Tell Them when they are still alive!

In July 23th 2020, Tanzania’s lost the Former President Benjamin William Mkapa.  I knew him as the third president of United Republic of Tanzania, maybe I didn’t know much because I’m neither a diplomat nor a politician. This President did a lot for this country, Africa and the world at large, I wonder why all this information about him wasn’t open as they are now that he is gone. Soon After his death I began to hear a lot about him, so many good things that I personally had no idea of. I wish the documentary about him was created when he was still alive so that he could have read it and known it. Thank God he wrote a book My Life, My purpose before he died at least the future generation will know more about him through the book. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

It’s the nature of the world to disclose more good information about a person when he is dead, I usually wonder what will happen if all the good things that are said about people when they are gone would be shared when they are still alive. Will those word add value to a person? Or will they make more sense? I don’t know, but what I feel that is that we should create a culture where we appreciate and tell people all the good things they did or they are now doing when they are still alive.

This is the reminder to whoever is reading this to always tell all the good things, appreciation, and whatever good thing you feel about your family, relative or friend when they are still alive.

There will be a hastag soon in my Instagram account(gloriabusungu) #WambieWakiwaHai, #TellThemWhenTheyAreStillAlive, #MwambieAkiwaHai, I will post everyone who want to say a compliment to someone, appreciate someone and let the world know the good about the person when they are still alive.

Topic: Family, friend, Society and Community.

Gloria Busungu : Love Them As They Are

Love is a beautiful thing, it begins within. Even the scripture says that “Love your neighbor as yourself”, it’s a conditional statement you love yourself first then you will know how to love others/ neighbor as you love you. There is no pure love to others if we have not loved ourselves enough. One of the best feeling in this world, is to know and be sure that you are loved as who you are, that someone knows the really you, your flaws and forte and loves you anyways. This begins with you first loving you as you are, knowing your strength and weakness and love yourself anyway, this gives you the strength to patiently understanding others and love others as they are. In life we are opportune to live with family, friends and neighbors who have different behaviors and attitudes, some of the behavior may feel offensive but one of the things I have learned is that you are not the emotional caretaker of everyone who is important to you, you have only one duty and that is to love th

Pray daily for the universe and all human kind.

  Opening Quote: A day without prayer is a day without blessing, and a life without prayer is a life without power -Edwin Harvey The better the world is; the better your peace will be.   This sound silly but it is important to pray for all people, everyone needs God’s grace and mercy. If you get one minute to pray for all human kind, you will live differently, you will see people differently and you will love and respect them regardless of their difference in color, religion, culture, political party, or anything that divine humans. Once you pray for all is when you realize all people matters, everyone need help of some kind, everyone needs appreciation and consideration. Here is my simple prayer for all human kind, you can use it as it is or modify it to fit your desire. “Dear Loving and Merciful Father, everyone in the entire universe needs your mercy, grace, forgiveness and guidance. We all need your love, protection and favor.   Have mercy on us all, forgive us all, save us a

Love and respect all people and wish them well

  Opening Quote: “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you” -Matthew (7:12) Do you like being loved, appreciated, respected and valued? If the answer is yes, do the same to your fellow human. Teach your heart to love and respect all people regardless of their gender, social, religious, gender and nationality status.   If they respect you, respect them. if they don’t respect you, respect them as well . We gain nothing by respecting only those who are treating us better neither do loose a thing by respecting all regardless of their behavior. Let you values not change with time or peoples action. Your actions define who you are, but other people’s action define who they are. Don’t ever change your nature because they have refused to change theirs. Let your nature be respecting people at all weather and in all situation . Wish wellness to every human kind, their success will not limit yours, it may either add a catalyst to yours or never have any impact on your lif
