Three life lessons that 2014 has taught me.

December 16, 2014Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Year End Message of Gratitude.

There are so many things I have learned in 2014, that began with the creation of Migrant Woman Ltd in January, leading to the first magazine being published in April. It has been a challenge but a lot of fun as well, which has helped me to grow and develop my abilities to connect and co-operate with others. There are three main lessons that 2014 has taught me and I would like to share them with you.

Don’t compare with others

It is believed that what makes us unhappy are not the deficiencies we have but the comparisons we make with others. Who has this illusion that life should be entirely fair? Focus on the blessings of life itself and avoid the chronic comparisons of ourselves with the luck of others, which are not useful at all. In my workshops, I often like to share my life motto: “Do not feel inferior to others, do not feel superior to others; just make yourself feel better then yesterday.”

Detach from loving things

To separate from a place, a partner or from a boring job are important actions in our life, especially when they are included in our list of priorities. They give meaning to our world. When we flip the page of an individual ‘chapter’ a new chapter immediately starts in life and at such significant turning points are bound to cause strong feelings and emotions. Often life does not give us what we want, but what is needed. It is never easy to negotiate with the ‘end’. However, when it is not possible to improve a situation, perhaps it is time to stop it. Our life journey includes experiences, places, people, events, and thoughts that we inevitably leave behind to undertake new opportunities.

Forgive and let it go

In life, we meet people that may hurt us. It is likely that we will meet them again. Deep inside us it is normal to feel rage and anger boiling. And often these thoughts that can boil inside give us the intricate feelings and the links of our life. Anger does not improve our life at all. This is why we must resist the tendency to be fed with negative feelings, which are heavy burdens for our mind. Forgive and let it go…

Thank you for your support in 2014 and please continue to spread the word for 2015 to build on and grow this wonderful community of inspirational women from so many cultures and backgrounds.

14/50 Ask Sara about A Parents Message to Kids for this Festive Season

December 12, 2014December 9, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ask Sara with Sara Troy Aired December 16th on

I started out like every human does — a child, small and unknowing, unaware of all that life would ask of me. My environment and the intentions of my family shaped me. Many dreams were placed upon me, yet not much was truly expected of me. I learned to wish for a life I didn’t believe I could reach, to want things I was told I’d never become.

My desires didn’t match my confidence, and my self-worth sat too low to reach for the stars. This isn’t a “woe is me” story — it’s a familiar one, lived by far too many. The dysfunctional raise the next generation in a world that is, itself, dysfunctional.

Television shows us the ideal family — the picture-perfect standard we’re told to uphold.

But in whose world?
By whose evaluation?
And why do we believe that perfection is the norm?

We cling to the idea that there is one correct foundation for family and life — but who defined that standard? What does normal even mean, and who gets to apply that label?

If a child is loved, fed, housed, and nurtured — if they are seen, valued, and given time — is that not the true definition of family wholeness?

We are all flawed. No one escapes that. But flaws do not make us bad. Life is a classroom, and learning is the curriculum — not living up to someone’s unrealistic expectations, but living by the guidance of one’s own conscience.

Each generation hopes the next will learn better, grow wiser, and rise beyond the mistakes of the past. We forget that everyone is a student in the classroom of life — learning in different ways, through different experiences.

It’s easy to judge our parents for what they didn’t do right.
Harder to thank them for doing the best they could with what they knew.

So, children — be patient with us, as we have been with you. We know how hard growing up is… we’ve done it too. We know how exhausting constant change can be — because life keeps rewriting the rules.

That’s why I say:
Live by your conscience.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Choose optimism even when the odds seem stacked against you.

And always remember:
If you believe it — the sun will rise again tomorrow.

This Christmas go out of your way to let your parents know that you appreciate what they have done and have tried to do for you. After all, odds will be that one day you too will be a parent and all you will wish for, is your own children’s happiness, safety, health, and personal abundance. Hopefully, they will be appreciated what you did for them.

I wish you Joy, Laughter, Love, and Peace to one and all over the world this Festive Joyous Season.

Remember saying ‘Thank You’ can work miracles.

Merry Christmas & have a Mamarvellous New Year.

A Parent’s Love –

Airing December 16th-22nd on Inspiring South Africans with Heather de Wit and her musical guest PJ Powers who was voted one of the top 10 people brands in South Africa in 2011 and her musical career has spanned well over 3 decades and crosses all barriers of both age and race.

Famous since the 80’s, when her band “Hotline” was the largest selling band in South Africa, PJ’s solo career has contained many highlights and she has recorded 16 albums and has just released her latest CD ‘Destiny’.

Her book ‘Here I am’ is out.

PJ has sung with many of the greats – to name a few : Miriam Makeba, Margaret Singana, Steve Kekana, Hugh Masekela, Eric Clapton, Joan Armitrading and Harry Belafonte.

Some of PJ’s Madiba Moments

PJ’s greatest highlight she says, was receiving a letter from Nelson Mandela in 1989, when he was in Victor Verster prison and it is still one of her most treasured possessions.
She was asked to sing the “World In Union” in 1995 byMadiba, when South Africa won the Rugby World Cup and this song was featured in 2009 in the Academy Award-nominated film “Invictus”, which tells the story of this event.
PJ also sang at the inauguration of Mandela as the first democratic President.
Tata honored her again, by asking her to write a special song for his 85th birthday, which she says is still one of her favourite songs and which she sang in front of a celebrity filled room including Oprah, Robert de Niro, The Corrs, Peter Gabriel and the Clinton’s amongst many others.

In the 80?s PJ was named Thandeka, “the Loved One” by the people of Soweto, when she sang one of her biggest hits, “Jabulani” at the Soweto stadium.
