•  I am not my colour, my skin, my parents, my community, my mistakes, my economics and/or my financial situation (status), my outside, etc.

•  I am who I want to be, and therefore, what I am is my decision, my responsibility, my choice, my dream.

•  And if I want to, I can change it through a ‘one minute’ split decision, just like that.

•  I am what I want to be.

My own Life •  Born in Worcester, about 60 km for here. •  Grew up in Economically poor, but Life rich

family; •  Frequently worked on a grape farm during

December holidays, called Kanetvlei; •  My weekly wages was R8.00; •  I promised myself that ‘when the farm goes

up for sale’, I will buy it; •  It is still a productive and successful farm, so

I have to be patience …

2. Jack Canfield's Success Principles

•  The first Success Principle in the book is

TAKE 100% RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR

LIFE!

•  No one owes you anything; you are not

entitled to a free ride at work, at home, in

school, on the playing field …whatever your

playing field may be.

3. No One Owes You As Much As You Owe Yourself

•  During my travels, I’ve been well blessed to have met people from different nationalities, cultures, races, ethnicities, and any other grouping you’d like to consider and regardless of their differences, I find nearly everyone is looking for happiness.

•  After all, what is life without a bit of happiness? •  However, another common thread seems to

be running through the lives of so many as well.

•  They’re looking to be repaid for some type of offense committed against them, real or imagined; either way they feel they’re owed something.

•  Indeed, there’s a debt to be paid or some reason to get even.

•  For some it’s their parents who couldn’t afford to buy them their first car, jacket, etc. when times were hard.

•  Still for others it may be a brother or sister or friend who offended them, knowingly or unknowingly.

•  This debt or grudge, real or perceived, is carried through life for years.

•  And over the course of years, resentment, anger, and frustration attaches itself to this debt.

•  These bitter roots spill over in other areas of their lives. •  I’m sure you know the type; the angry at the world, ill-

tempered person, who’s just a “joy” to be around.

•  Don’t ever let somebody tell you that you can’t do something.

•  Not even me. Okay. •  You got a dream. You got to protect it. •  People can’t do something themselves •  They want to tell you that you can’t do it. •  You want something. •  Got get it. Period.

4. The pursuit of happyness (2006) – Will Smith

Pursuit of Happiness video clip

5. Our deepest fear – Marianne Williamson

• Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

• Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Coach Carter video clip

•  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

•  Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

•  There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking … so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

•  We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us.

•  It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

•  And as we let our own light shine, … we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

•  As we are liberated from our own fear, … our presence automatically liberates others.
