Terror upon Paris

It all began as a normal day would for most poeple living in Paris, France. Nothing better than starting the day with a warm cup of Coffee or cupacino in the morning and a broad smile on your face with so much to be gratefull for.

Until friday night where a state of emergency was declared by the Paris police force after several waves of bombings took place in order to find the gunmen and the suicide bombers that cause so much heartache and pain in so many houses leaving the ones heartbroken that stayed behind.

When will this madness end, when will this world become a better place, I am Optimistic about it. All we can do is Pray, hope and believe that all of this madness would end someday.

Live everyday as your last, as will never know what tomorrow might deliver to your doorstep.

Meanwhile in South Africa…

Well, we have always been the country that turns down the things that meant the most to us… It is a chilled out country taking everything as a joke, and making it more funny than what it actualy appears to be.

We are a unique country, with people that has the abillity to do extradinary things, things that will never be done by people in other countries. Thats a good thing.

Then again, the world were invited to a party and South Africa said “Yes, we will go, but you guys can leave so long we going to take a detour, we will meet you there…” then thats where the magic happens… 🙂

We are going places…. Just don’t think it’s nessesarily the right places, but atleast we are moving doesn’t matter if it’s backwards.

Can’t do anything else but to love this country.

Reaching for the STARS- Spectacular Finish.

It feels like  have been gone for to long, well I guess thats what people do when they are on holiday- Cut off from Society…

I have been in the outskirts of the Gauteng province lately, and I have to say it was Spectacular. I have had the chance not many people have and that is to sit down with various people that possses various cultures. It’s something you can’t discribe, but I am going to try anyway.

Everyday we are scared to try something new, to get off the couch and stand outside for a little while to admire the small warm summer’s breeze blowing outside. We, and here I am not just talking about myself I am talking about Society in general, unless we step outside of our comfort zone we will never start living, but instead we will only be making a Life.

As I learned different cultures I realised something different about all of them, like for instance Indians like to feed people, you will never visit an Indian’s house and they only cooked enough, never… They always cook for an extra person incase he/she arives. Then you get the Afrikaans culture where they cook just enough for themselves, and the african Culture that… Well thats not important…(Smiling)

We are so comfortable in living in our small little world that we don’t care what other people think or do….

Get out there and do yourself a favour, learn other cultures, learn a few words in their language, you will be surprised on how much respect is given if the time is put aside to learn those things about them.

Go out of you comfort zone , Look at the Stars and thank The Lord for another day for you to learn those exeptional things about other people.

Traveling for all the right reasons… #WingIt

Good morning friends, and ofcourse family. I felt very alone recently as I sat down on a garden chair(You know those ones that hurts your butt) but at that moment you don’t want to get up or do anything because it feels as if you are a million miles away.

As I sat that there staring at the stars that were basking in it’s own sunlight, minding their own business and there I am think about how aliens would of looked like(that is if they actualy do exist) and then a thought came to me, I never knew what I wanted to do, or where I wanted to be in life. That is one scary thought because most people knows exactly.

Then it came to me like a wrecking ball. I want to travel, I’ve always had the passion to meet new people and try new stuff, like for instance new cuisine and differenct cultures from diffefenct countries. Traveling takes an ordinary person an converts them in a natural born storyteller. My dream is to travel to New York City and perticipate in an Flash-mob.- Believe me I will achieve that dream! Do you know why? Nevermind I’ll tell you anyway. I am that kind of person that will not stop untill I get what I wanted deep down, and with that I have a laser sight on my goals with a Relentless focus on execution.

It all comes down to this, if you want something, and you are hungry enough! Go and get it and don’t let anyone stand in your way. In the end you feel proud for achieving your goals.

Good Luck.
