With the instant impact of my skeletal structure to the damp concrete ground, followed by a shattering aching silence I had ever experienced in my life. I had just fallen from my motor bike soon after leaving the Midrand Gautrain station on the way home from work.

I realised that, only I was the only who had to decide how I responded to the cards that I was dealt.
It did not take long until I started seeing myself quitting my 8-year long career to start a non-profit organisation, I started writing again, I relocated back to my home town, learning the traits of training and facilitating young adults whose shoes I had once filled at a time I was a learner there – once upon a time.
Dear friends and loved ones, where you choose to invest your life is without a doubt up to you.
Believe that it can happen for you, trust that you can have that friendship, you can drive that car and own your very own designer brand, that is your purpose lies there.
Your life and your happiness are solely your responsibility. You have to start by envisioning yourself, you must see yourself doing what you love, having what you have never had, followed by a belief that it is possible for you!
