Sports / Why Juju Doesn't Work For Soccer Gamblers But Work For Yahoo Boys??? by NESTAD(m): 1:08pm On Sep 06, 2017
Abeg my people, I'm a great soccer gambler in South Africa. I don't do Yahoo but have been hearing of Yahoo Plus. These yahoo plus guys 're making bad, bloody money.

The spending no bi here oooh! Fucking all sort of hot S.A. babes, I mean solid babes, living in Paint houses that they pay approximately #1,000,000 on rent monthly. Popping all assorted drinks in the popular night club in the heart of Johannesburg(HAREM).

All these through JUJU.

My question is, DOES JUJU also work or help give Some1 accurate soccer prediction to enable us close this white people business that kept eating our hard earn money through gambling?

I need good answers oooh guys. This is not a laughing matter.

Family / Ever Wonder Why Do Bad Things Kèep Happening To Me? by NESTAD(m): 8:48am On Aug 29, 2017
If you’re superstitious, and even if you’re not, you’ve probably heard an axiom or two about bad things and the way they unfold.


In fact, you may have collected years worth of evidence proving they’re true. However, if you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do bad things happen to me?” the answer likely much simpler than you think and has little to do with “threes” or being caught up in a roll of bad luck.

This week my daughter hurt her hand at school and came home with swelled fingers that quickly turned black and blue. Of course, it makes sense that she’d bang her leg walking past a chair and no surprise that she smashed her hip sitting down for dinner. She lamented her terrible luck and asked, “Why? Why me?” Sigh.

Yeah. Getting banged around sucks, but she was ready for the next bad thing to come because she was cursed by an evil sorceress. Oh, hold-up. No, she wasn’t.

Here’s what’s really at play when bad stuff keeps happening – you’re looking for it and are hyper-attuned to it.

Wait! What? That’s it? No way.

You may be thinking that you don’t want this bad stuff to happen, and you’re not making it up. I believe you, that it’s one crappy thing after another, but that you’ve got blinders on to the good things that are also present. Those blinders cause you to dismiss positive experiences because they don’t align with the bad.

I’ve written before about the art of holding both and in this case, that’s allowing for bad things to happen in your life without it becoming mostly bad or your default expectation. Yin and yang are always at play, and where there is darkness, there is also light – you just have to look for it.

Here’s a quick exercise to illustrate seeing what you look for:

What kind of car do you drive? OR What kind of car do you plan to buy in the near future?
When you bought it, (or now, right before your purchase) did you suddenly see many more drivers on the road with the same make and model?

There’s some good news; you’re not cursed or ill-fated, and you’re definitely not doomed. You’re just looking in the wrong place.

Bad Things Happen. Stop Working So Hard to Prove Yourself Right

You look for things to prove yourself right. We all do it.

When my daughter getting banged and bruised, for example, she surmised, “I’m clumsy.” (she’s not) She also decided that bad things happen to her far more than the average person which is also not true.

When bad things are coming your way (didn’t get the job offer, lost wallet, dropped your lunch before you could eat it…) what do you tell yourself? Bet it sounds something like: “It figures.” Not a powerful or positive message to send yourself. That one thought encourages you to gloss over the good even when it’s in your face.

Stop convincing yourself that you are in a crap vortex and it’s pulling bad things your way. While you’re at it, stop working so hard to prove yourself right that you deserve the bad or that you brought it on – you don’t and you didn’t. Mounting evidence doesn’t make it true.

Want your bad day, week or month to go poof?

Be intentional and look for facts that back up your opposing perspective. Bad stuff going on? Look for facts that prove the good.

Not every day is going to be your best, but chances are, even in the worst, there’s a glimmer of good waiting for you.

BREAK THE FRAME ACTION:

It’s up to you to shift your mindset from looking for the next bad thing to looking for the good. As we discovered with the car exercise above, you find more of something when you look for it.

Good/Bad Yin/Yang Exercise:

Take a piece of paper and fold it in half and on one side label “good” and the other “bad”
Number each column 1 – 10
Reflect on your week and let your mind key in on some of your most memorable moments
Take 30 seconds and fill out the “bad” side
Take 30 seconds to fill out the “good” side
If you’re in a “why do bad things happen to me” place in your life, chances are the “bad” side flowed easily. However, once you forced your brain to see the good, they started to flow too.
If you’re in a “my life is awesome” place in your life, the flip is likely true for you.
If this silly LEGO video set to one of my favorite Weird Al songs of all time doesn’t put things into perspective, I don’t know what will.

Romance / He Took My Virginity And Now He Wants Me Back by NESTAD(m): 10:18am On Aug 17, 2017
I used to be a full-time student at Stellenbosch University – and a virgin. I met this really sweet and loving guy through a friend at church – he was just amazing. We planned my 21st birthday together, as I was away from home and staying on campus. I thought he was the one so I decided to let him take my virginity about four months after my 21st. Things were great, I was just so happy and so love that I didn’t even notice all the trips he took to the bathroom to answer calls. I became pregnant the year after we first slept together but he had to leave the country – he was a foreigner and had to get his passport renewed along with other problems he had with his documents – so I dropped out school and returned home.

He returned three months after our baby boy’s birth, and our relationship was stronger than ever – well, according to me. He promised to start dowry negotiations as soon as he found a job. I waited and waited and by that time a year had passed by. In the meantime I stopped going out, changed cellphone numbers to avoid my old friends and rapidly started losing weight. Things were not looking good for our relationship either – I was the only one trying. The money he gave me became less and less each day but his Instagram account was filled with pics of a beautiful car, gold watches and all the latest fashionable clothes. The more I spoke to him, the more his social media pages would be filled with “likes” and “loves” from other ladies. I didn't even have roll-on and our son barely had shoes or nappies. I decided to stop communicating with him and move on after begging and pleading for his love and attention.

I was job hunting and looking for opportunities after the break-up and became depressed. My family was angry at me and started pushing me away for allowing this to happen. My son also felt the effects of all this stress and his health started suffering. He got teased for looking like a “full-blown Aids patient”, and this killed me as a mother and HIV counsellor. I knew my son was very healthy and had no illness or virus – neither did I. A few weeks later I ended up in a man's bed – crying my eyes out but convinced myself I needed the money and I was doing it for my son. My baby daddy was out of the picture and I was the laughing stock of the century. This man was kind enough to notice something was wrong – he was always by my side to help me out and didn't expect anything in return so this gave me the courage to pick myself up and start afresh for my son’s sake and my sanity.

Not long after I uploaded a photo of myself on social media and to my surprise all my friends started hitting up my phone and visiting me again. I completed an e-diploma in graphic design and looked forward to brushing up my CV and finding a full-time job. I decided to continue my studies on a part-time basis and spend more time with my friends and family. Then a spanner was thrown into the works! I received a call from a private number . . . and the first thing I heard was: “If you still want to get married, then I have your ring – we can do it right now." Yup, my baby daddy was back! I froze for a few seconds then burst out laughing. I kindly declined his offer. A day later a woman called me and opened a new can of worms. She was crying hysterically and begging me not to reconcile with my baby daddy because she loves him and has been living with him for over a year. She left her fiancé for my ex. She knew about me from the start but they got together anyway. They started their own family but he left her soon after. I asked her to pray and be strong. I changed my phone number because my ex was trying to manipulate me by promising to give me all the things I wanted from him all those years ago. It was too late as I only felt pity for him. I know I’ll have to speak to him sooner or later about an agreement regarding our son but for now I'm enjoying being a mom and feeling good about myself again. I laugh, pray, flirt and go on dates but my career is more important right now.

I survived. I’m not perfect and I won’t get everything right all the time because I'm human. Even though a bad romance hurt my soul, God healed my pain – and my son keeps my heart in one piece.

To be spiritual, one need to corporate with the standard of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the best friend you can have. The Holy Spirit need attention, the Holy Spirit is Jealous when you decide to give to much attention to the human nature.

Remember, we are the Spirit of God. Our body and Soul live inside the Spirit. When we die, the body and Soul leaves and the spirit returns to God. The Bible tells us that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and must be kept holy.

In a nulshell, we have to plead with the Holy Spirit to help us practise spirituality and once the Holy Spirit is in us, it will start directing our path in life. The Holy Spirit will tell you what to do and not you telling the Holy Spirit what it need to do for you. Once we allow the Holy Spirit to tell us what to do, you will realize, you are more spiritual because you will live a holy life, wisdom, knowledge and understanding will be your portion.

The moment you corporate with the standard and Principles of the holy spirit, you will live a peaceful and stress free life.

The difference Between spirituality and spiritualism is:

Spirituality basically concerns with discovering one's inner self as been inmatrrial, where u become more careful with the way u relate with human and God.

When we are spiritual, it makes us have a better understanding of God as Lord and maker of all things, we begin to see and reason differently from other people who are not spiritual.

When we talk about spiritualism, we refer to people's relationship with the death and mediums. These people believe, the can talk to the death people. From this, you will have a good understanding that those who practise spiritualism does not believe in the existence of the supreme God Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth.

I was meditating on the word religion and spirituality and came to an understanding that most people practise religion and ignore the principal of spirituality.

We inherent religion and practice spirituality as we grow deep in our faith.

Where is our position in the above mention as the children of the most high God.
