I wanna date a hot divorced woman/bae





Ok… So most of you reading the title were probably on some “what the fuck is this guy talking about?!!” hahaha I don’t blame you but let me state my case before you mentally crucify me ok?!Thank you…

*clears throat*

So ok, I’m 26 now, single, busy, on the move and fucking loving every minor detail of this madness we call existence or reality. I mean shit! How is amazing is this place and the fact that I exist! Like I’m fucking here with all this beauty and uncertainty that surrounds me on a daily and wow! Sure most people hate life and stuff but I’ve seen that it’s a matter of perspective but ANYWAY that’s not why you are here is it? So let me get straight to the point.

So I look back at the past 6/7 years of my life and think back to university life and all the craziness that went into it. I think back to all the amazing girls I had the privilege of meeting and “interacting” with and I think wow, how amazing were they. I hardly speak to anyone of them now sadly enough. No, they’re probably all over me now, getting their life together, met new guys and preparing for the marriage and the kids thing (Drake – Club Paradise). Some of them already have kids and I think I should use this moment to publicly congratulate them for whatever positive fruits their lives have bared. I never thought we’d be strangers but hey, life is different for all of us and that’s just how the story goes, and each one of them added something dramatically significant to my life and for that I owe them a huge thank you. When I take my moments to stalk them and see that they are touching lives in their corners of life I smile and think “yup your energy made sense to me.” It’s funny how all of the girls I used to really be into all end being something great with followers behind them (nothing to brag about, but like attracts like and greatness knows greatness so hey). 

So now I’m at a stage in my life where I feel like I’m doing it man. Nothing is as amazing as to know that you are running you own race and you’re the one that will be 1st 2nd and 3rd and go home with all the medals. You get to a point where you don’t care who’s watching, who’s clapping and how many laps you have left, no. All you care about is where you are going and the fact that you’re smiling everyday step of the way with the most amazing souls around you. This sort of life requires a person to spend a fuckload of time with oneself away from the world and society until you find who the fuck you are regardless of time and space and that’s what’s happened to me. Taking a chance and starting my own company has proven to be the best decision I ever made. Not much since I can remember ever challenged me, I was always the type people hated at school because I didn’t care and made the shit they worried about seem so effortless, but hey maybe I should thank my IQ of 143 for that I guess. Starting my own company is what I needed to throw my enormous energy into and that has stretched my limits beyond what I can ever begin to express on any written piece. That all comes with a lot of wisdom and a reality switch up though, and that’s the shit nobody will tell you. So things like dating are ordinarily affected and ill explain.


Woman in and around me

So ok, being an alpha male means that you ordinarily attract women and that’s how the story goes. I’ve never been one to never attract quality women in my life; and it’s not a game thing but I think it’s more an energy thing. Women have always been drawn to me and that I could never help, it just made choosing one extremely hard. I’m not the best looking guy on the planet but I’m faaaar off from the ugliest guy on the planet at least lol! I’ve seen that women more than anything simply are attracted to a guy that can understand them, is intelligent and has an exciting personality. You have to understand as a guy that women are more in tune with nature and energy than we are which is why I think that God has to be a woman and Eve was first here and then Adam. I mean there’s no way God made the universe one thing at a time, NOOO, an ability to multitask was necessary haha (see what I did there?!). Anyway, ya, women are on some other tip and they have so much going inside them that hormonally, it only makes sense why they are all over the place and that’s why they seek to be understood and entertained in order remove them from the terror of their thoughts and their sworn enemy; the thoughts and opinions of other women!!

The sad thing for women in around me now is that I feel they all want the same thing. It’s like there’s some life whirlpool that is converging them all to the same place. The outgoing, fun, sexual, and free spirited girl is replaced with the serious, career building, husband seeking and child producing woman. You eventually find out as a guy that making out and sex is no longer as “free” as it used to be. Every sexual encounter always has to lead to something monogamous. It’s no longer about how attractive you are as a guy, but it’s more about what suitable long term mate you make. I’m not saying we shouldn’t change with the times but I can’t help feel like these girls all traded their partying and alcohol for Jesus and tea overnight!! I would have no issue if it was one or two, but man it’s all/most of them. 

For me, I can’t stand being bored. That’s one thing I think life was never supposed to be I think. If you look at nature, you never see boredom, no that shit is always buzzing and moving without rules or regulations and one thing I can’t stand for the life of me is a boring individual especially when it comes to girls. So no these girls I used to know are all too serious now and are blood thirsty for marriage and stability and you really can’t blame them hey, to each his own.

Life



If you look at life in its entirety, you’ll notice a lot of causal relationships and that is what sits behind our decision making as a whole, but people seldom look at those until someone crazy like me comes around. Have you as a person ever asked yourself why you are doing what you’re doing and why you want the things that you want? Most people never do… When you ask people that, they always seem to look at you with confusion in their eyes as if you asked them a question like “what time was it when time began?” hahaha that one is also a bit of a mind fuck but you catch my drift. The best answer I ever received was “I don’t know, I think we want and do these things because we were taught to want and do them because it’s not like we knew of these things as children.” Booom!! I loved that answer.

I look at woman these days and I guess I see their rush and desire for marriage and stability and I really don’t blame them. They’re told that their clocks are ticking, parents want grandchildren, there could be a recession at any time and they don’t want to be the only single one in the group hey (yup women in groups put pressure on each other). Nope, they all want to brag about how better their man is and shit. Maybe it’s all true; I mean their bodies have been literally begging them monthly to reproduce since they were 13 and life is also quite hard to be honest, and this has to do a lot with finances and I see that marriage is a sound financial strategy. It also makes sense to bring children up in a proper household and that’s what women also want and that’s also ok. That’s all what society wants from us; career, marriage, house, kids and that happily ever after. 

The sad thing however is that in real life, this is not the case. According to the UN stats division, in the OECD countries, most women get married between the ages of 24 and 32 whereas men get married between the ages of 27 and 36 which makes their combined median age to get married between age 26 and 34. Reports indicate that between 1970 and 2010, that the divorce rate has increased to a median of 33%. This means that 3 in every 10 marriages have a chance to fail in the first 5 years. The average marriage lasts 8-15 years and what these people are basically saying that marriages are failing shrug their shoulders after and it’s just one of those things we must accept. They still can’t admit they’ve built a broken and inhumane system but hey, this report doesn’t include the died-out marriages that have no life left in them and I think if it did; the whole report would be far more interesting but we all know they don’t want such truths out hahaha! 

I’m not at all against marriage but to go back to causality, I’ve seen we humans are designed to change and alter our minds, consciousness and our desires and I think marriage doesn’t account for that simply because that there’s two people involved. I know for a fact a fact who I was five years ago and who I am now are two different people. If you don’t believe me go to your FB profile pics from 5 years ago and see that hideous person with no style. We change! And I hate to break it to you but this will not stop until we die. In five years you’ll be looking at your pics you’re taking today and think eeeeeu again! And I see why most marriages will fail, apart from the fact that biologically men were never meant to be monogamous creatures but that’s a story for another day. 

Once again I emphasize that exceptions do exist but not everyone can be an exception and that’s a fact, nobody tells you this kind of shit but I’m not afraid to do so. But big ups to the exceptions out there, the people who married their best friends, I totally believe in that shit. Best friends change with each other.
About me



So let’s bring it back to me since I’m the subject of this here formula. My view on everything is simple. I feel like no person can do what someone else has done and hope to do it in the same way and achieve similar results. We all know we are all endowed with different gifts, realities and journeys but we don’t live life like that. No, we want everyone to somehow be like us. If someone wants to do something different we socially chastise them. Yup, I’ve always said I love humans but I hate people. 

Nothing is life is ever constant except change but all the models of the world don’t include these things in their life instructions. I’ve always said that for someone to really be happy in life, they have to make life their own. I’m sorry if this isn’t a very tasty truth to taste but that’s a fact. You can’t live my life or try being me or anyone else and expect to feel what I/they feel. You gotta make everything in life your own. It’s funny how we accepted similar school uniforms but can’t stand arriving to an event to see someone else dressed the same as we are (that’s a free thought). But with life you can’t wear a mental uniform, you gotta mentally tailor make this shit. 

When it came to women I’ve been with, everything was always cool and fun. I mean I have had the most life changing relationships (excusive and non exclusive) with women. Like I’m talking young, old; rich, poor; short, long distance; local, international; black, white & everything in between; and the list goes on. All these relationships always ended because the whirlpool effect came into play after a while and they wanted stability and all that stuff I mentioned above and I do understand where they were coming from. I guess it was that “we weren’t on the same page shit.” Ya ok.
And it always wasn’t about the whirlpool effect (I actually created  a new theory here lol!), because even though I’d like to think I’m a great guy, I am pretty much fucked up too. I’m sometimes impatient, I’ve never been an average person and never will be, I posses high energy, I love being around women which means I have a lot of girl-friends which has always been an issue for girls I’ve been with. I feel I’m sometimes too passionate of an individual, I have a short or long temper depending on circumstance, I feel I can be manipulative at times, I think I’m always right and I think at times my intelligence works against things because I tend to over analyze everything. Plus I love my space and am sometimes too spontaneous, yup I’m a typical fire sign, Aries to be exact and as much as I know I’m extremely fun to be around, I also feel I’m not marriage material at this stage. Maybe it’s because I have sooooo much to do still or I feel I’m too passionate for the settled down life or maybe I really can’t choose one woman to be with, yup. I’m greedy as fuck and these are things I still have to work on I guess. 



 Rather I be honest with all this shit, because in life we like acting perfect when perfection really doesn’t exist but because “perfection” is just a collective consciousness focal point which always changes and stuff. That’s me, a fucked up single individual who somehow loves this life thing to death and is a ball of too much wisdom that came too early for his own good. 



My hot divorced “bae”

So now that I’ve explained myself and my ways it’s time to extrapolate things further to make my point. 

I’ve had some interesting conversations with divorced women and they’ve always been so fucken eye opening even though they’ve mostly been old. This is why is used the word “hot” in my description. I’ve heard 2 resonating and consistent stories from them as to why the divorce happened. The first was always the story of another woman who was mostly younger, more attractive and more exciting. The second story which was more interesting to me, was the women who experienced a chance in herself and ultimately her marriage and became too ambitious for her husband and vice versa. It seemed that this was spurred on by that mid-life crisis and menopause shit. They admitted that the flame had died and the routine killed things and in hindsight they see this. I seldom hear of regrets though except from the ones who experienced infidelity. It was a learning experience.

Both outcomes have produced a different kind of woman that is not the same as the one who felt the whirlpool effect but the woman who has simply been spit out of it. Bear in mind that most women will allow their men to be the main providers in a marriage and thus limit their ambition until the shit hits the fan. I met a 55 year old lady who I’ll call Athena here, who had been a housewife all her life, didn’t study or pursue any ambitions of her own because she thought that she was just supposed to be a wife and mother. She told me that 30 years into the marriage she found out that there had been another secret woman and family on the side for most of her marriage and that shattered her whole life. The guy took everything (children too) and left her without a cent and that’s where life began for her, at 50 with no qualifications. Needless to say, she eventually learnt to be strong and started a company and 5 years later she owns a cancer cosmetic company that’s worth $800k last I checked and she’s getting ready to export to other countries from South Africa. The truth is that you never know how strong you are until being strong is all you have. 

I think everyone’s dreams are valid and I’ve noticed such a different energy about divorced women. It’s like they’ve been given a second chance at life and don’t want to take it for granted and are as a result realize that they’ve done all the bullshit life has required them to do and now see that life is all about what you choose to make it. They understand that even though they are alone with children, they have to be strong. They have no deep desire to get married again because they somehow understand that marriage is nothing but a glorified relationship and is not the end all and be all to life but would be open to it if it really means so much to the other party. These women want life partners/companions as opposed to husbands. They have this new ambition and they seem happier and realize somehow that they need to do what they’ve always wanted to do; I think the new found freedom is somewhat euphoric and I can imagine it to be so. This made me look at my parents who are also divorced and they are actually much happier than they were when they were married which has been beautiful to see after the divorce process they had. 



So ya

I’ve always possessed an innate ability to somehow know whether something was for me or not without having to experience it first. This is because I’ve always interacted with my environment and realized I didn’t have to make all the mistakes myself but I could learn from people’s mistakes as well as my own. I guess I just feel I want to date a woman who isn’t fazed by the whirlpool effect, has been through life and sees the bigger picture and not the picture that has been put in front her eyes. I guess I want a woman that isn’t trying to make me just enough to handle and isn’t taken/intimidated by my energy. This all might change because that’s one thing about life I’ve learnt to embrace but for now that’s what I think I want. I think that there’s more to life than just to reproduce although once again this view might change but I feel there’s already 7 billion motherfuckers on this planet already and I don’t want to add to the traffic yet you know. I also have accepted that I’m a hyper active 5 year old kid mixed with a Plato, Buddha, Nikola Tesla, Steve jobs and Alan watts in one little body so I’m quite a weird affair hahaha! I think after the struggle of getting our company up and running one can focus on neglected areas and just have fun. More than anything I guess I’m open to new holistic experiences and that’s why I think I want to be with a hot divorced woman/bae.

Success isn’t a monetary thing...




So there we were, in a club, with some amazing music playing in the background… For everyone out there, I have 3 friends who’ve basically stood by me through everything I’ve been through and they’re basically the people I’m mostly around. So back to my story, we were in the cluuuurb and I was sitting down talking to this girl, I’ll rate her at 8.5 for now because I didn’t have too much to drink but anyway, I looked around me, and when I looked, I spotted my mates, all 3 of them, being comfortable, each sitting with a hot girl, drink in hand and the girls they were with just having huge laughs. At this point I’m ignoring the girl I’m sitting with because why must hot girls always have your attention, you have to be able to own a situation as an alpha male, and in my mind she could wait a few more moments… Hot girls always expect attention because beta males just hand it to them but anyway I still got her number so hey, will probably text her after this post. 

I looked at us, the new us. I felt something change in the air and I immediately picked it up and told Vini too. Everything was the same but it felt different, different in a very good way. You know in the process of following your dreams as tough as is, you are built in a new way. Your outlook to everything changes and everything you go through is preparing you for what you asked the universe/God for. Something had changed in us and I could see it in the way we conducted ourselves. I looked at them in the face and I saw successful young people and this wasn’t a money thing. At that moment the word success revealed itself to me and it was such a powerful moment. I think if I wasn’t drinking the Ciroc in the club and I was in a cave I would’ve written a new chapter in the Bible or Quran or something, like why must religious writers always get their shit in a cave or the desert, but anyway let’s continue… 

Firstly I learnt one thing: SUCCESS IS NOT A MONETARY THING!!!
 
Ok fine, successful people have money I get it, but they aren’t successful because they have money, the money came as a result of the success they already had in them. Money was just a derivative.  
When I looked at my friends, and saw success, it wasn’t money I saw because Lord knows that the entrepreneur journey is a very broke one but we make things work (I suck at being modest I know). I looked at them and I saw a fire, an intention, a destination, an objective and what I saw was that this was producing an accidental form of success that even they couldn’t control. And so I’d like to define what the success I saw in them. 

 I think this is cool!

Success is a [decided intention]

This means that success is decision made by a person to have an intention to something and move it along to reality. No person can start a company or a dream without firstly deciding that it can be done before it’s embarked on. Nobody starts something they know will fail, this means that they start something with it first being successful in their minds. See the mind controls the outcome of any situation. My friends were not walking around with some half idea of who they were and what they wanted to get from the night. What determines a good night out is all about what you make of it. If you’re meeting people, guys or girls, dancing and whatever else goes in a night it’s is all in your hands. You decide the outcome using nothing but your intention. 



Success isn’t a journey

A lot of people like telling themselves that “success is a journey not a destination”. They don’t understand that all that this kind of thinking does is make them complacent to everything that’s going on in their lives. I’m not saying success is not a marathon because it is. But people live their lives thinking that where they are in life is ok and that there’s something waiting for them somewhere in life as long as they wait and pray for something even if it means that they must wait their whole lives for it. Success is not a journey; success is knowing what you want and attacking it with a ferociousness resembling a T-Rex that has been fasting for 40 days! Everything my friends and I want to do as a collective unit of friends is decided upon and put into action as soon as possible. You can’t want a wife or husband and sit at home all day everyday and think that they are just going to knock on your door one day because you’ve told yourself that “success is a journey.” I think success is a destination and then the decision and action to embark on the journey.

Success is infectious

Successful people are loved for the way they’re outlook on life is just so refreshing. Whenever I was around someone and heard their story of success it always energized me. When someone speaks from experience as opposed to knowledge you don’t hear it, you feel it. You just sense by a successful person’s aura that you’re in for a treat and that’s why society is attracted to successful people. If you know Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, you learn that self-actualization is on top of human desires. The problem with success is that it’s not taught in school and so can only be attained from people, which then thus makes it highly infectious.
Success is impregnating

Maya Angelou said: “Creativity doesn’t run out, the more you use the more you get.” In terms of success, if you wanted to launch a singing career and you eventually launch your first album, you quickly realize that you begin to get new ideas, new inspirations and new redefined versions of the success you once wanted. Success evolves with its owner and that evolution is more exponential than it is linear. You’ll see rich people get quicker to making $100 000 000 from $1 000 000 than getting to their first $1 000 000 from nothing. The more goals you set, the more goals you use.

Success is subjective [not] objective

The problem with society is that it creates these glamorous images and dream worlds using the media to make people want the same things, promising a certain feeling of happiness with them only for people to get there and realize that it was all a lie. You can make all the money you want to make, but money sadly doesn’t buy happiness. Success can never be defined by someone else for you. Only you have the stuff that you have and your stuff will only respond to the success that’s yours that came because it required you to activate all that stuff in you. Hope I made sense there. When I didn’t care to attend my own graduation, a lot people were telling me I’m crazy or that I’m ungrateful and therefore have to go. The truth is that I had already defined what my success was and so I didn’t attend it because it wasn’t for me. I wasn’t going to have that happy feeling because I already knew what my heart longed for. And that’s what I want to do with everything in my life even down to having a family one day; make it your own otherwise you’ll wonder why something you attain doesn’t feel as amazing as it should because guess what?? IT WASN’T YOURS TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!!! 

Success leaves clues

Success isn’t something that one should be oblivious to. Success leaves clues. If you want to see whether you’re successful, all you have to do is look back on your life and see the things that really stretched you that made you feel successful having achieved them. Your past and present is a wonderful inference for your future. The current will be the past you use in the future to look for clues regarding another future you wish to create. But if you look back at where you’ve achieved success, you’ll notice it required sacrifice, taking some sort of risk, determination and a harnessing of focus on something and that should signal to you that you already know what goes into attaining success in any place of your life.  

Success is inspirational

When I was starting out with my company and even now, whenever I feel down, frustrated or de-motivated, I watch “The social network” and after seeing how Facebook was created I get a sense of excitement for what I am doing or trying to do. The truth is that there’s nothing more powerful than seeing that something you previously thought was impossible is now possible. When I hear success stories, I get excited because it tells me that success is still in the world and it’s still attainable. Imagine the world without people having anything to look forward to in life. Success is what built the great empires of the past and all that’s now around us. It’s all in success creating more of itself. 

Success isn’t selfish

Have you ever noticed how some people accumulate knowledge and never share it?? Successful people look at the world and are shocked by how much potential people actually have and the opportunities that are always available. It’s a kind of shock that turns into excitement to simply share their knowledge. When I first started writing my first book, I was excited at the prospect of being an author but a few pages in I realized that our gifts don’t belong to us but to humanity and life. Your character is yours, but your gifts belong to humanity. If someone has been able to understand, harness and unleash success in their lives, the gifts that now become more focused and manifest themselves no longer belong to them. In my case I’ve been blessed with the mind that I have and I’ve realized that the gift doesn’t belong to me but to society. I don’t see the point of being selfish and my understanding of success forces me to share, otherwise I wouldn’t sit here for 6 hours writing a post. You can’t call yourself successful if you don’t put people on, and don’t share. I’m sorry but that’s just selfishness and lame.
Success has to be loyal

There’s a karmic law that goes a lil something like this: “You are free to pursue all the success you want in the world as long as you don’t stop or hinder the success of others in the process.” Basically, Don’t SCREW PEOPLE OVER! You cannot use someone as a stepping stone and then expect to remain successful. Success is a delicate balance of thoughts and energies and once you get that guilty feeling going on, it creates its own thoughts and energies that influence you and your life. I don’t think one can live life while constantly looking over their shoulder. If you’ve screwed someone over, apologize and pay them back what was due to them. If someone screws you over, don’t try fight back, that’s all negative energy, success doesn’t work on a one hit wonder system, if you could do it once, you can do it again. 

Success is predictable 

Unlike winning the lottery, which is a stroke of some serious luck, and because success is intentional, it doesn’t come as a surprise to the person who pursues it. It’s not enough to be on your way to success in anything that you do, one must also be able to feel/asses ones proximity to the goal. If you’ve been on a long flight anywhere you’ve never been you’ll know just how alert the body becomes as soon as you get close to your destination. Call it excitement or a whole new set of decisions but whatever it is, successful people will know how it feels when they get close to their goals so it comes as no surprise. I mean you’ve beeeeen waiting.



Success can’t be capped and there’s no “enough”

People will always talk shit about wanting just “enough” success, not knowing that that sort of thinking breeds nothing but a stern complacency. If you limit the amount of success you want, you limit and underestimate the amount of effort that must go into it. You either want to be successful or you’re happy with where you are, there is no middle ground. 



Success isn’t genetic nor is it a bloodline

If you read Malcolm Gladwell’s book called “outliers,” he sort of explains the factors that go into success based on historical evidence and some sociology. He mentions parents, mindset, and time in history, history of the people, culture and personal ambition as some of the factors. Nowhere does he mention genetics or some royal bloodline as most people would like to think. Just because your parents were successful doesn’t mean you will be, because you have to find your own subjective version of success to be happy.  

Success breeds more success in multiples

In science there’s a principle called “Resonance” which is the ability of a vibrating to make a non vibrating object vibrate. The same thought extrapolation applies to success. They often tell you to watch your friends because “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” The truth is that the people around you will either affect you positively or negatively. If being around unsuccessful people makes you unsuccessful, then being around successful people will make you successful because one can’t fully embrace one entity without mentally accepting its inverse. If you want to speed up your success, be around successful people and let their energy rub off you and you’ll instantly start tapping into the laws that govern success. Success works just the same way as how one seed can produce a whole crop. It’s all multiplicative.

Conclusion

I’ve mentioned a couple of points regarding success and they all were things I realized when I was looking at my friends doing what they were doing. Here’s a bunch of guys who share a story of trials, tribulations to triumph and success filled minds. If there’s one thing I saw with us is that we carry some sort of life with us that doesn’t run out. Bob Marley said that the success of a man is not determined by how much wealth he accumulates but in his ability to affect those around him positively

When I looked at them they taught me that success is not one thing and it’s also not monetary. Success is frame of mind; it’s an understanding of the game of life and deciding to do something and doing it. It’s the understanding to see the current situation you’re in and quickly figure out a way to win. It’s a power to make anything you touch turn into gold. If you want to be rich, you have to have be successful inside before in manifests physically. 

This means that success is a mindset, a thought process or a sort of mods-operandi. Anyone can be successful if they change their attitudes, stop making excuses & take control for every outcome in their lives (good and bad.) I think if someone can take the credit when they win they should similarly take the responsibility for when they lose. The single greatest lesson I’ve learnt is that once someone can get over the fear of being a beginner when deciding to try something, they can do so much and achieve phenomenal success in anything. Aristotle said that excellence is a habit

Success isn’t permanent and must therefore be kept. I get so sick of people who love talking about their former glories of days past as if that’s all it’ll ever be. You can’t cut your grass once and expect it to stay that way forever. You have to constantly cut it and the same works for success. It’s not enough to be successful in one area of life; one must strive to be successful in every area of life. Health, career, family, goals, ideals and mindset so never ever allow yourself to get complacent and comfortable. 

My friends have shown me that life is about making the best out of every situation and deciding the outcome before you even tackle it. They’ve reminded me that life is simple and it’s really about having fun. Happiness and money are only the signs that say that success is present in one’s life and I’ve seen that no matter how low things can get sometimes, we somehow remain happy and pull each other up when necessary and that is success. It’s not monetary it’s an everyday mentality to everything that says I WILL WIN!! 

I’m tired of people not being successful in their lives. I’m appalled by the negativity I sense all around me every day and I write this knowing that not everyone will agree with me but I really don’t care, I know that as I sit here typing this in the study in South Africa, this post will at least touch and change one person in the world somewhere and that’s good enough for me. Go and pursue your success and know that it’s not limited, genetic, money, unattainable or objective. The only way to be successful at anything is to make It your own and remember that it’s not the cards you were born with that matter, but the cards that fall out of your hand the day you breathe your last breath.

I sit here and look back at my life with the assistance of my journal and I’m absolutely blown away by what a different direction my life took as opposed to where I was 3 or 4 years back. The funny thing is that I feel as though I've left so many clues for myself over time in the form of the first book I wrote, my notes on Facebook and my journals. People will ask me how I changed my life from being the student who was failing at university for just finding far more interesting things to do even deciding not to write some of my exams to running a company and being flown all over the world for free, inventing things, writing and speaking where I do. Clearly something in my life has triggered a change and that has brought me to the new me; the person full of life and who’s awake to all the wonderful possibilities that have always right sat in front of my eyes. 

I went to like 4 different universities/colleges in South Africa and at some point I wanted to go to Harvard and I guess make it number 5 on my university/college infidelity but that didn’t happen. I remember in 2009 when I was at home after being kicked out twice by the University of the Witwatersrand because they figured I had massive potential but didn’t care but they were right. I remember being at home for the first 6 months of 2009 thinking what a big fuck up I’ve made of my life and it broke me down. How did I go from being an “A” student in school to being what they labeled me as a failure in varsity? How did I squander the law degree, engineering degree and business degree that I tried to study?? Tears couldn’t even begin to express what I was going through and to make it all worse, my parents were getting divorced and the girl I was dating at the time decided to lie to me and secretly see her ex while being with me so I was alone. How the fuck did I get to where I am now?? That’s been my question. It was a totally dark place that only seemed to get darker and darker. How did I get back into the university that kicked me out twice, to finally finish a degree even though I hated the education system? How did I apply myself, fight my way to where I am to completing the degree, deciding not to even attend the graduation all the way to coming up with insane ideas and see those closest to me achieve their dreams concurrently with my mine?? All these things came down to one thing and that is the quality of my thoughts and the attitude they formed in me that then influenced my decisions, actions and then finally my life

What was happening to me?

Your attitude determines your altitude” – I don’t know

2009 was the worst year of my life but in hindsight, it was the greatest gift I ever received making it the worst best year of my life. There’s a Tswana saying (which is a language in South Africa) that says: “Lefatshe ema, ire ke fuluge…” this means, “World stop, let me get off.” What happened to me was that I got off the ride the world and society was taking me on and I had to fend for myself. I had to unlearn all the programmes I was taught because they no longer served me; I was a failure according to them. I had to learn to harness the creativity the school system didn’t kill in me and somehow use it. I was discovering who the fuck I was and what the fuck I was brought here to be/do. I was being taught to take control of my mind, my thoughts and ultimately my life, yet I didn’t know it at the time. Steve jobs did say one can only connect the dots looking backwards, not looking forward


What did I do?

In the same way doctor’s study further in order to specialize, I was studying myself and the inner power I possessed and then learnt to harness it and redirect it to an object of my choosing. I read book after book, changed what I was watching, studied the stories of successful people and decided to give myself a chance. I took a risk and invested in myself. I remember reading a quote which said: “do something today that your future self will thank you for.” And that was what was happening. I learnt to become productive, and I’m in no way using the word in its watered down form. I made sure I was always producing something, I made sure I was always “pregnant” and as a result, always giving “birth” to something, by bringing ideas to some form of physical manifestation. It didn’t matter to me whether the “baby” was worthwhile or not, I was always giving birth to something that affected reality somehow. Just to let the idea universe know that I could be trusted. I wrote a 406 page book called #LifeLoveWhatever which got rejected because I was apparently too young to write and other bullshit they told me. I put up videos on YouTube expressing my thoughts on life and shit. I always wrote a “business plan” for ideas I had even though I always ended up at road blocks but hey, I remained pregnant and in labour and I had no time for “mental contraception.” I taught my left hand how to write because I wanted to prove to myself that anything is possible and that journey has now turned into a second book called “From right to left”. I decided to fight my way back to school because I now looked at school as a constructive place to waste time while I figured out what I wanted to do. I mean who wouldn’t want to be around hot girls, conversations and free internet??? 

My book "cover" for my first book written in 2011. 

The book manuscript. 2011


Printed many sheets like this with quotes and pasted them all over my room. 


I was reading some weird shit. 


Day 1 of writing with my left hand in 2012. 

A few months later. I even answered a section in my final exam using my left hand haha!

How did I make it through school, while always being “Pregnant”?

Here’s something sobering; WE ALL HAVE 24 HOURS IN A DAY. The difference is in how YOU choose to spend it. How you chose to spend your time will determine what your life turns out to be. I was sleeping 3 to 4 hours juggling school, some club activation job I had, writing, recording YouTube videos, reading books and articles. I wasn’t spending too much time with people or partying and so time for a girlfriend wasn’t there although I was having stupid amounts of sex but you can’t be great if you can’t at least get laid, we have to be honest. I developed a bit of a drinking a habit to allow myself to cope with it all but I managed my time effectively and my life just adapted I guess. My mind was running my body.


The alcohol thing was pretty intense.

How did I know I was on the right track??

I DIDN’T!!!! Coco Chanel said: “Many things stop mattering when one stops trying to be something and starts trying to be someone.” I just knew that I was trying to be someone now and somehow someway, you learn to activate and listen to your intuition and instincts because they already know who you want to be and they produce feedback for you in the form of some really good feeling regardless of what you’re going through. It’s like that feeling before an exam that determines how much of your work you know and that feeling after that tells you whether you passed or not and determines how much you were now going to bother Jesus with your prayers haha!! The truth is that you don’t know, but somehow you know… It’s weird but that’s the best I can say for now.

Was it scary??

Hell fucken yes!! I mean look at it this way, I was the only blueprint of a blueprint I was trying to be that didn’t exist. That shit scares you. You wake up In the middle of the night because it takes thaaaat amount of thinking about your dream in order to produce the right amount of energy to the universe so that the universe can return it back as an experience. Everything is about energy. Without proper thought projection and energy production, one cannot create the reality one wishes to experience. People don’t understand and they call you crazy but that’s also how you know that you’re on the right track. If people love what you’re doing, you’re doing it wrong sadly. People have been taught what to praise in society and also what to socially crucify. And they’ve been bred to socially crucify anyone’s self awakening but it then comes down to your consistency and determination. Eventually they stop laughing at you and they let you be as long as you accept your label as weird or crazy. The trick is to cut negative people off quickly; they will kill your dream quickly with their negativity. 

How long did it take?? 

From 2009 to now has been *as I do the maths*……………………5 years!!! Half a decade hey.

Was it worth it??

I’m going to write a post called “The opportunity cost of following your dreams” after this post because that requires a post of its own. 



 So what was the outcome?

The outcome of this whole journey is the fact that I’m free now. They say freedom is expensive which pretty ironic but it’s true. I live in a world where I see the opportunities in front of me jumping up and down for me to pick them. They are all over; my mind sees them all now and also gives me ways of how to see them through to completion. I get to wake up when I want, only schedule meetings between 10am and 2PM. Travel for free, get paid to speak and can have the privilege of seeing whatever thoughts I have come to life. There’s no meeting that we’re in that the word “million” isn’t included when discussing financial matters. I’m seeing my friends’ dreams come true slowly but surely and I’m sharing all the shit that I’ve learnt with everyone because knowledge is power and it’s powerful when applied and passed on. Oh and I can use both hands to write now, which is pretty cool! I remember a poem by called Ulysses, and in that poem the poet says “I’ve been a part of everything that I’ve seen” and that’s what I strive now, to be a part of everything I encounter. This whole life thing is fun and ima live it till I die. 

 I get to be cool. 

REALLY cool. 
I get to hang on rails.
I get to make shit. 

Think ima even get back to breakdancing. 

 My job basically now.

Conclusion
I’m happy!! *insert Pharell song*

 decided to even take a selfie. This is the new me!

Advice

Life gives us one gift which is time and society gives us 2 gifts which are money and freedom. Now how it works is pretty simple. You’re told you can only have 2 of the 3 at a time and so when you’re a teenager you have time and freedom but no money, so you’re only ready to trade. When you work, you have time and money but no freedom and so you look forward to “retiring.” When you finally retire, you have money and freedom but have sadly run out of time. They don’t teach you that you can have all 3. I always say people who claim you can’t have it all didn’t try hard enough and those are just excuses that they tell themselves so make them feel better about their lives. Excuses are nothing but lies wrapped up in reasons. The truth is that you have to learn to take control of your mind. Your thoughts determine your decisions/actions which then determine your results. We are all where we are today because of the decisions and actions we’ve taken that stemmed from our thoughts, and this then means that 2 years from now we will be exactly where our thoughts lead us. 

Your thoughts determine your friendships; your friendships determine your conversations and your conversation determine your life. It all stems from your thoughts. To enhance your life you need to enhance your actions and your thoughts. This means yes, YOU HAVE TO ENHANCE YOUR MIND!! If you think small, you act small and your results will be small. If you think BIG, your actions will be BIG and so too your results. There’s no real secret to success or anything major or genetic, all you have to do is read and enhance your mind. Only 5% of the population reads at least one book a month and the rest wonder why they are where they are. You don’t see with your eyes, you see with your mind. They say that if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. What happened here? You’ll see the same shit but you’ll respond differently. I stopped looking at university as a cemetery and started looking at it as a constructive place to waste time while I figured shit out and all I had to do to earn an extra year was to pass. When I finally figured it out, I decided to load all my courses in one year (they said I was crazy and nobody had done so many courses and that I was going to fail and they also added my track record but I fucked all the courses up and told them to keep the degree). We can agree that the university stayed the same but I’m the one who changed how I viewed it. 

Stay away from small minded people, they will kill your ambition and confine your mind into small enclosures. 

Freedom is expensive as ironic as that sounds but it’s true. You have to be willing to go into the dark where it’s cold and lonely to find yourself and discover all the sub-atomic and sub-molecular particles that you’re made of. When you realize that the same shit that creates Jupiter is the same shit you’re made of, you can’t help but have a sick smile. When you find out who you are, nobody impresses you and everything falls into place. Embrace the dark and say to yourself “Lefatshe ema, iri ke fuluge” but most importantly you have to read! If 95% of people don’t read a book a month, all you have to do to be different is to read one book a month, nothing major JUST READ A BOOK A MONTH!! Imagine if you read 2 or 3 a month. Your mind affects your attitude and your attitude determines your altitude. I read like 10 articles a day and like 5 books a month, and have been doing so for years now so best believe I’m a totally weird human being but hey. Remember, ALWAYS PRODUCE, ALWAYS HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX WITH YOUR MIND AND GIVE BIRTH!! You can’t reap unless you’ve sown, and I’ll even go as far as using words from the Bible:

Go yea therefore and multiply” – Somewhere in Genesis. (See it’s even in the Bible)

“Mighty is he who can control others, but even mightier is he that has mastered himself” – Lao Tzu

Also note that what you read when you don’t have to, will determine who you will be when you can’t help it.


What a journey!!! Grateful...
