How many of us aim to accomplish certain things in our lives, we have goals but many times we end up not achieving the objectives we set out to achieve. After being in and out of our minds reflecting how we failed or could have done better, we end up giving up. Many of us feel as though we lived this story thousands of times and yet we end up not having a solution. In life we have many setbacks, we go through many trials and tribulations, but as human beings these are lessons we need to learn from and reflect on where we went wrong.
The key to achieving anything is to persevere and this requires consistency. Every success in our lives, everything that has a value is a product of consistency. Todays feeding with the feedings in Belhar this week has allowed us to feed 40,050 people to date, this would not have been achieved without a pure intention, perseverance and consistency.
Today we fed 2,500 people from the communities of Khayelitsha, Manenberg, Lavender Hill, Vrygrond and Ottery. How much need is there in our communities and despite the little resources and funds available we all strive towards making a difference of instilling hope in the lives of the impoverished, orphaned and destitute. Lessons we learnt on our journey is taking small steps to achieving our objectives and no matter how small the initiative being consistent and perseverance has made this possible with the mercy of our Creator.
There are many signs that we see on a daily basis but how many of us are blinded by things that will not benefit us and humanity. Have you ever reflected at the suns beauty in the early morning and how the trees and everything is at peace. Surely we want this for ourselves, to obtain inner peace, even just for a single moment. So why do we keep chasing things that does not matter and in the end we end up where we started? Should we not rather focus on the little things which seem trivial such as being generous, having patience in both good and bad times and know that we were created for a purpose. Is part of our purpose not to serve the creation of the Almighty and being consistent and having patience whilst on our journey?
We would like to that all our sponsors, the team and all those that strive to assist, we are forever grateful and your reward lies with the Almighty in being of service to humanity. Without your support all this would not be possible.
