Fear can be your friend.
I've been swimming for nearly 40 years, and I've been frightened before almost every major swim.
At the North Pole, I felt raw fear as I was about to dive into the freezing water. And more recently, when I swam around Martha’s Vineyard, I was certainly worried about what might be swimming beneath me. The island has become a global hotspot for great white sharks.
Over the years, I've learnt that the best thing to do is not to fight fear, but to accept it.
Fear makes me prepare more carefully, listen to those around me, and question my own assumptions. Those are all good things.
I'm preparing for another swim now. The dangers are very different this time. But I know fear will be coming with me again. And I'll be listening.

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RASSIE ERASMUS! THE UNDISPUTED KING OF RUGBY TURNS 54 🇿🇦
Rassie Erasmus turns 54 today — 36 Tests as a Springbok flanker, every one of them as a starter, and then a coaching career that rewrote what South Africa expects from the green and gold.
Two World Cups. Three Rugby Championships. A Lions series. The Freedom Cup three years running. The most-capped Springbok head coach in history after passing Jake White's record at Loftus in July, a Gold Ikhamanga from the state in May, and a contract that runs all the way to 2031.

🗣️ "Thirty-six Tests and he started every single one of them. People forget Rassie was a serious player long before he was a serious coach!" – 🎙️Jay
⸻
And the detail most fans still don't know: he was on chemotherapy for a rare autoimmune disease before and during the 2019 World Cup, and the country only found out seven months after the trophy came home.

After a long time, I told my hot coworker how I felt. Turns out she felt the same way.
So I turned on the air conditioning.
“No weapon formed against me shall prosper! If God is for me, who can be against me! I am more than a conqueror through Jesus!”
There's no need to tell social media you're working out at the gym. Not unless you fall off the stair stepper like they guy next to me did!!
I won't dare question God why I undergo trials and challenges. Because I never questioned Him when I experienced joy and victory.

You can be broke today and financially stable tomorrow. Depressed today and joyful tomorrow. Sick today and healed tomorrow. Lonely today and loved tomorrow. Jobless today and employed tomorrow.
That's how God works! Nothing is too hard for God!

Someone asked, "When God is silent, what keeps you hopeful?" My response, "His track record." – at Lagos, Nigeria
