Little Falls author talks about the power of the mind
Dingaan was raised in Limpopo in a village called Itielene and while growing up his duties included herding his father’s cattle.
Being a published author is an exciting dream come true for so many people, and it’s an accomplishment to be proud of. Just like being a librarian, there’s more to it than people realise.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a writer, then Little Falls based author and life coach Dingaan Rahlapane who started writing during the 2020 hard lockdown would be the right person to talk to.
Dingaan said writing his book came naturally as he wanted to include the things he taught during coaching sessions.
“The book is a way of raising people’s consciousness in terms of controlling and directing their mindset, and also mastering their emotions. I am quite aware that the programme called ‘Indomitable mindset’ may not reach as many people as the book can, and hence the idea of writing the book,” said Dingaan.
He currently conducts free Thursday mindset sessions on a weekly basis, and also runs the ‘Indomitable mindset’ programme on a monthly basis.
When asked about his interest in writing, he revealed that he has always loved reading.
In his early years Dingaan had a very large collection of magazines such as Die Wit Tier, Cosmopolitan, Page, and Kick-off.
This helped to improve his reading, and he used to score 98%–100% for English tests at school.
Dingaan was raised in Limpopo in a village called Itielene and while growing up his duties included herding his father’s cattle.
He attended primary school in the same village but had to travel nearly 6km to attend Maruatona High School in Senwamokgope Township.
“I has my tertiary education at institutions such as Wits and Unisa but in the past six years I felt there was something I needed to do that could help people live a better life, frequently asking myself if there was more to life than working in a job. I think this was accelerated after I had read a book by Myles Munroe about understanding your potential, and the search for meaning intensified,” said Dingaan.
In 2011 he was involved in a car accident. He broke his femur and had to undergo surgery.
After this accident Dingaan finally understood his calling for life coaching. He did the required training and became a certified life coach in 2015.
“I would really encourage people to please attend these free sessions which are conducted virtually on Zoom because the more people realise their potential power, the better our society will become,” said Dingaan.
