“I
have walked a long walk to freedom. It has been a long road, but it is not over
yet. I know that my country was not meant to be a land of hatred. No one is
born hating another because of the colour of his skin. People learn to hate.
They can be taught to love. For love comes more naturally to the human heart.”
- Nelson Mandela
We must keep Nelson Mandela’s legacy alive, by living his
incredible wisdom. Self-love,
gratitude and forgiveness are a teachable skill.
We do not have to succumb to the conditioned practises of those who came before
us. We are a new rainbow generation. We are leaders in the field of forgiveness.
There is not another nation on this planet that has managed to quell the desire
for revenge and transform suspicion and fear into respect and compassion. And
it is all thanks to our amazing Madiba.
Today, I wish to pay homage to the great leader that Madiba
was and continues to be, even though he has passed on to another level of
consciousness.
We
all have love in our hearts. It is our inherent nature.
Don’t let anyone deceive you into believing otherwise. You are LOVE. You are
made out of love in LOVE’S likeness.
Don’t
become entrapped by your ego’s obsession with your physical body and material
experiences. You are Spirit and our spirit is ONE. We are all connected to our
Source/Creator through our indestructible spiritual selves.
When we entertain the thought that we are an isolated, solitary
person, fear, anxiety and suspicion arise in us. Fear is the playground of our
egos.
Our
strength, as a people, lies in our unity, so let’s stand together, united in Spirit
and LOVE. Let love melt the fear in your heart.
We, the nation of South Africa, have only just scratched the
surface of our incredible worth as transformative leaders of peace.
Our
road to freedom is not over yet, but we are well on the way.
Let’s persevere and dig deep within our hearts.
Love
and forgiveness are our power and there is no greater freedom than that.
Amandla!
From my heart
Nicolette
