Aus Phetola made a good distinction between 'happiness' and 'joy' ❤️ Happiness is a temporary feeling and it's usually determined by external things. While joy is an everlasting state of mind - it's not dependent on circumstances. Deciding to be joyous is refusing to give your circumstances power. Hence the bible always mentions the word: Joy 👇🏾 "Do not grieve for the JOY of the Lord is your strength" - Nehemiah 8:10 A joyous person is a content person ❤️
This installment brought me to tears because this is exactly where I'm at now, things can get so hectic esp for us people who are living with mental illnesses 🥺. I remember how I badly wanted to finish off my qualification, thinking that it'd be the most thrilling experience ever and it would somehow give me that sense of "finally, I have arrived" to my surprise, that's not the case. Things are more hectic than I thought they would be and now I'm constantly thinking that maybe if I get a job then that would be it you know but I realise that we will never "arrive" we'll constantly wish to get to a certain destination and when we finally get there it won't just be enough 😭🤷♀️ which result in fueling up our anxiety
We are really not worthy of this wholesome content. 😭 Thank you so much guys for allowing God to use you this way. You were called for such a time as this! We love and appreciate you always! ❤️
"The grass is not greener on the other side - It is greener where you water it" 🔥🔥 Shuu powerful words from Mr Makhetha I fully agree with this 💯 The 'place' doesn't really matter. The state of mind, however, matters. Effort is important 📌
This was dope. I have struggled with the "what's next" syndrome. I think society places a lot of pressure on us to constantly be moving. Sometimes it's movement but to a destination that we don't even know. It's weird coz at times your movement is disguised as productivity but you know in your heart of hearts that it is not. I think it's a lot tougher when you're a man that has to lead. I can go on and on about this.
This is such a word in season. I’m on my last day of vacation right now and I feel like myself for the first time in ages but now I was feeling anxious about going back to real life. This conversation has done so much for me ♥️🙏🏾
The secret I discovered after half a century in my journey is to find my purpose here on planet earth according to God’s predestination plan. When I discovered my purpose, I experienced the peace that surpasses all understanding because Mathew 6:33 says “ seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and his righteousness and all the things shall be added unto you “. Basically, get your purpose and things that we want so much will be added .
You guys keep getting better at this. This is one of my fave videos (I feel like I’ll keep saying this to every other video) buy I genuinely feel like this is one of those that one needs to constantly revisit every now and then. God bless your marriage and family ❤️❤️❤️
Kannete! The power of now. Made me enjoy my daughter today. She is in boarding school and for her to be home i cant afford to think about tomorrow i must enjoy every moment. She is 15 years and can cooked nice lunch for us today. So many things i want to run after but happiness is watching her doing things that i never thought she will grow up so fast and do...
I could listen to both of you talk all day , especially on this topic. A word in season for me and I just want to let it sink into my heart. I’ve repeated the video twice already and I’m definitely going to watch it again. Thank you 🌸
I love this..we always base happiness on the next level that we rob ourselves of the joy of the now.. esp in this life we live in for example it’s like buying a car and instead of really enjoying the moment that you really did that for yourself re jagela to go post or for some people to see and when they don’t compliment we become sad now you robbed yourself of that joyful moment because seeing people happy for you was the next level you put to your moment.. I don’t know maan... But most of us really do struggle with this because it means nothing is ever enough..and sometimes parents end up projecting on kids.. a kid would pass and they would say “yeah next term you should gets 80% on what and what “
Yoo Naledi i know what you talking about last year i jst had to put the camera away for a moment and enjoy the moment and live in it. I always wanted to fly my parents nd finally it happened nd if i was not in the moment i would have missed the smiles, the joy and excitement ❤
@@tebalelomarobane8496 you get what I mean ?..I never I want to regret enjoying my moment..I realise it now that even when I was young I would enter expo science competitions and I wouldn’t really celebrate tlabe enjoy my project because I was more focused on winning and when I didn’t I would be so disappointed and discouraged.. my mom kept all my projects and it feels so sad that only now I’m this old I realise how good I was.. and that we can all be good just at competitions there always has to be a someone who’s titled a winner..
Today you are speaking to me wow I was never ready😥I am constantly trying to find something to make me happy I am not a moments person I don't live in the moment.I recently received confirmation that I finished my degree that took me years but I'm already looking forward to the next one.
I now ask myself if I am making the most of the moment I am in. I believe that if that if I make the most of what God has given me now, then He will take care of the future and if today is my last day on earth, then I will die knowing that I did the most with what I was given. Brilliant topic as always guys. You two are incredibly wise!
This is such an introspective installment. I need to take it all in, there are so many gems of wisdom to ponder over. For now, I need to be clear about the systems in my life, there's a lot of clutter in my daily routine and I need more structure. Thank you for this, my faves.
Oh my word!!!! What a timeous word because in my season, my only prayer was to enjoy the present and being actually present in the interim. We're often duked that the next phase I'd freer and better when it comes with its stressors, thank you !!!!!
Thank you so much to the Makhs for the Shout-Out. What a pleasant surprise. You guys are heaven-sent. More blessings. More wisdom. More victories. Your love and affection and intimacy is such an anointed ministry. May the LORD continue to shine His countenance upon you and yours and elevate you from glory to glory. Danko!
Haven't finish the video yet but yey I needed this😪😪😪 like I really needed it. Let me start being present , let me enjoy this moment. Yhin ndazincisha injabulo 😂
U guyz I love u, your topics and how u articulate things fascinates me. U both intellectuals, never come across such young couple soo gifted and u r honest without any ego, u just real. May God keep u and guide u always.
Awww you guys are so speaking to my heart.......😢 .I don't even have words. Especially having the day I had. Thank you for reminding me of what it's important. 💖
This is so me, I just had an anxiety attack this morning and I thought I was going to die. I cannot live in the moment, I always worry about the next thing or what going to happen next.
Hey love, I am currently working on this and reading the book of Joshua in the bible helped me so much. Although the Israelites got into the promised land, they still had challenges.
I made a conscious decision during level 5 lockdown that I'm done with destination addiction. I now have to be super intentional because I live with anxiety disorder so whenever the idea to worry about when and how I immediately remind myself that I made a promise to live in the now and enjoy it regardless.
James Clear in his book Atomic Habits said that " We don't rise to the level of our goals but we rise to the level of our systems" I totally agree with you Mr Makhs!!Systems are important!
Always great words here We have to remember also that God is with us in the highs and the lows. Things, and people should not be the source of who we are , it’s God our Father is our source . We should take a moment to enjoy each day . Also the language that you both speak, May I ask is it African? As I am currently learning basic words , right now. Blessings
Can't actually express in words just how much appreciated this instalment. I've been feeling like I've been stuck in a rut. Almost lacking a sense of fulfilment in life. But as of late, I've been making an effort to shift my perspective in how I choose to view this season. Thank you so much for this Makhs!!
Self joy of how you have come to grow with God mentally and rmotionally and regardless of the things you haven't yet grown past but you are still joful because you have God in your life who is your daily drug of joy
I downloaded this episode when it came out and didn't watch it till today, funny thing is in the morning I prayed that God thank you for the now. Not what I hope for but for this daily bread and this episode, affirmed that. Thank you the Makhs. Modimo a le godise ❤️
Thank you for this thought provoking conversation. You both present good points hey. @Phetola the joy of the Lord is my strength. The Great I AM loves you
@@TheMakhs thank you for the wonderful work you guys are doing I am new in your channel loving it, been binge watching your previous installment and love it 😘🙏
So so profound 🙌. Living in the moment is so important because even thinking about the next thing brings so much anxienty and robs one of the "here and now". Life is beautiful, we should complicate it less 💞
Amen Ntate we often plan for tomorrow and forget to enjoy the current moment. It’s like saying I’m not gonna forgive people that hurts me....most people rather mute and move out of their lives. Not knowing that God might His child back to him anytime soon....before one knows it they will be living with regrets . Of why didn’t I apologize when I take time but no They chose to mute and move on with life. How sad is that but it’s the reality most people live thinking that there is a tomorrow.
I love love love this - actually resonates with what I'm currently going through. It is about the journey and being present within your personal journey! For me - it's about perspective... Ai.. we are LEARNING! Thanks guys
Thank you for such quality content especially this....muchly needed for the time we live in now. Being a fresh graduate there's so much anxiety almost in every part of my life to deal with everday. This has brought me back to a sound mind. Thank you🙌🏾🤗❤❤
Profound. I'm still watching by the way but I couldn't wait to finish watching the whole video to say Thank you. Very important instalment. You guys are great together.
Love the Topic as it affects Us on daily basis the desire to want more and more everyday and not appreciate the moment,reflecting on where i come from and where i am at the moment. Thanking GoD EVERDAY despite Result.
We're designed to want the next phase. Matriculate, uni, graduate, marry etc and when they don't even happen in that order you go completely off the rails
