Dating the wrong person can age you so badly. You will look like a dead version of yourself , dull skin, weight issues, personality gone. You just don’t know if you’re coming or going.
I realised its not laziness or procrastination, when you reach a certain state of depression you get so detached from reality and you don't wish to participate in anything in life, you just want to sleep and wake up and actually not speak to anyone.
I think I owe myself an apology for being in spaces where I knew l wasn't wanted & appreciated but instead I stayed, for forcing broken connections & ships. I owe myself an apology for putting people who never appreciated me before myself, doubting myself
8 POLITICAL PARTIES FORM ALLIANCE AHEAD OF THE 2026 ELECTIONS
#Zambia
By KBN TV Staff Reporter
✅Eight political parties, among them, the Patriotic Front and Citizens First, have come together in a long-anticipated alliance that shares a common goal to moot a plan that responds to numerous citizen's concerns*
✅In a joint statement released today at the New Heritage Party Secretariat and read by United Liberation Party President Sakwiba Sikota, the Alliance said it was abundantly clear that the country faces challenges that require an immediate alternative plan*
✅A myriad reason cited for their emergency national rescue plan includes shrinking democratic space, corruption, gagging of citizens, chaotic management of the health sector which has led to the disruption of supply chains for medical supplies, breakdown of life-saving medical equipment and failure to manage the cholera outbreak since October last year*
✅Other matters of great concern to the alliance are the unprecedented rise in the cost of living that is well beyond the reach of ordinary Zambians, a high cost of fuel, foreign exchange that is in freefall and now at an all-time high, shortage of mealie meal creating a hunger situation and high prices and breaking the law to import Genetically Modified Foods*
✅The alliance says the mining sector has not been spared from the alleged chaos leading to reduced taxes payable by these mining houses with the net effect of reduced income to the Government while Zambians, who earn very little were being highly taxed to sustain a struggling economy*
“It is very clear to us that no one Political Party, no one messianic individual, no matter how well-endowed, educationally, financially and otherwise, can sincerely purport to resolve the magnitude of problems that we have just outlined. It would be self-deception, delusional and down-right dishonest.”
“Therefore, the leaders gathered here have therefore resolved to come together and join hands in a political alliance in order to save Zambia through unity of purpose and a pragmatic national redemption action program involving all Zambians.”
✅The alliance has appealed to other Political Parties, the Church, Traditional Leaders, NGOs, Students in institutions of Higher learning, researchers, Academics and all Zambians of like mind in and out of the country, to rally this national rescue plan.
✅The alliance has been formed by Citizens First represented by Harry Kalaba, Forum for Democracy and Development represented by Edith Nawakwi, Golden Party of Zambia represented by Jackson Silavwe, National Democratic Congress represented by Saboi Imboela, New Heritage Party represented by Chishala Kateka, Patriotic Front represented by former Head of State, Edgar Chagwa Lungu and United Liberation Party represented by lawyer, Sakwiba Sikota.
1. Be joyful. Life isn’t always a party but you can and should celebrate what God is doing in your life even if no one else does.
2. Be discerning. Not everyone who says they are for you are really for you. People are generally for themselves in the end.
3. Be wise. Not every opportunity is from God. Sometimes what looks like God setting you up is the enemy setting you back.
4. Be tactful. Don’t say everything you think, feel or see. Just pay attention and move accordingly.
5. Be merciful. Forgive quickly and show mercy often. You’ll need both one day so pay it forward.
6. Be thankful. No one owes you anything (unless you have worked for it), so receive everything with gratitude.
7. Be self-aware. Do the heavy lifting for others by already being aware of your need for improvement, what’s going on in and around you and the role you play in making things better. A rebuke from others should rarely be a surprise to you.
8. Be intentional. Life doesn’t happen automatically. Living life without a plan is like driving a car without a wheel—you’re bound to crash.
9. Be spiritual. Things aren’t always as they appear so don’t be so quick to judge everything by what you see. God has a plan, a Name and a purpose. Lean into that and encourage others to do the same.
10. Be humble. You don’t own anything and you can’t take anything with you. Take correction, help others when you can and embrace your process. Be more focused on who you are becoming than what you are creating.
11. Be human. Be rational AND emotional. Be curious and brave, work hard and do nothing at times, too. Succeed, make mistakes and learn so you can grow. Whatever you do, don’t apologize for being a person.
12. Be purposeful. Don’t do anything or connect with anyone “just because.” You have a God-given purpose to walk in. Use your gifts to fulfill your calling. Leave your mark in this world and only maintain connections with people who want to see you win.
DON’T SETTLE
It shouldn’t be that in order to be liked, accepted, or approved of, you have to allow people to dishonor, use, or abuse you.
Regardless of what people say (or post), respect yourself enough to:
(1) Study the Bible & pray for insight into proper relationship management.
(2) Set the standard for love in your relationships by loving others first.
(3) Lovingly confront those who are unintentionally insensitive towards you & avoid those who are intentionally offensive.
(4) Choose peace over conflict & strife as much as possible.
(5) Trust the LORD to manage your reputation while you focus on building good character.
YOU ARE WORTHY of real love & true friends. Don’t settle for less. Value you!
I prophesy to 10 people, “BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR, YOU WILL SING JESUS IYE WITH HANDS ON YOUR HEAD, AND TEARS FROM YOUR EYES BECAUSE GOD HAS DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE” in Jesus’ name.
Keep Your issues to yourself. Some of those you trust are currently using your issue as an example of Negativity in their bedroom conversation yet still act like they care. Shield them off !
