START WITH GRATITUDE As I listened to the first Sunday sermon for 2021, these words stood out for me “START WITH GRATITUDE”. The reason they did is that for most of us, 2020 was nothing like we had anticipated. We were forced out of our comfort zones. We had to rethink how we live. Who knew that […]

Life’s Secret Weapon A couple of weeks ago, I had an accident on my way to work. I was hit by a motorbike crossing the road and as a result I fractured a bone on my left leg. I was on cast for about three weeks and after it was removed, it was time to […]

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses = Mediocrity! Recently, I’ve been having a series of thoughts on the subject of mediocrity and what being mediocre really means.

Leadership and Surrender You’ll rarely encounter the words leadership and surrender used together in a complementary fashion.
