Allow me to reintroduce myself I'm Rethabile,Nonhlanhla Machokwe Mabena.Yes I'm tough,I'm ambitious and I know exactly what I want and I WILL NOT BE STOPPED.If that makes me a bitch then im fine with it.
I'm a small town girl at heart, born in Pretoria and lived half of my life in Witbank and the other in Benoni and Pretoria.I had dreams of being THAT village girl that found gold in the city of eGoli but nothing could've prepared me enough for the real world that I was about to face when I got to varsity. I'm a 2010 so I've been out of varsity for the past 3years! And boy have I learned a lot but because of Gods strengthen and grace I'm blessed enough not to have become a statistic that came to Johannesburg and went back home with nothing but Aids or a baby in my belly.
I've had tough skin all life but going through my parents divorce,the murder of my cousin and having to move from one university to the other was not part of my plan. I graduated from matric at the tender age of 17 and honey I had dreams. Graduating record time at 21,from having my own law firm by 24 ,owning my own international airways to being your first female President.Little did I know that God had other plans for my life,clearly my dreams didn't match his reality for me.This is what we call destiny. We are so sucked in by our own visions that we forget to include the Great Man when we plan our future. I've been through so much I could write 5 or more novels about my life and yet I'm only 20years old. Yes, I'm far from achieving my goals but I thank God that I was able to through these hardships at a young age and able to hold my crown up high and educate other people about my lessons through the battle of running this journey called life.I'm tattooed "DESTINED FOR GREATNES" therefore I'm holding onto my dreams,discipline ,dignity,degrees and dollars THIS INVISSIBLE CROW ON MY HEAD won't fall anytime soon.
This great gift called life at times is just a bit too good to be true and the next minute its filled with hurdles, we win some and we lose some (well so they say) but the most important part of it all is to remain true to ourselves ,who we are and what we stand for.
As an individual you need to understand that you are running your own race. Don't run the marathon in other peoples lanes YOU CAME HERE ALONE ,Like Mariah said "its a long road when you face the world alone"don't expect people to help you through out the race,THIS IS NOT A RELAY and stop looking back at your past hurdles but instead keep focus and be prepared to face the next one. What happens today is a lesson,the scars from today's experiences will be great lessons and stories to tell tomorrow. You came here alone and alone you will leave.
Educate and equip yourself.
Explore your talents and be so GOOD THAT THEY CANNOT IGNORE YOU.
Discover your purpose.
Be in love with your life EVERY MINUTE OF it.
Devote your life to surving the most high God and you will continue to gain long life blessings.
Dream it and live it.
Wear your joy.
Confuse them with a smile.
Work in silence and let your success make the noise.
Be your own hero.
You are destined for greatness,you were crowned at birth and your heavenly father has plans greater than your hearts deepest desires.When God opens doors for you,on one can close them.
God gave you this life because he knew you were strong enough to live it. Leave a legacy for you kids n their grandchildren,you owe it to them.
God gave you this life because he knew that you were strong enough to live it! Make him proud honey! Believe and in faith you will grow.
Lots of love and blessings!
Thabi.M
