Me with a hero

I decided on this because one of my dreams is to represent South Africa in the Olympics in swimming.

This is a portrait of me and Cameron vd Burg where I edited me with him. It serves as motivation for me and allows me to see myself in that position. It is still a long way for me to go but I am getting there.

I believe it will benefit anybody to picture themselves in the position where they want to end up and will make you see that you actually look like you belong in that position.

The Sound Of Conflict

In today's modern times we are faced with conflict in our everyday lives...
Conflict between nations
Conflict within our selfes
Conflict within our believes
Conflict between what is really right and what is wrong

There is conflict in us all and this charcoal sketch is simbolic of that. The grenade simbolises our conflict within us and cary with us, the hand is us holding that 'conflict', you can see the grenade is being hold like you do not know what to do... the pin is already pulled and your holding a ticking time bomb.... u have to decide: do u hold on to it and take responsibility and find the an answer to what is eating you from the inside OR do you throw that conflict away from u and towards someone else and make it their problem?

You have to think long and hard on this because you have to live with the aftermath of it all, and it won't be easy to decide because will u hurt other people just so u don't have to face your problem or do you hurt yourself and earn the respect of your peers by embaresment or humility? How hard is it for YOU to accept defeat? For YOU to admit you were wrong? To take that responsibility?

As you are reading this your brain automatically chooses to take the humility because it seems to be the right thing to do... the honourable thing to do BUT when faced with this conflict most of us would throw that grenade so far away from our selfes and not think twice about it.....
