2010 - are you ready?

I woke up at 4AM this morning for my Heat 2010 calendar shoot. I will be featured with 11 other guys, including my friend Jaco de Bruyn*. He is the well-deserved winner of the 2009 Heat Manwatch competition, and, hopefully, will also do well in the upcoming Heat Hot 100 contest. On that note, I would like to say thanks & show my humble appreciation for a really great friend. *Thanks, Jaco, you're the best friend I could ever ask for! I have learnt so much from you and I'm looking forward to being mates with you until we sit on the stoep as old men and fart like donkeys, laughing about the 'good old days,' LOL. Much respect to you my friend - we'll make it far, I know! Just have the faith & perseverance.

The year 2010 is upon us. South Africa will be hosting the biggest sporting event in its history - the Soccer World Cup (during the month of June). I am excited to be part of this momentous occasion. That said, my little bit of advice for the day would be to ensure that you too have a plan for the new year. We often get into the routine of everyday life and forget to focus on our goals & ambitions. Start making your list of what you'd like to achieve in 2010, now! Then, make a list of what you need to do, to achieve those goals. Finally, make a third list of what you need to get rid of to pursue those goals. Surely, this will put you in a better position to grasp the urgency of working towards your dreams. If that all fails, just pick up Donald Trump's new book, "Think Like a Champion" - it's an easy read and will most certainly inspire you! A new year is always another opportunity to look ahead and get a little closer to the things you'd rather be doing.

Have a blessed weekend. Much love. XX

PS: Do yourself a favour and read this book! >>
