Good day Family,
Today is most definitely a sad day for many throughout the world as we all mourn the passing of an icon, Nelson R. Mandela.
What can we learn from the legacy left by such a great man?! Many have tried yet few have succeeded... Why, you may ask?! This answer screams at us... Those that have failed, have failed to try again. They just gave up. Madiba didn't. He continued to fight the good fight of faith. Echoes of meliorism bounce of the walls of a nation that was oppressed. Soldiering on and staying true to the belief that all can change for the betterment of mankind is all that really matters in a world that tells us more of what we can't do than more of what we can.
Overturning circumstances to empower the human spirit and instilling a sense of self-belief is of absolute importance and this is what he did. He let his actions speak his feelings, his words shout praise and his mannerism inspire nations. The ultimate way to praise God for all He does is to let your life be your worship.
It's now left to us as individuals, as a nation, as a continent and also as a world to live in such a manner. Act out of love and not out of pride. Humility is essential in ensuring we lift people up instead of breaking them down. We have to change internally before we can effect an outward change.
In closing, I leave you with some words from the great man: "A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special."
Rest in peace Tata Madiba. You will never be forgotten.
You Have The World at Your Feet.
Stay blessed,
Fabian Frank
