The Walls of Jericho...oh oh...

This is my new JAM!! Proudly South African! It has a bit of a beat, and inspiration.

My take away from this song:

1. If you persist, any walls will come down for you, when you pursue your purpose and your dreams. This is the story of Jericho. If you didn't know...it comes from the Bible. I know right? Pretty cool.
2. Some walls are not there to stop you, but to test how badly you want something...and how far you're willing to go to reach your dream.
3. South Africans really make me proud to be one! Well done Pascal & Pearce! *airpunch* YES!

Enjoy!

Pascal & Pearce feat. Jimmy Nevis - Jericho

Source of Lyrics - edited

I'm tired of the same thing

Gotta just get it 
To get some
I keep my head spinning
Hands to the ceiling
Just for fun

But something changed

Babe you're the one to blame
Felt like you are my rainbow after the rain
Oh, I never ever ever thought I'd feel this way

And you came right in now down these walls of Jericho

I didn't know you the one that I was looking for
I tried to break through but these reasons wouldn't let me go
But you came right in now down these walls of Jericho

I'm tired of the same thing

Gotta just get it
To get some
I keep my head spinning
Hands to the ceiling
Just for fun

But something changed

Babe you're the one to blame
Felt like you are my rainbow after the rain
Oh, I never ever ever thought I'd feel this way

And you came right in now down these walls of Jericho

I didn't know you the one that I was looking for
I tried to break through but these reasons wouldn't let me go
But you came right in now down these walls of Jericho


You came right in and I downed these walls of Jericho

Matters of the Heart

As much as it pains me to do this, I have to do this....to clarify, to find courage, to let go, to be willing to receive...and to Open...

It's been 27 years years, 3 very short-lived relationships and very long-ended, long un-mended relationships, and every time...I lose a little bit more courage to let my guard down, for fear of being hurt. Instead of building myself up to be stronger than I currently am, I build the walls to protect myself from anymore heartache.

I've said yes by remaining silent to a question. I've said yes by assuming more than he said with his lack of actions. I've also believed in his sweet nothings, rather than watching his actions. I've been too young, or too ready or too naive...As easy as I am to be a friend, I don't open the doors to my heart very easily if someone wants to be more than that.

It's weird, some say...that I've remained single for so long...I don't know why it has been so...but a large part has NOT been because many guys have knocked on my door and I've been fussy and said no. If anything, I've always felt bad for the guy. For some odd reason, it pains me to see rejection...especially if that source is from me...So if you find yourself knocking on my door for some reason, and nobody's home...please just know...she's either sleeping, waiting to see who's there, or...she's building some courage to open her door. I pray that either she or him, will have enough wisdom to know the difference.

A few months ago, after my heart was shattered into pieces. The person who now has no face, made me realise something so important:

When you're going nowhere, nobody comes to find you. When you're going somewhere, there will always be someone coming to find you.

This has been the case for me every time...And each time it was a great learning experience for me. A lesson in love, a lesson in who they are, and most importantly...a lesson in who I am. I maintain that I am probably not the girlfriend that every guy wants, but probably the wife that some guys would love to have...What an odd contradiction. Just know, that if you find me...be prepared to be my friend first, lest I run for the hills, or kick you in the nuts.

Why does this post pain me so much? I don't know...I have a few possible answers...
1. Matters of the Heart are so personal, it feels like I'm stripping in front of the eyes world
2. When I've declared what my heart's desire is...and what presents itself, may not bring me happiness...Will I take responsibility for my words? After all...I am a woman...despite my intentions, my nature changes like the weather.
3. I am not for the feint-hearted. This post will most likely scare off many guys...especially the ones that are not serious about committing to love and happiness...especially the ones who want to own love, and accessorize their arms with a new toy.
4. I fear the thing that I want the most. An amazing love, that will move me to tears. I fear that I will get what I wish for. I believe I deserve love, and I do not settle for anything less!

I would like to declare:

1. I am not afraid anymore! I have walls...but they are there to protect me from the guys who aren't willing to put in the time and the effort to appreciate me. I am not saying that I am perfect, because no one is. All I am saying is, that if you've expressed a desire to woo, at least follow through! What hurts me most...is half-halfheartedness...It hurts me, when logistics become the nature of my relationship. It hurts me when all that happens is a one sided conversation. It hurts me when you are not yourself. It hurts me when either party holds on too tightly or too loosely. So whoever you are out there...Be prepared.

2. I am a woman. Although my nature is unstable, and emotional...I am true in all my dealings. I always aim to avoid harm, if I am involved in choosing. I am a believer in laws, in honour and integrity. I have been told that I may be perceived to be a fragile flower, but...I wear it with so much strength! I believe that it is true. I have been also told that there is beauty in me...Outside and In. I hope that holds true...until the day I meet the end of my season.

3. I am a warrior! Although I may be as a fragile flower, I am strong for the people I love. I know who I am, and what I am here for. And if you stop me from fulfilling my purpose, God has already promised a very tough time for you...so take heart! I will not be enacting vengeance, because that is not my place...Just be warned.

4. I am a believer. Of fairy tales. Of creating your own story. Of romance. Of...happy endings...Of...the innate good nature of each life form, despite the consequences of their actions. Do not quote me on this though without taking into context of this quote. So I reserve all Rights. I am a firm believer of good intentions, but with great wisdom.

5. I am a leader. I lead and I create my life. I inspire myself, and hopefully others, on a daily basis. I am passionate about success, and adding value. I teach what I love and I love what I teach. I love making a difference. I am grounded in value.

Who am I looking for?
1. A believer. Of possibilities, of Truth, of the law, of beauty, of himself and of me
2. A protector. Of truth, of His love, respect, time, of his dream, and of me
3. A leader. Of his own life, his own direction, his own purpose, of people in his life....and sometimes, of me
4. A driver. Of his future, of his family and his outlook.
5. A warrior. Of his ground, i.e. his beliefs and values, His honour and mine, of...his purpose.
6. A teacher. Of his wisdoms, his talents, in patience and love.
And above all else, he acts with integrity.

When....
This I don't know. I wanted to give myself a year...but I am fully aware, I cannot control who I meet, and whether my conditions are reasonable. I believe that when I am ready, he will appear. If not, if he is who he is...he will still be there, when I become ready. I am not asking him to wait, because that is not fair. ON me nor on him.

All I am asking is that he just be him. If he tries to be anyone else...I will know...and it will be very hard for me to appreciate him. So take heart. I don't need a man who can prove himself to be the best, but a man who can meet the strength of his words, and honour the life of his virtues. I want a ordinary man, with extraordinary dreams - however small or big. He must just be inspired to pursue them with all his heart, all his mind and all his soul...and realise where I fall in his life, if I do.

NOTE: That I take responsibility of my choices. That is why...I don't let others FORCE people into my life. If they can't die for me, I refuse to let them live for me. Thank you for sharing though ;).
Also, if I am not a Happy Person, I cannot give you Happiness. and vice versa :).

So in Opening: ...let the "Hunger Games begin! May the odds ever be in your favour!"

Yours in Heart
Donna

Fear of Falling
 Katherine Jenkins

On the list of hearts that have been broken,
It's not hard to find a place that bears my name.
So I learned to leave every door unopened,
Certain all I'd find was just more of the same.

I just lived my life,
Turned days to night,
But I didn't count on you.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.

Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am.

For so long there was no hope to believe in,
Washed away with every tear I cried.
But now my dreams are wide awake and breathing,
And I'm letting out all that I held inside.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.

Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am.

Now my fear of falling,
Is nowhere in me calling,
Telling me to run while I still can.

Holding nothing back now,
Seems I have at last found,
Love that makes me want to give you all I am

Take These Wings

Mini-me was playing hymns on the piano today. As she was doing so, some really fond memories of our childhood came flooding back. These memories were of us singing in our church camps. She, gracefully, dancing her fingers through the piano...while I was laughing and catching my breath. One song in particular, came to mind.

A touching...story of a gentle dying sparrow....A Story about flying. A story about a new fragile life...waiting to take off..

My wish to you, is the same wish to me: May your new journey take flight...may your hope and faith soar you to new heights...and may your love be the support through the toughest darkest times...You can fly. Just...BELIEVE.

Yours...in flight
Donna :)

Enjoy!

Take These Wings 

Words by Steve Kupferschmid

Music by Don Besig

I found a sparrow lying on the ground;
Her life I knew would soon be at an end.
I knelt before her as she made a sound,
and listened as she said,

"My Friend,
Take these wings....
and learn to fly
to the highest mountain in the sky.

Take these eyes
and learn to see
all the things so dear to me.

Take this song
and learn to sing, fill your voice
with all the joys of spring;

Take this heart
and set it free.
Let it fly beyond the sea."

I found another sparrow on the sand,
A tiny bird whose life had just begun.
I picked him up and held him in my hand;
I smiled at him and said,

"My son,
Take these wings
and learn to fly
to the highest mountain in the sky;
Take these eyes and learn to see
all the things so dear to me.

Take this song
and learn to sing,
fill your voice with all the joys of spring;
Take this heart
and set it free,
Let it fly beyond the sea."

The Old Astronomer

I found this today while browsing through Facebook, thank you to "I F**king Love Science" for this amazing post. It has been a while since I've read a poem...The last time I read one was probably my last year of high school almost 10 years ago, having been forced to appreciate poems for the sake of passing an English test...

Read this....You will be wow'd if not awed...if not any...Take away this Idea...That every great man, every person has something important to share, and if it dies with them...their legacy dies with them...henceforth, be the teacher...pass on your knowledge, ignite the flame of passion, so that you...by teaching, can create the biggest change in the world...in your students.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Old Astronomer - Sarah Williams

Reach me down my Tycho Brahé, -- I would know him when we meet,
When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet;
He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how
We are working to completion, working on from then to now.

Pray remember that I leave you all my theory complete,
Lacking only certain data for your adding, as is meet,
And remember men will scorn it, 'tis original and true,
And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you.

But, my pupil, as my pupil you have learned the worth of scorn,
You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed to be forlorn,
What for us are all distractions of men's fellowship and wiles;
What for us the Goddess Pleasure with her meretricious smiles.

You may tell that German College that their honor comes too late,
But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant's fate.
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

What, my boy, you are not weeping? You should save your eyes for sight;
You will need them, mine observer, yet for many another night.
I leave none but you, my pupil, unto whom my plans are known.
You "have none but me," you murmur, and I "leave you quite alone"?

Well then, kiss me, -- since my mother left her blessing on my brow,
There has been a something wanting in my nature until now;
I can dimly comprehend it, -- that I might have been more kind,
Might have cherished you more wisely, as the one I leave behind.

I "have never failed in kindness"? No, we lived too high for strife,--
Calmest coldness was the error which has crept into our life;
But your spirit is untainted, I can dedicate you still
To the service of our science: you will further it? you will!

There are certain calculations I should like to make with you,
To be sure that your deductions will be logical and true;
And remember, "Patience, Patience," is the watchword of a sage,
Not to-day nor yet to-morrow can complete a perfect age.

I have sown, like Tycho Brahé, that a greater man may reap;
But if none should do my reaping, 'twill disturb me in my sleep
So be careful and be faithful, though, like me, you leave no name;
See, my boy, that nothing turn you to the mere pursuit of fame.

I must say Good-bye, my pupil, for I cannot longer speak;
Draw the curtain back for Venus, ere my vision grows too weak:
It is strange the pearly planet should look red as fiery Mars,--
God will mercifully guide me on my way amongst the stars.

Note: The first four stanzas were included in an anthology, The Best-Loved Poems of the American People, ed. by Hazel Felleman (1936) under the inauthentic title "The Old Astronomer to His Pupil."

Thank you Wikipedia for making it possible to experience such beautiful words.

Growing Pains...

"Crash and Burn"

            - Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Some people may not understand me, and what I am going through...and that is okay. Savage Garden does, and so does Blair Singer, perhaps Harv...I know God knows...and my close friends and family.

Oprah once said to one of her guests, when you think you understand the lesson being learnt in your life, the Universe will test you. 

I suppose if you understand it truly, then you will pass the test...if you do not understand, you will be forced to re-learn the lesson you were meant to learn. 

- Just be patient with yourself. The process of learning is a steady and sacred process. 

- Be kind to yourself, because if you aren't...who will? The world is not kind to failures. Think of yourself as a success in progress - a work in progress...just keep progressing, as Harv will say.

As Alex Mandossian says: "Sloppy Success is better than Perfect Mediocrity!"

"FIRE, READY, AIM!!!!!" - Alex...God bless your soul, for making me shoot before my little voice drowned out all my insane courage. I know my little voice is there to protect me...but overprotection negates the progress of yourself and the others around you.

I know. I was a victim of overprotection. This is what happens when people believe in a criminal country....and over-protective parents.

I don't regret my parents for doing what they did though. They made every single effort to make sure I was out of harm's way...I am very naive...and I would have had way too many scars to recover from before living out my true purpose...So thank you Mom, thank you Dad. Thank you my second mom (my big sis), and my big bro (my adopted rich dad)...my other bro - my Mr Frost for being my constant guardian...You protect me even when I lose sight of protecting myself.

And my little sister...Who is too wise for her age. Thank you for letting me be silly and too optimistic, because...for some reason...you have my back. And this song that I'm playing now...it's dedicated to the time you replayed it to me...when I broke down in tears because it was too hard.

I am here. Here for you now, if you need me. But I know you're a strong lady.

I am here. Here for me. always.

I have no choice. Because my mentees depend on me. Because my parents...I need to make you proud of me.

Blessing or a curse?

Always acknowledge your successes, always celebrate it. When you downplay your success the universe will no longer give you more because you don't enjoy having success.*

Same principle goes with anything in life!

Appreciate everything you want more of!

If you want more love, love LOVE. Love and bless the ones who display the attributes of love best in your life.

If you want more money, bless and model the rich and successful.

If you want more happiness, bless and learn from the happiest.

Do not learn from the people who are BROKE! (Harv voice!) Do not learn from people who are unsuccessful and do not learn from people who do not walk their talk! Credibility! Integrity! As Harv says, your word has to be gold. He tells me that I must do what I say and say what I do, otherwise where is my integrity!

And always...ALWAYS, acknowledge all your sources as Blair Singer says. Any source that has contributed to your success, not acknowledged is like a crime against them. You've robbed them of credits due to them! Do NOT DO THAT. Imagine a movie being made about your life, and you weren't even thanked for living...and someone made that movie and got all the credit for your living!!?!? **

And when you're in the receiving end of that success...say thank you. Don't deflect! Be a good receiver. When you're the source being thanked, appreciate the gratitude! Harv must be so proud of me now, and angry Norman...I am a good receiver! You are welcome to take the bill anytime...large or small, and I won't feel bad anymore! I will look you in the eyes and appreciate your kind gesture by saying thank you. I won't abuse you because I appreciate you.

So it's Monday and I need to get out of bed and go to my amazing new job :).  Have a great week!

Be happy, healthy, loving, thankful.

Yours in eternal happiness and gratitude and most of the above! lol.

With love, always 

Donna

* - IF you do not appreciate what's been given to you, God will take it away. Even what you have will be taken from you! #parable of Talents (Google: Bible Verse)

Babel of Languages

What an interesting read from:

- Ted Blog (http://blog.ted.com/2013/02/19/5-examples-of-how-the-languages-we-speak-can-affect-the-way-we-think/)

- Economist Keith Chen ( http://blog.ted.com/2013/02/19/saving-for-a-rainy-day-keith-chen-on-language-that-forecasts-weather-and-behavior/)

It makes you realise in order to live a life of perspective, despite it's efficiency and it's universality, knowing ONE LANGUAGE, does not help you live a 3D life! 

Every culture, every history, every lesson, every tradition, every meaning is embedded in the mystery of each language. It is your duty to unpack the meaning of your language. The meaning of your background. The meaning of your BEING!

Oh woe is me...I have departed so far away from my Asian roots, by conforming to the efficiency and the culture of open-mindedness and fast - the Western dance! I've embraced the slow quality of South Africa and the Walk that is uniquely African. Now I need to brush up on my Mandarin - my East, because as amazing as google translate is...it will translate a message from English to Chinese(traditional/simplified), but all the meaning and the lessons in my mother language is literally lost in the translation.

How do I answer for my ancestral history if I cannot live and breathe their legacy. Instead I've run away from it all, because it no longer serves me in South Africa. What short sighted thinking!

In T.Harv Eker style ( http://makeovercoaching.com/private-coaching/)

        I, Donna Chiang, hereby commit to learning something Chinese/Mandarin every day. It may be a word, or a food, or a saying, or practicing greeting, or teaching what I need to learn.(#BlairSinger). *baby steps* "

THINK BIG START SMALL" 

 I will do this NO MATTER WHAT! I will do whatever it takes!

*digital signature*

Why is this important to me?

Before I start pursuit new things, I need to know me first! Yes I love French, but if I can't appreciate my own mother tongue first, how do I let others show me their appreciation for their own language?

Here's to doing for my parents, my grandparents, my church brothers and sisters, my friends in France, my friends in Singapore, my family in Taiwan, the Mandarin speaking world who is arriving on my African doorstep! And my two lovable mentees who wanna learn my language - I will do it for you my Zulu speaking inspiration, and my dearest Congolese happiness sun :). 

I can! I will! I strengthen! #Obama! Yes I can!

Until next time

Take care of YOURSELF,  and your Mother Tongue. #roots

The Thorn

I started with the Thorn in my Flesh*, and ended with the Greatest Gift:

Love**!!

*- Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, ⁷ or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. ⁸ Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. (2 Cor 12:6-8),

** - And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the GREATEST of these is LOVE (2 Cor 13:13)

Some Hymns/Songs from Donna’s DJ Box: to YOU...

TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
 In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conqu’rors we are!

His Word shall not fail you, He promised;
Believe Him and all will be well;
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Jesus LOVES ME

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.

Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

"Love Is All Around" – Wet Wet Wet – (Love Actually Soundtrack)

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go, oh yes it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the
Way that I feel

There'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend

As I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
Of all the things you said, oh yes I did
You gave your promise to me and i
Gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do, oh yes I do
You know I love you, I always will,
My mind's made up by the
Way that I feel
There's no beginning,
There'll be no end
'cause on my love you can depend
Got to keep it moving
Oh it's written in the wind
Oh everywhere I go, yeah, oh well
So if you really love me, love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it (come and let it show, baby)
Come on, come on, come on let it show baby
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show, baby
Come on and let it show

By bit (bit by bit, bit by bit)....

It doesn’t have to be a romantic kind of love…as the world expects it to be. It is everywhere…at home, at work, at church…in any relationship, friendship…the most meaningful kind of relationship, the most meaningful kind of cause….STARTS with LOVE.

Have an amazing, loving weekend with the People you LOVE, and WHO LOVE YOU! And REMEMBER...to LOVE YOURSELF!

"I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
(Is unfair)

I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your own happiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Until you say goodbye

Ohh no no no no
No no no no
No no wo wo
Ohh no no no no
Ohh no no no no
Ohh no no no no"

These are some amazing lyrics!

Listen/watch the music video. I hope you love it as much I love it. Super sad that Savage Garden disappeared after a short few years, and Darren Hayes also disappeared after releasing his 2CDs...I think South Africa has forgotten about you...even though now I see you're still making music on twitter.

Here's to hoping YOU come back...in whichever way is best.

Watch YouTUBE: Affirmation - Savage Garden - LYRICS

It's weird how some things don't change, and some do. Savage Garden was my first huge crush band growing up. While the rest loved Backstreet Boys and Vengaboys..., I was dreaming of the day I would meet Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones. I can now say that....Millionaires that I know are probably the kindest, most generous souls on the planet, because they know what it takes and they give back...not because they have to, but because it gives them fulfillment and they have found their true calling and purpose...and in so they allow others to do the same.

THANK YOU:

- Success Resources for bringing National Achiever's Congress to South Africa last year and allowing me to be wow'd and meet T. Harv Eker
- T. Harv Eker for letting me start the Quantum journey with you. Since then I've made so much more progress and more learning in the last 8 months in my personal life than I've ever had in my 27 years of living.  And in so doing...your Quantum Programme allowed me to meet one very unforgettable character...
- Blair Singer :). I still don't know how or why you came to be in South Africa, but I am just grateful. Truly. Thank you for identifying my little voice, equipping me to beat it down, because I am worthy of success. When I believe, that's when I can promote me!

May God bless all of you.
