Stand Your Truth Philosophy
Written by Mandisa Mndela
What is, that I seek?
What is, that brought this thought or conce
? It seems my mind and soul are in agreement that there is something wrong? A need to find a solution to that which brought this thought up would be a step forward in achieving the objective, in acknowledgement of the consequence of a mental toxic feed? Unless, I am to conclude that the objective is unachievable, and might as well join the ever unending exercise of debating, deliberating with no practical solution just to while away time of my existence.
I am amazed on how far of what we have ever built has led us to. How much energy we have spent supporting a system that has never served us nor had ever had any intention to do so.
We talk poverty, economic crisis, global warming, the list is endless, blanketed by a wild fire of social ills. One sits and ask oneself, how did we get here, when we all claim smartness, when we all scholars of note, when we all specialists, produced by a made up ‘system’, which is a concoction of religion, education, and politics, with its fiber extracted from the body of knowledge. Was this system designed to educate us, guide us or was it a tool to lead us to another human disaster? Who is benefitting of this? At what cost?
The consequence of this toxic feed is so evident, as we continuously witness social unrest globally. I look in wonder and in dismay on those that hold these expensive papers that are to prove the capacity of their brains, papers that validate their smartness with percentages of exemption, and ask myself who is qualified to qualify anyone?
If we hold these expensive papers claiming this smartness yet we still not cracked the formula to eliminate all the problems we face, what was all the exercise for, what are we daily educated on then? Does the cost of these papers match the result?
There is simply no polite way to tell people they have dedicated their entire lives to an illusion. Human life has become an existential horror. Until we change our thinking, we will forever recycle our experiences, spitting them right back to our innocent off-springs.
Have I found an answer to that which I seek?
As we continue to everyday witness the social ills, social unrest... nationally and beyond, in my own personal pursuit for answers, having the courage to Stand despite the viciousness of our times, where a lie has become the new truth. I found this...
A Philosopher, one who attempts to understand the worlds phenomena, the purpose of human existence, the nature of the world, and the place of human beings in it. ~ Joseph I. Omereghe (Nigerian Philosopher)
I unpack and place this finding inline with my thoughts&beliefs, (Purpose - foundation of thoughts & belief) my understanding&commitment , (Vision - a picture of those thoughts &beliefs) my writings&promises (Service - that picture of thoughts & beliefs in action/motion) which gave birth to the:

About the Author
Mandisa Mndela – Founder at Stand Your Truth, Author and a South African Native, took a Stand, and emerged as a unique voice and astute observer of the contemporary challenges which affect the parental/child dynamic.
From her own personal journey, a child of privileged to a neglected and abused youngster, a teenage mother, a failed marriage, and a successful single parent provider, Mandisa has endured and analyzed vast dimensions of life, acquiring insights which have propelled her to inhabit her role as a compelling author, life enthusiast, and an education thought leader.
Her life experiences chronicled in her 3books –
1. ”Stand” – 2012rn(Foundation)
2. ’7Letters 7Years” – 2014rn(Structure)
3. “The Dawn” – 2016rn(Roof)
Which has ultimately and uniquely positioned her to provide insights to the perplexing questions which plague the modern child-parent familial dynamic.
All of which has culminated in the creation of the curriculum and platform that bears human experience.
Moved by the displacement of our age, the lack of sense of worth and purpose of our young people, it has become clear that in addition to the standard educational curriculum, there has been a corresponding need for inner/emotive curriculum which seeks to inform, strengthen the health and fitness of students in their imagination and self-esteem. ‘’ says Mandisa
With more and more well-meaning parents stymied by the challenging workplace/career demands required to provide the child/student with shelter/food/clothing/education fees, there is often little time and energy left for parents to adequately address the needs of the child/students other developmental intangibles.
In turn, Stand Your Truth provides an organized mechanism through which this critical life developmental void may be addressed.
As a public speaker, Mandisa talks of what she believes are the three-tiers of self-realization,
Purpose.
Vision.
Service.
Given the priorities of modern society, sometimes this is easier said than done.
In the guise of her alter-ego, a mezzo-soprano, violinist, Mandisa has appeared on numerous occasions on the world stage, performing.
“I find it a good metaphor for my life thus far, “says Mandisa.
“We all have a unique voice inside of us which we have to find an outlet for. When we are born we are not given a manual to life, so it is really trial and error but if you stand your truth, lean on your purpose as you build on your aspirations in contribution to this world in service, then, you can be fulfilled.”
