The Scrutineering Book II – Lessons From the Track

In motorsport, the scrutineer is king. And for good reason. Imagine hurtling around a race circuit with unsafe cars — the danger isn’t just to the driver, but to everyone sharing the track. I remember one of my early races. The scrutineer took one look at my car and instructed me to clamp and secure [...]

The Power of Writing Things Down

When I began this journey of sharing my thoughts, I also committed to keeping a daily journal. At first, I wasn’t sure what to do with it. But over time, it has become a trusted ally—a quiet space where I can lay down my questions, worries, and curiosities, and let my thoughts respond. Writing has [...]

Do You Really Care?

Are you simply going through the motions because that’s what you’ve always done, or is there a real connection? Do you truly care for the people around you? I see so much love and care for the people of Lewenskruispaaie. It’s not the obvious, hug-filled, touchy kind of warmth, but rather a quieter, steadier sense [...]

Scrutineering Book

Many of you know about my love for motorsport. Before family life took the wheel, I raced Formula Vees—and I’m proud to say I once competed on the old Kyalami Grand Prix circuit. That chapter of my life taught me a lot, especially about preparation. The importance of being ready—truly ready—was something I learned firsthand. [...]

Don’t Take It Personally

Why do you hurt me so? It’s a question we’ve all asked—maybe silently, maybe through clenched teeth—when someone lashes out at us unfairly. The truth is, life has a way of slapping us in the face now and then. But here’s the thing: it’s rarely personal. Often, we’re just in the wrong place at the [...]

Lesson to Learn

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of celebrating John’s 90th birthday. John is a friend’s father—a man of dignity and grace. Most of his friends and peers have passed on. John stands like a bastion of what was great in the world. But today, his message of living with a firm reminder of the past is [...]

Taking action

We’ve spoken about taking action. We’ve discussed our attitude of gratitude, and we’ve explored positivity in the face of so much negativity around us. Many of you said, “Yes!” So, how do we turn simple words into meaningful action? How do we work together to build momentum around positivity? I’d like to invite a few [...]

Do You Seek Approval?

re you vying for acceptance from someone? A partner, parent, sibling, child, or colleague? Is their non-acceptance causing you to doubt yourself? How silly. You are okay. You are created in God’s image—and He does not make junk. Don’t let the impression of rejection ooze into your very being and make you doubt yourself. Refocus, [...]

Bubbles

I told you about a man who rose above adversity to become a leading light in his field in the UK. “Bubbles” is his nickname, and he is a living library of how things can go wrong—and how to right them. He spoke of seeking escape from the hardships of a dysfunctional life through drugs. [...]
