Underrated life advice: Stop waiting for life to feel less busy before you live it. There will always be another deadline, another project, another problem. Make time for the people, pursuits, and passions you love now. The work will expand forever. Time will not.
Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.
Truly ambitious people, have very few 'peers.'
You will not relate to a lot of people,
And they will not be able to relate to you.
The lonely road is real.
The ANC has looted money meant for the Alexandra township for years through the Alex Mafia. Now they are scrambling ahead of an election and making promises from a budget that does not exist.
Normalize being very direct, very straight to the point and very assertive. A surprising amount of tension in adult life exist because people avoid saying what they actually mean.

The older I get, the more I realize the power of always having something on the calendar you're excited about. It can really be anything. Difficult physical challenge, big project, fun trip, ambitious goal, whatever. It creates energy and gets you through the lows. Life hack.
A rule that will lower your anxiety: Don’t replay conversations you can’t change, and don’t pre-live ones that haven’t happened. Focus on the next right action. Most stress comes from living everywhere except the present.
This week I spoke to business owners, informal settlement residents and service delivery pressure groups. The issues are the same everywhere: no water, constant electricity outages and no basic sanitation.
My message is clear: The solution is in YOUR hands. Register to vote DA on BOTH ballots. Get us to 136 seats in council and we will have a real chance to fix Joburg.
It’s that simple.🗳️

Cut the crap. Literally, cut the unnecessary distractions out of your life—delete apps, unfriend and unfollow toxic people, stop committing to activities you don't care about. Life is too short.
Underrated life advice: Keep more evidence of your progress. Journal entries. Photos. Notes. Old goals. We spend so much time focused on how far we have left to go that we forget how far we've already come. Sometimes perspective is the only motivation you need.
