Choice to Reckon


Welcome to another brand new year! I know there are times in life that you feel as though you can't do anything right and you never seem to be able to please anyone and everyone around you seem to always go against you. You may feel stupid, unworthy, and even unloved.
These feelings may lead you to hate yourself or those around you. Hate leads to nothing but pain. Pain only causes more pain and nothing good comes of it. At some point in life, I started to notice others judging me. I discovered not everyone liked me and that some individuals felt the need to express this dislike not only to me, but to everyone around me.
This action makes me feel bad about myself and to others too and we respond by judging them back. This defense mechanism took hold of our lives and became habit. We took this habit and made it such a part of our being that now we find it very difficult to separate this from who we are.
Our anger at others can be so great and our habit of getting back at others so strong, that we end up lashing out with hatred and judgment toward others. Little by little, we slowly lose who we truly are. Over time we become more and more miserable and full of pain and despair.
Well, we must first love and then forgive ourselves. Nothing can replace self-love and forgiveness. If we cannot love or forgive ourselves, how can we possibly forgive others?
The bible teaches us about the Lord's prayer and where He said: "..And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us..." It will take a conscious effort to forgive. Just as with any habit, we must force ourselves out of the negative behaviours. As we begin to forgive wrong doings or things we’ve done, we will find the strength to forgive others. One builds upon the other until instead of judging, forgiveness must become our new habit.
Stay blessed and dont forget to be a Royal in any arena.

Tractafric Motors: Ford Ranger takes top honours

The Ford Ranger has received the highest award for quality in the midsize pickup segment in the US; according to the 2020 JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) report. The Initial Quality Study, now in its 34th year, is based on responses from 87,282 purchasers and lessees of new 2020 model year vehicles in the US who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study took place from February through to May 2020. The JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) takes an updated look at the problems owners are having with their new vehicles, including those related to new technologies. The study, redesigned this year, measures components that fail and features that are difficult to use, hard to understand or don’t work the way owners want. Initial quality is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. “The Initial Quality Study is the industry benchmark for new-vehicle quality and, year after year, automakers app...

Redesigned Nissan logo signals a fresh horizon

Image
How the badge’s physical identity was adapted for the digital world We are more connected than ever before. People are growing up with the access to knowledge and the potential for interaction that the internet offers. Our lives are as much digital as they are physical. Hence strong brands need to have effective touchpoints in both realms. For the past 20 years, Nissan’s outgoing logo has been a beacon on its vehicles and so much more. It has served as an identity, a business card, a handshake and the first greeting between customers and the driving excitement that Nissan vehicles provide. For decades more, Nissan’s logo has stayed true to a belief held by its founder Yoshisuke Aikawa, “Shisei tenjitsu o tsuranuku,” which he interpreted to mean, “If you have a strong belief, it penetrates even the sun.” While keeping this essence alive, Nissan’s new “calling card” reflects the significant changes in society over the last two decades. It is a reimagination of the iconic Nissan bra...
