For the month of April I decided I would challenge myself physically and do 100 push-ups a day. A very straightforward challenge however it can get difficult to do it day in and day out. The main reason why I decided to do it was actually to build up strength so that I can do … Continue reading Doing 100 push-ups a day is stupid

Risk Taking
I recently read this book by Bear Grylls: Mud, Sweat and Tears. After going to the GLS summit last year I watched Bear give a testimony on his life and how to keep that fire going on in yours. He has always been a significant person in my life for his adventurous spirit and the … Continue reading Risk Taking

'...What!' 'Yes, she's gone' Just before the plane was about to commence take off. The most … Continue reading Mommy
Cold showers
In the month of February I decided I would take a cold shower everyday regardless of the weather. The only time where I did not take a cold one was when I didn't shower at all that day, so I would say it was a pretty successful challenge. And for those in the northern hemisphere … Continue reading Cold showers

Dancing in the flames To quantify the pain All that's made is dust What can we change? Oxygen infused Dazed and confused Born to rust In what can we trust?
