Who am I?

Let’s rewind back a little, to the year 2006, July 26th to be precise (17:41pm) 

This intro that I wrote for my biography will give you an insight.
My next update will tell of where I am today, fast forward to the present day almost 2 years on…

Please indulge me ;)

As I sit here and write this I am now 32 yrs old, less than 2 months shy of my 33rd birthday. I have been back home now for 3 yrs and 1 month from my adventures as a “single” person since I left home at a not so tender age of 17, living all across the country of my birth, neighbouring countries and then in Europe where I had the rare opportunity to work on super yachts and travel the Mediterranean for free; actually being paid excellent tax free money to see far away and exotic places. I have done and experienced things in my life that most can only dream of……
especially considering from where I come from. But I’ll tell you about my humble beginnings later……

I have been told countless times by friends that each chapter of my life can be made into book (Biography). I personally think that some chapters of my life can be made into a Hollywood movie!! Thus, the writing of this book. Friends and associates have told me before that I should write a book and chronicle all of the adventures I’ve had in life on my short existence on this earth. I’ve always wanted to do so…… Started writing and stopped…… Started recording and stopped….. Does this sound familiar to you? If you’re anything like me, then we share a common problem... Procrastination and the lack of persistency! I have resolved to complete the 1st chapter of my book by the 8th August 2006. The problem is where to start…..?? I guess the most logical place to start is right at the beginning….. right? Not in this story….. let me take you by another route….. Let’s start from present, let me tell you just where I am in my life right now…..

As I am writing this, I have embarked on yet another new chapter in my Life….. I have two current businesses, 1 growing, the other dying….. I broke off with my most recent girlfriend with whom I started 1 of my businesses with on the 16th of June just passed. I now am living with my parents in the town where I was born but dislike (always have!!) (I left my “home town” when I was 8 and after a full circle returned here when I was 30).

People view me as a friendly, outgoing, relatively successful albeit very different and unusual personality, particularly denoted by the 2 earrings that hang from my left earlobes. Other than that I don’t speak the language of my people... so, most view me as a little of an oddity when it comes to this. However I am reasonably Good Looking and always carry myself and conduct myself well in public. I’d like to think I give people a good impression especially after they’ve given me a chance for themselves to know me; this is normally after their initial scepticism of how I look like, in a pretty conservative society.

I’m in a phase of revamping my life in all areas for the better.
I have hit a treasure road map of success in the book Think and Grow Rich! And honestly and sincerely believe that if and when I put into practice all the principles in this book, that my entire, long postponed and over due dreams and goals will become a true reality. This book has started me thinking and planning again and 1 of the reasons why I am currently writing this autobiography/book. I strongly recommend TAGR to anyone who wants to drastically alter your own life for the better in which ever way and especially if you have Ambition, Goals and Dreams and you want to see these translated into reality. Heck, if I could do it, anyone with half a brain and will, can definitely do so as well. Well, I’m putting the book, its principles and myself to the test, so you’ll definitely be in the know pretty soon!! A bankrupt, Arthur Nash, employed what is known as the Carnegie secret to astounding success. Will I do the same? Only time will tell…..

I don’t know what the future holds….. But I do know that I have the keys to my own destiny in my hands to open all the locked doors before me….. The question is, will I use all of them and unlock my full potential as a human being? In a weird way, I’ve always gotten from life everything I asked for if I really had the true desire for it. This brings me to the philosophy of how I’ve lived my life till recently.

When I was in my teens I asked Joseph (you’ll read more of his story later), why he lived his life the way he did?? The answer... “Why live life, if you’re not living life on the edge!!” I took this saying (Live Life on the Edge!!) to heart as a young impressionable teenager and lived life on the edge to the max... thus the beginnings of my colourful and extraordinary life!!!

What’s gonna be so fascinating about this book? Is there a moral to the story? Is there a point at all in me writing this book? Well, I’m gonna bring you on a journey that will cover the good and bad of life, the beautiful and ugly, the nice and scary….. a journey that crosses path with the spiritual and super natural. A story about greed, vanity, pride, desperation, sex, drugs, rock & roll, techno, hit mans but also of ambition, love, family, hopes and aspiration, joy and impending success in the face of mounting adversities. It is a story that could be yours. It is a story that many of you out there will be able to identify with. But above all, it is a story of hope. For what would life be if there was nothing to hope for??
