So we went to see Dr Demartini again last week and not a minute too soon! As usual, he did not disappoint…. I for one was shocked and a little disappointed with myself, when I realised how much I had got drawn in to all the fear surrounding the government changes and uncertainty in SA at the moment. After a few minutes of listening to the man speak, I was hopeful and inspired again.

So rather than worry about what might happen, let’s ask how what is happening serves us and how whatever happens will serve us? What oppurtunities will open up? How can we make a diiference? How can we empower ourselves and help those around us to do the same so that together, we are an empowered nation that adapts to change and becomes a global force in the world?

What I know for sure is that I love this country – and while change is scary – it is also inevitable and our ability to adapt to change is what will determine the amount of joy we have in our lives and where we choose to play in this game of life. What I also know for sure, is that leaving this country also comes with a host of changes and uncertainties and almost feels like a betrayal (for me at least).

So I have made a decision to be one of the people who will stay and do whatever I can to empower myself and my family and give others to permission to do the same and hopefully, together we can make a difference in South Africa. John gave us a quote last night (not sure who it was that orginally said it) but it goes something like this: “never underestimate the power of just one person or a small group of people to make a difference and change the world, for in fact, it is the only thing that ever did!”

I believe that if we start to work together and shift our perspective we CAN make a difference – so let’s celebrate what is right with South Africa and be grateful for what we have! It would be nice if a few of you would support me on this and give some postive feedback (cos it’s pretty much guranteed that I will get challenged on this big time!) So what do you love about South Afriva? What can we celebrate?
