Where to from here? The Desert

There is no hope in the horizon. Engulfed in despair it’s easy to give in. However with the right attitude you CAN change ANY situation to your favour. It is the 3rd month of the year; very soon it will come to a close and with it perhaps you will be the shutting down your goals. You think, “What’s the point?” You have done all you could to materialize your dream; you have exhausted all avenues within your reach. You feel you are at a dead end.

But what’s the point of giving up. What is the point of not doing anything? You do have a choice and the right decision is to keep at it. It does not matter if the sky may be grey for you. You might not have been born with a silver spoon in your mouth or with opportunities at your disposal.

At your bleakest moment just remember, that the majority of millionaires and billionaires in the world are self made. Just like you and me they were once in your shoes. They struggled to pay their bills, some lost their homes and most were made redundant and looking for a way to survive they plunged in the challenge of starting their own companies.

I am reminded of a story that was published a while ago in South Africa. About a young man and his young brother forced by the ongoing war in their home country which claimed the lives of most of his family member’s, they journeyed from the Northern parts of Africa, by foot – to South Africa.

The Detox - Day 5:-))

Yes, I have changed the title of these entries to "The Detox", cause I have run out of maple syrup today.  So how can it be a master cleanse without the lemonade drink, right?  I already feel GREAT!  Even though I didn't really stick to it to the tee.  I'm still proud of myself for being determined into detoxing, cutting off certain foods and not eating carby foods after 6pm. I have already started seeing the effects of my effort.  My size 10 skirts still don't fit yet, but mentally I'm feeling superb.  I never thought I could not eat anything without a carb, especially my beloved bread.  But I have hung in there.  I was doing my shopping the other day and eyes lingered on the frozen fries section.  However because I have a goal, I will abstain from all unnecessary fattening foods and I will stick to the rules of the Anna Richardsons, Body Blitz: 1.  No wheat (cakes, pastries etc.), 2. No Diary (apart from the ...

Good bye 2015

I am. The most powerful  two words. Simple but powerful. As the year Draws to a close. Some are in the spirit of the festivities. Others are mourning dreams that have died, feeling like failures because they didn't accomplish their goals.  And some others are in the sombre mood of contemplation. Processing the year gone by. And planning the year ahead. Looking at the past and learning from all the experiences rather than tearing yourself down because things didn't go your way is not the healthy route to take. As the last hours of 2015 tick by. Lets reflect, let's plan, and let's decide to take action in 2016. It begins with one step. A good idea and great plans lie dormant when action is not taking the lead. I read and heard this saying or a variation  of it. And it truly makes sense especially at this turning point. "There are no wrong dreams and plans. But there are incorrect deadlines." So those plans that didn't quiet take shape this year or the y...
