What is the point of being alive if you do not at least try to do something remarkable? Failure is probably one of the aspects in life most people are afraid of. But, failure is inevitable and an important part of your growth and developing resilience. It is through failure that you learn more about your personality, strengths, weaknesses; and what you like or don’t. How society defines failure is usually very distorted and a misrepresentation of reality. It is usually associated with non-verbalised social expectations.  Failing to understand that, failure drives change and innovation.

Remember: You are smart, beautiful, capable and dynamite waiting to explode!!! Yes you. Reclaim your inner self. I was inspired by Robin Sharma ~ author of "The 5 AM Club"

As I reflect …. Why did I start this blog site? Is there an audience for it?  My inner voice responded: Sweetheart, you have experienced life. The good and the bad.  People around you are going through life.  We all have a story to tell. Narrate yours and those of around you. For the “ Child of the African Soil ”, we choose to heal and inform through words, experiences and lessons.

Prioritise your goals and live to achieve them.  Happiness must come from within.  Set your standards and never (ever!!!) lower them for anyone or to accommodate anyone.
