Once Inspired

As life would have it, people come together and they fall in love. Obviously they fall in love with the other person and accept them for who they are and so on, but they also occasionally, fall in love with the subconscious desires that that individual fulfills.

They will surely add value to each others’ lives in one way or another, but you’re probably thinking that of course they add value otherwise they wouldn’t be in love.

But surely you should still love someone even when they become a burden on you? Love is not a matter of convenience.

In most discussions regarding this topic there is always mention of the digital shift. So before we continue let’s discuss the digital shift.

Although the major digital shift took place a fair while back many companies are still not operating accordingly. Digital shifts are however still taking place and will continue to do so as technology moves forward. With the constant improvement in technology marketers are able to measure their efforts more accurately.

The digital shifts have also changed consumer behaviour and the psychology behind consumer spending. Consumers now demand more information and thanks to the constant evolution of the digital shift the gap between an uneducated consumer and the experts is considerably smaller.

So many people ask: “Where have all the good guys gone?”

Well apparently a great man, a nice guy and good friend of mine is celebrating his birthday on Thursday, so to honour this day I would like to introduce you to a good guy.

Thirty (30) years of his presence on earth has graced us with some truly magnificent moments of sharing, caring and all round loving.

He is fit, he is fast, he is spiritual and most of all he loves life in all its abundance.  I look up to him for many reasons. Talented, wise and fun loving are but a few.

His name is Raoul de Jongh.

As I start to become aware of my shift in consciousness to a greater spiritual understanding of life on earth I realize that there is no such thing other than the present.

Many people question life on earth. Part of the purpose of our existence is to question life on earth. There are just certain levels of consciousness in which these questions are asked. Most people ask these questions unconsciously, meaning they are unaware as to why they are asking the question in the first place?

I know some of you may not find this the most interesting of topics but it is important for me, and I know many of you may feel the same. So enjoy this post as I share with you my spirituality.

So it’s nearly time for 11global to hit South Africa again. Sun City sees the 11global Racing League, an international triathlon series, on the first of November.

11global Sun City is a hot and hilly affair, arguably one of Africa’s toughest Olympic distance triathlons.

There is however a common misconception amongst the South African public that 11global is for elite athletes. Offering age-group and relay team racing this is certainly not the case. If you can’t make the full thing get some mates to join you in an international racing experience.

Well, maybe Usain Bolt was right after all.  As discussed in our Physiology of Speed story, Bolt predicted he could run 100 meters in 9.54 seconds, lowering his own world record of 9.69 seconds.

I find I race, train and sleep better after a cup of tea. What do you think? Here’s a little story for tea time. (Don’t forget the cookies.)

Tea is currently admired for its health-promoting properties, but public opinion has not always been so positive. When tea gradually began to replace coffee as Britain’s number-one non-alcoholic drink in the early 1700s, health authorities railed against the beverage. The noted German physician Simon Pauli, whose work Commentarius de Abusu Tabaci et Herbae Thee, etc was translated into English in the 1700s, concluded that: ‘as Chocolate agrees with Coffee and Tea, … so all these three exactly agree with each other, in producing Effeminacy and Impotence …. I therefore hope that for the future the Europeans will be wise, and reject Coffee, Chocolate, and Tea, since they are all either equally bad or equally good.

I’m sure most of you athletes out there appreciate what these ladies are currently putting their bodies through as they train for Ironman Worlchamps. Now for those of you who don’t know what iron man is it is an ultra distance triathlon with the swim leg being a little under 4km, a 180km bike leg and the run leg is nothing other than a full marathon.

Kona is the toughest Ironman race in the world. The bike and run legs are full of hills. Lend a hand to these ladies. It’s not only for them but also for a good cause… and you may just win yourself a holiday too.

I have also taken the liberty of including this video for you…
