may walk away in your life, but trust God,
He shall stand with you all the time no
matter what. Try new tactics or trick to
approach the future. The journey of giants
does not begin easy, but it will end easily
with overwhelming results.
Many students are of the view that they just
need to pass their exams with the bare
minimum allowed marks. If they pass, they’ll
get that high school certificate or their
university degree. The idea being that a high
school certificate will get them into university
and that a university degree will get them a
job. They miss the point of the exercise. It is
not about the result but the process. The trick
to learning is to master a subject, not to aim
for the bare minimum. So that when entering
the job market, you’re actually useful and
don’t have to be retrained from scratch. Also,
going for the bare minimum is the genesis of
the mediocrity virus that proliferates our
world. The less we expect of ourselves, the
less we do and the less we expect of others.
We don’t strive to stand out and make our
mark in this world. We strive to fit in so that
we are never challenged in any way. The
same is true for our lives and our search to
connect with our creator. We do the bare
minimum. We go to church once a week. We
say our five daily prayers. We practice
Shabbat every Friday. We do all these things
as we’re taught.And, we’re taught to do them
with perfect form. But that’s all it is, is form.
What’s missing is the intention. Doing form
to connect with our creator is the bare
minimum. The trick is to master this existence
and put everything into doing so. The
trick is to practice every day for the
moment of our death. Every moment gives
us that chance. Just going through rituals
by rote and doing it under the cover of a
mosque, synagogue or church is not going

and beautiful to others. Every opportunity
to be kind gets us closer to our creator.
Don’t look to the heavens to find your
creator. Look to every human being you
touch and you’ll see the divine in them.
You’ll meet the creator. Our intention
defines us, not our form. Follow your
rituals but most of all be human, be kind,
be in awe and be grateful. This is the only
chance you and I have of touching the
creator.
