Gowing With The Flow...Umgowo - A Xhosa term used to tell someone that you are going through the most.Variations: mgowo, gowa, gowisha, gowishing.As adults so hlezi si gowa (we will always go through something). Reminds me of a line in the movie The Colour Purple where ’Sofia” says “All my life I’ve had to fight…” It is as though for every birthday, every milestone we reach, there is a test around the corner that we must “gowa” through. Gowing With The Flow which can also be read as “Growing/Going With The Flow” is a series of my life’s journey, the journey of my family, friends and my listeners as we Gowisha (going) With The Flow; experiencing life’s up and downs, wins, twists and turns and moments of “WTF is go(w)ing on”. This is a platform where umgowo is affirmed and embraced. As much as nawe ugowa, sonke siya gowisha on some level in our lives. Look closely at the words “Going Through”, which it’s synonyms are: accomplishing, committing, completing, undergoing, experiencing, enduring… the list goes on. What does it mean for you? My personal interpretation is, we are not buried in the circumstances we find ourselves, whatever happens, we will always come out on the other side. Let it also remind you that you are not alone. That You are loved, you are love and your are worthy. And come hell or high water, we will get through it. Nomakanjani.

    There'll Never Be A Better Time For You To Start

    There'll Never Be A Better Time For You To Start

    Often times we want to wait until it feels right, until we are comfortable, until our doubts have gone down and fear is no longer there but, there'll never be a better time to start anything if you want to wait until it feels comfortable and okay to start. And I am not saying dont plan however, you can plan your whole life and still be crippled by the idea of starting. So, start now, today with what you have. You will not get it right the first few times but eventually, you will. You will find your feet and win. 

    Stop putting IT off until later when things  "eventually" align,  life will not stop for you to be ready, you just have to take the plunge and do it anyway. 

    Just Start.

    Serve Your In-Between

    Serve Your In-Between

    There is a place where you've moved past starting but you are not quite at your end goal yet, this place is called the in-between. Many of us hate the in-between, we hate not knowing, not being in control of things. But we also know that when you trust and believe in God you have no control and you do not have to know. His word says "For I have plans to prosper you...", what those plans are?  WE DO NOT KNOW and that can be very frustrating when you want something so bad and you don't know whether it is going to happen, when is it going to happen, and you find yourself in a place that feels like you are just hovering in the air. 

    You have taken the strides to start, you can see the end goal but you are just mid air. That is your in-between, a place that is also for learning, for re-shaping, for reworking, re-calculating and most times, BEING STILL. Often we think if we move, we are making progress but some times, just BE STILL  AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.... EVEN IN THE IN-BETWEEN.

    On Quitting Alcohol, Living Sober.

    Alcohol is a big part of our lives, we have it to celebrate life, to numb our pain, to make us forget, to help us get through things and some times, we have it coz we enjoy the smell and taste of it. It has become our vice and we it's slaves, whichever way you look at it.

    In this episode I share what led me to being alcohol free and how life has been since then. 

    I hope this episode reaches the hearts its intended for. I wish you healing and strength if you are taking up the sober journey. Take it from me, YOU CAN DO IT.

    Set Your Intentions Clear

    Set Your Intentions Clear

    It's a new year, lets be clear about our intentions for the year and be ready to put in the work to achieve our goals. The book of Habbakuk assures us that when we right our visions clearly, they will surely happen. So, for 2024 what do you want for yourself? What type of life do you want to lead? What type of opportunities do you want to attract? What are you willing to let go of so that a better version of you is born? 

    Set your intentions clear and be bold enough to walk in the direction of your dreams, most importantly, in the direction of God's path for your life. 

    I hope you enjoy the episode and take lessons from it. 

    Love, 
    Pholoso
