How happy are you with your life?
Think about it for a moment...100%? If not why not? Despite your circumstances , you can be 100% happy. It's achievable , because happiness comes from within. It's about inner transformation, which has to happen before it can be externally manifested.-Gustav Gous

Relationships form when we interact with other people, relationships consists of different influence spheres around us and we need to be aware of how and when they form. Sometimes a brief relationship will form around a braai, this is called a casual friend relationship and is usually the result of choices that we make based on what we like about the person externally and is a result of immediate circumstances.
Close friendships however develop over a longer period and is the result of choices we make based on how well we know the person we’re involved with. That being said it follows logically that a wiser choice would result in a better friend.
Prov 27:19 As in water face answers to and reflects face, so the heart of man to man. (Amplified)
Prov 12: 26 The [consistently] righteous man is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked causes others to go astray. (Amplified)
What does these 2 verses mean? Well basically that Lazy, angry, immoral, bitter, greedy and unbelieving people will challenge us mentally. We need to choose our friends very wisely. Prov 13:20 He who walks [as a companion] with wise men is wise, but he who associates with [self-confident] fools is [ a fool himself and ] shall smart for it. [Isa 32:6]
The opposite of this is true of morally intact and believing people. Yes they will also sometimes challenge me mentally but they’ll also support me emotionally and strengthen me spiritually. Heb 10:24 And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities, (Amplified)
Who you are will ultimately determine the persons that you attract. So how do we attract the right people? Start by being interested in other people. Fil 2:4 Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.
Don’t be a chronic complainer (Phil 2:14-15) but be a good listener (Jam 1:19), ask questions it’s like food to the body. Accept people unconditionally (Rom 15:7). A true friend loves at all times even when we disagree with another’s view point.
You see when we do that we help people feel significant (Rom12:10) and that means that we then honor others above ourselves (Phil 2:30). We must also be sympathetic (Rom 12 :15) and stick with people in tough times Prov 18:24 & Eccl 4:9-10) so that by doing this we actually share Christ with them.(Luc 8:39 & Luc

Be inspired to become not only a ‘Go Getter’ but also a ‘Go Giver’. What do I mean? In order to give something you need to have it first George Waitley said “You must live a good life for yourself in order to ‘give it away’ to others”

It’s about redesigning and restructuring your life and re-aligning priorities. Our 7 straightforward and hard hitting strategic questions will facilitate the process.

These questions will point out where your happiness is compromised.
“Successful people ask better questions and as a result get better answers.” – Anthony Robbins
The strategically placed questions takes a holistic approach to life and opens new possibilities. Most self help books and courses focus on only 1 aspect of life.

My goodness what a year this was! I know I know you haven’t had any blog from me in a long while, so much has happened since we last spoke! Well I had the priveledge of attending a few workshops so that I can better serve you, I also still has a full-time job of creating some new and exciting content for you just for 2016 and then I also helped my son transform his teenage life!
Phew what a mouth full!
Well I went to church tonight and Johan Serfontein from AGS (AFM) Waterkloof had a compelling message that made me think about you. The overall gist of the message was Hope and what we need to justify having that hope for the future. You see if we have hope for the future but we place it in people, places or circumstances we’re doomed for failure. Okay the non-christians reading here relax the muscles and bear with me for the next few minutes and you’ll realise that this is also relevant to you.
In the Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) there is 4 books in the New Testament (the very first 4) that is called the Evangelicals (Good news). In all 4 of them the same story (parable) of the 5 Barley loaves and 2 small fish is told (refer John 6:1-15). A multitude of people were following Jesus, why you ask? Well Jesus was popular because where-ever He went He healed the sick, made the blind see and called people back from the dead. Miracles were part of His dayly routine. Think about it for a minute, miracles has 3 things that’s always present that makes them miracles:
1. There’s always some sort of crisis or need that needs to be addressed. Sometimes there’s no prayer or even faith present and still a miracle happens! This mean that we too are eligible for miracles in our lives!
2. A lunch basket is packed on the ready.
Whoa! You say “lunch basket?” what does that have to do with anything? Well the lunchbasket represent our talents (abilities or willingness to do something) this could be the ability to sing, sell, teach or play tennis, any ability that you have that could fill a need somewhere.
3. The willingness to give away or share those abilities.
The moment when you share yourself or what you have, that’s when a miracle happens!
Johan gave us a great formula which I just have to share:
Momentum = (FI t)to the power of G
Momentum = (Focused Intensity time) to the power of God (or whatever you want to call it)
The moment you focus your ability with intesion and intensity adding time, things starts happening! It’s not always what you bring, but actually that you bring something that makes it happen.
This brings me to my main message. Was 2015 all you hoped for? Did you achieve your goals or did you miss some? Did you work a plan or did someone-elses plan work you? Do you have the ability to plan and strategise for 2016 or are you hoping for the best and maybe this time it will be better?
May I ask you to book a free session with me so that I can help you reach your goals for 2016 within a set timeframe using your abilities and talents in order to have a well rounded balanced life?
There is 7 questions that should be asked and answered:
Am I effective/ efficient in what I do? Time Management
Am I efectively going in the right direction? Direction management
Is ALL of me effectively going in the right direction? Balance Management
Should I effectively be going in this direction? Purpose Management
Will I be able to continue after a big crisis or calamity? Calamity Management
Am I fit to travel? What state am I in? Recovery Management
Can I transcend (live beyond) myself? Legacy Management
This is the logical questions to ask but they are not in the correct order as we need the chronological order to unpack them and gain valuable insight into our lives.
