Devil vs Self-Sabotage

If the Devil walked that Earth, his legal bill would be the highest in the world…

Think about it, every time something bad happens us, who is the easiest person to blame?? The Devil. When someone does something bad, like murdering his whole family, he is possessed by the Devil. Teenage years, your child starts drinking and doing drugs, “ungenwe ngu Satan”.

So if the guys walked the Earth he would need a strong team of lawyers, he who would have been in and out of court, because he would have been sued each and every single day. My friends let us leave the devil alone, untwana ka Thixo has had it naye ngok.

One might ask: “But Mzu, if we leave the devil alone, then who do we blame”??? Before I answer that, please nohlukane noomakhulu babantu, just because umntu is not pretty enough for your liking and has a complicated brain disorder doesn’t make them a dart board for your misfortunes.

Now to answer who to blame:

YOU, blame YOURSELF. The man (or woman) who said “everything happens for a reason” didn’t say that reason was magical, they actually finished the line as follows “… and you are the reason”, just that no one saw that last part because it was written on the second page, no one bothered to turn the bloody page. So here it goes: “Everything happens for a reason and you are the reason”, you can thank me later.

So my friends, whatever happens in your life, good or bad, it’s your fault. Trace your steps, you will find where and what went wrong, rectify that and move on with your life.

• If you fail a test, you don’t understand the work or you didn’t study enough. Not the test was too hard or your lecturer hates you.
• If someone slaps you across the face, you probably pissed them off. Not that he is possessed.
• If you don’t win a marathon, you didn’t exercise your muscles enough in order to improve your speed. Not the road was too steep and long.

One of the best advice I ever gave myself is:

“Mzu, it has occurred, don’t try to change it bro, learn from it, build yourself from it and move on”

if I assumed g=11 m.s^-2 in a physics test and failed, I will ask my teacher, learn that it’s actually g=9.81 m.s^-2 and move on to the next test/exam, beating myself over it and blaming external factors will not change the situation, I have failed and thats it!!!

In closing, YOU are the accounting officer for everything that is going on in your life. You may not control event and situations, but you are in control of how you react and handle them. Let’s handle situations better and leave the Devil alone.

There is a quote that goes:

“Sometimes even the devil sits back and admires my own work”
