Ancestral spirits are important in Zulu religious life, and offerings and sacrifices are made to the ancestors for protection, good health, and happiness. Ancestral spirits come back to the world in the form of dreams, illnesses, and sometimes snakes. The Zulu also believe in the use of magic.

One thing that I noticed was that Africans have really inspired me very deeply. I didn't know much about African culture. But learning something new everyday about African culture is helping me greatly. I see Africans are very hard workers. I saw this in the videos.. They are extremely hard working. They make amazing art and craft out of sheer hard work. This inspired me to work harder. Survival is a key component in Africa. It's not easy to survive in Africa under a harsh weather and scarce opportunities for vegetation. Most animals are in the forests who also have a hard time surviving during droughts. Water is a huge problem in Africa because it's not easily available. Especially in the jungles where a lot of animals need water to just survive. So survival in Africa is a tough job. Yet the African people have a great spirit to make it through day to day. And survival teaches a lot of ground values necessary for success. Africans have a strong traditional value system grounded in honesty and humility. They take life as it comes without having extraordinary demands. They are simple people who try to make life simple and logical. A lot of African practices directly stem from logic. They need the system to be a certain way to function in the right direction. This is a ground truth Within a very short span of time, I learned a lot from Africa and African culture. Africans place a huge value on color. They like things colorful because they probably see it as a way to decorate life and living. They usually prefer bright colors. As seen in the picture.

Digging into sources of inspiration or motivation One thing can be watching motivational videos Keeping 10 minutes for focus only and warming myself up Keeping a timer to track Being positive. Focus on mental state Keeping high levels of physical energy Gently coaxing myself Not giving into negativity.

@Peter-Andre more than glad

@Peter-Andre thank you for championing women's cause. More men like you are needed.

Yes I have been looking for new ways for motivation and inspiration..

Sometimes I feel like I am so used to being depressed that I don't feel upset anymore.

@Florian what's the Sedona method?

My goal is to focus more on motivation and inspiration. To work extremely hard. I have always been a hard worker, an extreme hard worker all my life. Hard work is what got me so far. Sometimes it becomes difficult to convince myself to work harder. But that's what I need to do. I have to prepare myself for the moment. There is no point in being lazy. I know tiredness sets in after years of hard work and that's what happened to me. But that's okay. I can look for new ways to getting inspiration and motivation. .

Certain things suck the motivation out of me. It's difficult to feel active all the time. But I try. My sole focus for the next 6 months is me. Also I want to stress more on explicit thinking. That is thinking before you take leap. I've been pretty impulsive all my life but this quality has also helped me to have a sharp sense of intuition. The problem is if I use too much of my brain to think, I stop thinking with my heart. And thinking with my heart is essential for the growth of intuition. But anyway there should be a balance. Also I wanted to bring in the rhythm system. Negativity sucks. It takes away a lot of the energy that you have.

@diamondpenguin thank you for your kind words.

Sometimes I feel weary and tired and I want to rest and.....

One thing I need to know is how to switch mental states from depressed to happy in quick succession. It's very easy to get depressed. So yes this is a real struggle. I shouldn't let a day be wasted feeling depressed.

I will see if I can put my witchcraft to any use.

I need to start working on the rhythm system.

This quote is useful for me. It makes a lot of sense to me in my life.

@Amit please leave my journal. Request You're too needy. I'm sorry I can't handle it.

@Amit I post whatever.. I don't care. And please reduce your comments on my journal. I don't want a reply to every comment or post I make. I feel uncomfortable that way, like I don't have the freedom to post anything. Nothing against you, but please control your obsessive habit of constantly trying to comment on everything I write. It's extreme neediness on your side and it honestly makes me very uncomfortable. Thanks

I'd simply surround myself with roses.

Right now I belong to myself

Always remember that you belong to something, someone. Always preety. Even if you don't feel it, assume it.

@Amit thanks

@Amit Yea I will need a bit a patience to feel emotionally better again. I'm a really emotional person. Sometimes I need to take a break and start thinking about my plans all over again to stay on track

@Florian I'm sorry you had such a hard time. I hope the headache resolves and you feel better. Water helps a lot with headache. If you drank a jug of water, a lot of it, it will help the headache. Also I think you really need a lot of sleep because maybe that is what is causing the issue.
