Gowing With The Flow
Gowing With The Flow...Umgowo - A Xhosa term used to tell someone that you are going through the most.Variations: mgowo, gowa, gowisha, gowishing.As adults so hlezi si gowa (we will always go through something). Reminds me of a line in the movie The Colour Purple where ’Sofia” says “All my life I’ve had to fight…” It is as though for every birthday, every milestone we reach, there is a test around the corner that we must “gowa” through. Gowing With The Flow which can also be read as “Growing/Going With The Flow” is a series of my life’s journey, the journey of my family, friends and my listeners as we Gowisha (going) With The Flow; experiencing life’s up and downs, wins, twists and turns and moments of “WTF is go(w)ing on”. This is a platform where umgowo is affirmed and embraced. As much as nawe ugowa, sonke siya gowisha on some level in our lives. Look closely at the words “Going Through”, which it’s synonyms are: accomplishing, committing, completing, undergoing, experiencing, enduring… the list goes on. What does it mean for you? My personal interpretation is, we are not buried in the circumstances we find ourselves, whatever happens, we will always come out on the other side. Let it also remind you that you are not alone. That You are loved, you are love and your are worthy. And come hell or high water, we will get through it. Nomakanjani.

It's a new year, lets be clear about our intentions for the year and be ready to put in the work to achieve our goals. The book of Habbakuk assures us that when we right our visions clearly, they will surely happen. So, for 2024 what do you want for yourself? What type of life do you want to lead? What type of opportunities do you want to attract? What are you willing to let go of so that a better version of you is born?
Set your intentions clear and be bold enough to walk in the direction of your dreams, most importantly, in the direction of God's path for your life.
I hope you enjoy the episode and take lessons from it.
Love,
Pholoso
