The pieces I write are written to give you a new perspective on life. Written to spur your thoughts on, to let your mind travel places. So I now expand on the piece titled, ‘Be A Man.’ What I write here are the thoughts that were spurring in my mind while writing this poem.
I’d rather ‘Be A Man’ than have to ‘Man Up’
A post directed to men, challenging them to analyse their life, to become who they were created to be. This poem was empowered by ‘Men’s Conference 2017:What makes a Hero?’ What makes a Man? hosted by Hillsong South Africa
Let’s form a brotherhood, let’s be the men who are going to challenge the world we live in. Men who are going to change the world.
Ps. Brian said that we should have a mission. A mission is single-minded, it is focused. ‘Words of Blessed’s’ mission is to empower people, to motivate and encourage them, to enable them to see the good, to see the better in whatever situation they are in.
One must enjoy and make the most out of their life. No matter the struggle, no matter the battle.
The poem twists its stance from a worldly view, which says that you aren’t enough(that you are insufficient), to a Kingdom mindset which states that you are already that. You are a Man in which you believe yourself to be…you are already there, even if you are not there. For once one wins a battle in the Mind, I believe half the battle is already over. The Mind is a powerful weapon. The Mind is a work of art.
If you master your mind, your mind can make you a master. Dr Robi Sonderegger, a Clinical Psychologist, said those words.
A Man on a mission has support. No Man is an island. You have your sisters, your brothers, your mother(s) and aunt(s) and your father(s) and uncle(s). The body of Christ is a family. A family supports each other, it encourages each other.
Words of Blessed’s mission is to empower people, to motivate and encourage them, to enable them to see the good, to see the better in whatever situation they are in.
One must enjoy and make the most out of their life. No matter the struggle, no matter the battle.
The mission is for you to take a look at life in a new lense.
The poem was written through the lens of what I saw brothers doing in the world; their thoughts, their spoken words and their actions.
It didn’t sit well with me; It still doesn’t.
Like what did my sister do or say to deserve that…whatever that is.
As men, we need to take a hard look at ourselves; Do some introspection.
Cause you need to change your life.
