I am sitting at a restaurant in Johannesburg, the city buzzing with people 'chasing the dream' or the more popular 'chasing the stash' (that's money for those of you who are a little out of sync with city language! Haha..
This breakfast before I go to an afternoon live shoot of Matrics Uploaded turns into a rejuvenating and re-focusing meeting with myself. So, things are happening, more articles to write, more interviews, more talks to give, I'm in and out of town... Good! But dude, what are you doing here?!
What are you on earth to do? Why are you working in all these projects? Are you here to be another good guy who makes people feel good about themselves? Huh, what?
This was a searching question that gave me this insight: We are not here to merely 'make a living' but to ACTUALLY LIVE! We are not on earth to come accumulate as much money as we can then bounce! We are here to EXPERIENCE, if that were not so, all the natural wonders are in vain! We are here to inspire and become, not just being busy BUT becoming more of our destiny!
I found that while I was busy telling other people to 'GO FOR GOLD' I was not giving enough to me... Selfish? I prefer calling it self-full! If I do not have R100, I can't give you R100 when you ask for it from me. If I am not filling myself up, I have nothing to offer this world either than to recycle what's already here (And I'm not that type!)
So Tumi, become more, inspire more, give more!
Well, breakfast is over, my tummy is full, my spirit is full, off to shoot I go...
By the way,
Dude... What are you doing here?
