Dream big and be the agent of your own life

In a world shaped by systems one’s mindset is the one thing that can set one free, and set one apart.

It’s not your background, your bank account, or even your education that determines your future; it’s the way you think. All these things are useless when the mind is blind.

When you dare to think differently, to question what’s around you and craft your own path you step into your power. That's what truly separates those who succeed from those who settle.

I learnt this early, not from textbooks but from watching people accept the life they never chose. Where I come from in the Boland it’s common to see young people finish school only to end up in predictable jobs on farms, in restaurants, behind counters. Honest work, yes, but not always born from dreams. Too often it’s just what’s available. Just what's handed to you.

But what if we didn’t accept what's handed to us?
