Le Shoutout 🧣

Last week, Dricus Du Plessis joined the KFM team for the morning.

After a few jokes, Dricus spoke about the moment he chose to pursue professional fighting instead of rugby.

“It was either rugby or fighting,” he said. “I couldn’t do both.”

He was good at rugby, and fighting was rough, and nothing was certain, so the decision was tough.

“The thing is, we can’t half-heart what we do in life,” he continued, “When faced with two options, we need to commit to one.”

This weekend, Dricus successfully retained his title.

He hit Sean Stickland. Sean Strickland hit him back.

Afterwards, battered and bruised, they both went home.

The sun went down.

The sun came back up.

Win or not, one thing was the same for both fighters:

A new day had arrived.

It was a new dawn.

The fight was done.

Shoutout, Dricus and Sean.

Le Snippet 📖

The other day, I saw Mohammed outside the gym.

“Mohammed, people like the haircut you gave me, thank you.”

“Mike, I’m so glad. Come back soon.”

“I will, sir, I will.”

I returned a few days later.

Le Story ✍️

Last year, while driving to Greyton, Jess and I stopped at the Peregrine Farm Stall.

As we entered, we chuckled. Thanks to her dress, Jess blended beautifully into the bushes.

If she were in a war, fighting her fight while wearing the outfit she wore, there would be no better place to stand than in front of the hedge at the Peregrine Farm Stall.

As they say, “It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war”.

Le Neigh from Philosophical Horse 🐴

“Neigh.” – Philosophical Horse.

Le Question 🤔

In every decision, there will always be something you miss out on.

If you choose A, you miss out on B.

If you choose B, you miss out on A.

The other day, while standing with my physio, Andrew Gray, he said there was one more element to the A or B equation.

“You can either choose A, or you can choose B,” he said. “Or, you can sit in the middle, choosing neither. Indecision is the third element. It’s a triangle.”

What do you need to decide?

Have a powerful Monday, everyone.

Remember to send this to someone who finds meaning in life’s smallest moments.
