Good day
I'm still learning this bloggin thing and it took a while to learn how to add text with this video that I want to share with you. A friend send me a link to this on youtube and I recognised the advert immediately. I'm sorry to say I didn't have a clue who Messi was at the time this ad flighted in my country. If I recall correctly, it was a few years back. My football knowledge has always been dismal so... Please forgive me.
This video just reminded me that nothing is impossible. We all have hardships and are sometimes put in difficult situations. However through all of that, we must remember that we have skills and talents. We have that at our disposal so that we can remove ourselves from tricky situations. Life is not always going to be easy, but it doesn't have to be hard either. So... I just want to live you with one word today... Go for it! Whatever it is that you are dreaming about... Just do it...
Surprise yourself.

Dreams and Resolutions
I just got news that a lady who is dear to me has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This news comes just days after I found out that my cousin is in hospital in a critical condition and is suffering from meningitis.
To be honest; I've lost touch with my friend and cousin over the last few months, and I don't think that a few occasional on their Facebook profiles count as keeping in touch. I still care deeply for both and will keep them in my prayers. The fact that your life can be so full and overwhelming and then in a twinkle be swiftly changed to an unfamiliar state scares the black out of me. Both these guys are young... Full of promise and aspirations; so much for them to see, do and feel.
However there is something about their present conditions which brings me to resolve a few things. Now I know that resolutions are things that we do at New Year's Day and then spend the whole year tryin to find reasons why we don't care much about fulfilling them. However since I've had to dael with some pretty disturbing news and I guess I've had to endure my own personal hell; which hell seriously puts in jeopardy my sanity. I must confess I have a new respect for mental health. Just yesterday another friend was telling me about how the doctor sent him off to a 'retreat' because he was under immense stress. I've had two friends that I know of who've been to this kind of 'retreat'. Both were sent there because of personal problems. My mental anguish however stems from my work environment and it is quickly spilling into my personal life. If I don't watch out I might have to go to the 'retreat' myself... I've said before that I'm losing my joie de vie. I guess to protect myself and those I care about I've decided to do the following thing:
