Everybody is going through a tough time.

It costs nothing to be kind.
To be authentically concerned.
To be giving.
To be open.
To be courteous.
To be HUMAN.

I have long maintained that Social media is not the problem. People use social media with the wrong intent. And our societies have made it cool to be an asshole.

Society has taken bullying, change its wardrobe, and called it “dragging”.
Society has taken abuse, put red lipstick on it, and then called it being “woke”.

I was raised to believe:

You can raise your voice without being unkind.
You can correct someone without being rude.
You can teach someone without reducing them & stripping of their humanity.

Before you comment on how important mental health is (and to be clear, it absolutely is important), just check your own timeline & make sure you’re not the one attacking, ridiculing, or insulting people.

Some of you are the reason somebody right now is on their knees praying for strength.

Again, don’t be an asshole.

Just. Be. Kind.

Thanks Vusi, it's Emmanuel from Nigeria. I've been in a very dark place recently... I've felt as though I'm trapped in the loop of addiction for some years, actually for the most of My LIFE... Almost felt like giving Myself over to My addictions and not try to overcome them, but somehow I'm reminded that the story of My journey through addiction to freedom will help someone overcome their addiction one day...

Every one is struggling with something, Our victory gives hope to another... Let's Keep PUSHING... Our future is GREATER and BETTER than We can imagine.

❤️

This is very deep Vusi. I battled mental health in 2020 and when I met with the Lord Jesus, I was completely renewed. One of the things I realised was that it is often easier to tear down something than to build it up.
Building up takes alot. It's no wonder it could take you months to build a house and only a day to tear it down.
We need to be people that build others up.
Thank you and God bless you @Vusi Thembwekwayo

I was driving around DELFT township when a YouTube notification popped by titled " What it means to be a human" . My jaw dropped and my eyes popped out and i immediately pulled over and parked the car aside, and i made sure that i I'm listening through my aux cable for maximum attention. I listened to every word, every punchline, every joke...I even know that Mavusana mentioned shit twice consecutively right, but never mind that...I relate about Hlayi's untimely death as well. I also lost a friend in high school with a similar personality as Hlayi. So yeah i relate. So i can confidently confirm to my self after listening to this ... I know what it means to be human...😭😭😭😭😭😭

I love you man

This is such a timely message that hits so hard. Just this week, my childhood friend was found locked up in his room kneeling in a praying position dead, also suicide. So many regrets. But it unlocks a greater desire to just be kind and lend a helping hand, even to those around us who seem the strongest. Thank You Doyen Vusi. From Ghana🙏🏼

[leratomoepya]

Truly powerful. At this point in time I think we all needed to hear this. Thanks Vusi!!

[sphilelegule]

[opeserah]

This moved me to tears 🥺.. I felt this in my soul, I can’t thank you enough VT, God bless you ❤️

[phembumuzireginaldmthembu]

These words are really help in my situation right now. Dude it is not easy out here and I have tried so much and this is the serious issue, it is hard when everyone departed from me because I never make it as they are, it is not easy to try something that crushes from the beginning, it is hard to live with fear of insult by people I went ask for favors so I could buy some time to live. such is not easy when everything I eat in the room is borrowed and most of all it is not easy to be expected to talk positive staff to people yet I am breaking apart. Thank you Mfethu

This is life!!!
Lost my husband a year ago...one of the things that keep my mind at peace always is that..I was HUMAN to and with him. My dad passed about 8months after hubby...my solace is that I was HUMAN to and with him. Half the time my thoughts wander and I think of the "what ifs"...but at the end of the day nothing can be undone.
This video just revalidate my line of thought while ousting for me to be the best of me to everyone that comes across me.
Thank you Vusi!!!

[manelisivictor]

I couldn't even finish watching as I felt like you were speaking to me and I broke down into tears😭 Thank you for this video 🙏

[chwayitaramaphosa]

Oh Wow….this is so so true, so touching. For a moment there I thought I was listening to a sermon, I felt like I was in church❤️💯😊🙏

[ActionCOACHSA]

Your kindness today could be the reason someone has renewed hope and motivation to carry on.
Be kind, it's the new TREND. 😊

[pusetsomorapedi]

We do need to get right with ourselves, and it is getting right with our Creator that we get the true North to ourselves. Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. 🙏

[jaredonyango]

As my best friend and my confidant always say, ' whatever happens, I'm always with you.' This phrase has been my mantra and that's all we need. You may have just saved a life Be blessed.

[robertmawanda]
