It will all be okay.

A few months from now, you'll look back at this moment and realise that you worried way too much. You'll realise that the universe always had your back. You'll realise that everything worked out with so much perfection. You'll realise that you are braver than you ever knew, stronger than you ever seemed, smarter than you ever perceived and loved more than you understood.

It's all coming together.

Take a deep breath, let your shoulders relax and unclench your jaw. You don't need to worry anymore. You are fully supported.

Now read that all again.

Monday should be a day to be enthusiastic and to appreciate how we are blessed to have another week and another day of life, no matter how awesome the weekend was.

You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.

So today - this Monday - I am in charge of how I feel, and I am choosing happiness! Also, Joburg is in its second last cold front before we get our "9 months" of summer and that makes me VERY happy!

Remember that your Monday morning thoughts set the tone for your whole week. See yourself getting stronger and living a fulfilling, happier and healthier life.

Wishing you only good things!

Some were small things (which are actually the biggest things) like hugging my parents, or going to the movies, or putting down that damn packet of salt and vinegar chips… or one day being able to throw our annual Halloween party again. Others were bigger, things that were so out of reach that, at times, felt almost impossible. Like I would never get to actually see them through. Visit Madikwe - one of my favourite places in the world. Have a pool day at "The Glen" in Cape Town. Go to the beach again and wee in the sea. Travel to another country. Run the New York City Marathon. Have a positive impact on the world. Write a book. See my bestie in Scotland. Play in the snow. Conquer my fears. Watch Dear Evan Hansen on stage. ]]> Self-Improvement Fri, 05 Aug 2022 00:42:00 +0200 0 0 Dear Evan Hansen 0 0 Brent Lindeque full 3:35 Okay. Love you.

This is, of course, not true. The bee is perfectly made, but the lesson here is that we impose impossibilities on ourselves when in fact, I think that nothing is impossible when you want to fulfil a dream.

A lot of people will tell you that you can't do it, that you don't have what it takes, but if it is in your heart and you feel it, there is nothing that will stop you. It is like the sun - you can try to block it, but it will shine regardless.

So here's hoping you have a day filled with good things and loads of possibilities (even when they might look like impossibilities).

That's it. Happy Today!

The show paints grief in such an ugly way. Exactly like it is. Just disgusting.

It’s been 11 years since I lost my dad and my relentless grief impacts everyone around me, all the time. I am so sorry that my sadness rears its ugly head, often.

I tweeted that, and then the magic of social media took over (the good side - cause there is one).

Austin Winsberg - the man who created the series, replied to my tweet. I woke up to this: "Sorry for both our losses. F*** this shitty club."

Jeepers, the man who created and produced a global award-winning series TWEETED ME LAST NIGHT, but more than the coolness of that was the sincerity of what he said.

Because the first rule of fight club, is we don’t talk about it.

I’ve received a couple of private messages asking for my advice on how to be happier. How to have a more positive outlook or how to find joy and light in the darkest of places.
