Who am I???

For most of my friends and family I am the “mal enetjie”. (Adrenalin Junkie)

So if you want to know who I am, please follow my words and find out. Let me put it this way – from childhood I had a passion for adrenaline driven sport. I had my first Go-Cart when I just started to walk (my pram was converted to a Go-Cart with a Husqvarna power saw motor) thanks to my super dad. I had the privilege of growing up with a dad who involved me in activities such as building, breaking and modifying all machine driven items on the yard.

Throughout my life I’ve done some 4x4 driving, bungee jumped off the bridge at Vic Falls as well as some lekka water sports.

I am the proud father of 2 handsome little fellas. I love my two boys with everything and want to do the same for them that my super dad did for me… be a role model that they can look up to. I am a loving and caring person who loves to help other people and motivate them in accomplishing what they dream about. There isn’t much in this world that could de-motivate me. I strive to see the positive in any situation no matter how bad it seems. “Just know, when you truly want success, you’ll never give up on it. No matter how bad the situation may get”.

We all make mistakes somewhere in our lives but the real effort comes into standing up from your fallen position. The lesson that I have learnt from my mistakes are that I must accept responsibility for my own life. Know that it is only me who will get myself where I want to go. And where I want to go is where my Father aims my heart and mind to go. That is my true focus in life and by following my Father’s plan for my life will get me much further than I can ever get on my own.

I started this Blog to show the world that any normal person who has a dream and the set desire could fulfil it, no matter what life throws at you. We are in control of our desires and set our own rules on getting that satisfaction within the framework of our believes. I only have one theory “you only have one live, why not live it to the fullest with the ability granted to you” we all have certain abilities (blessings) granted to us, why waste it?

I am a self driven individual who likes to work independently.. I believe that I am destined for so much more in life to come for destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

I think that describes me for who I am, jippppie. Now my fingers need a rest. LOL
