It is quite a simple question with a simple answer. But your name. It should not just be words and letters you call out. Your name should be your pride; it should be your invincible crown. It should be your unseen gown. Wear it with Respect.

Of course! You are given your name when you are born. But it is up to you to create your name. You have to do something! We don’t just call the names of Albert Einstein or Nelson Mandela for nothing. The names already speak for themselves; no need to ask! I can quickly say Sindi Dlathu, and you can instantly remember your TV. That is because names are created, not given.

The name does not necessarily have to be Negative or Positive; as far as I can call out your favourite actors’ names, I can call out “Pablo Escobar”. If you are familiar with him, your brain will instantly direct you to drugs, aeroplanes and stuff!

And let me ask again: What is your name? You can be Francinah or Nomcebo; you can be Albertina or Lucy; you can be Lebo or Sizwe; your name will speak for itself! Your actions are your identity; your identity is your destiny, and your destiny is your life! And your life is your name.

Sometimes, just sit down and ask yourself! “what is my name?”. And you might get your answer.

What is Your Name?
