* Our government showing who is in charge in response to the SANDF soldier's recent strike.
The striking soldiers had tried to storm the Union Buildings - President Jacob Zuma's residence in Pretoria - in a protest over their 'low' salaries. But they were repelled by the police with teargas. This firm response by the government was reassuring. Any form of lawlessness has to be nipped in the bud. The soldiers can go on strike if they want to, but the burning of cars etc..was uncalled for.
This same strong show of force was promised by the Premier of Gauteng - Nomvula Mokonyane - to the taxi owners who were planning to disrupt the launch of the Bus Rapid Transport system this coming week.
We applaud this tough stance on lawlessness by the government. As citizens of Mzansi we need to feel that we are not at a mercy of elements who want to have their way by force.
* Reading about what the Barcelona coach - Pep Guardiola - told his players before the Champion's League final against Manchester United earlier this year. He was quoted in a soccer magazine called CHAMPIONS( August/September issue). In an article entitled 'Veni,Vidi,Vici.' by Paul Simpson, Guardiola was said to have told his players to be daring during the game:
" We wanted to say we played and were not being cowards.
There is nothing more dangerous than not taking risks."
I found this pep talk about taking risks very inspirational indeed. And from the way Barcelona defeated Man U, his players must indeed have heeded the coach's advice. Barcelona not only scored goals( 2 to Man U's 0), but they entertained us also.
How many risks do we take in our own personal lives in order to get ahead?
* The arrival of the Feel Good Movement t-shirts this past Friday. These t's were done for us by a company called MBOTANE BUSINESSS SERVICES that specializes in branded corporate wear and gifts. It is a company owned by a lady called Jabu Mabaso.
Needless to say, we are hugely excited here in The FGM. Our message of spreading the good news in our lives has just received another broadcast channel. The Feel Good Revolution can now spread its wings far and wide.
"Much, much love to you Ausi Jabu."
THANK YOU UNIVERSE. THANK YOU FOR OUR 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the week:
Safe In Your Arms
_______________
When the earth is shaking.
When the ground we walk on trembles.
We want to feel safe.
Safe in your arms Goromente.
When it is cold.
When it is chilly outside.
We need to know that you are there.
That you are there for us Goromente.
When lawlessness, greed and corruption threaten.
When they threaten to overwhelm us.
We need your shield.
We need your protection.
Tell us that the law will take its course
And indeed it must.
So far so good Goromente.
We feel safe.
Safe in your arms.
