Exited to start reading this!!!

"Start your own business," they said. "It'll be fun," they said. "You'll make good money," they said. "You'll have freedom," they said. "There's no stress," they said. Meanwhile, yesterday... 🚗 Flat tyre. 🚛 My client's trailer got stuck and nearly took my wall down. ⚙️ Two shredders with stripped gears. 🔧 Steering wheel clock spring broken. 💸 Bank account under pressure. 😅 One business owner wondering what else could possibly go wrong. The reality of owning a business isn't always what people see on social media. It's early mornings, long hours, sleepless nights, unexpected breakdowns, problem-solving on the fly, and somehow finding the strength to keep going when everything seems to go wrong at once. But every challenge teaches you something, and every setback makes you stronger. To every small business owner fighting battles that nobody else sees—keep going. Better days are coming. 💪🙏

Hi everyone! I’m Charmaine Engelbrecht, and I’m from Johannesburg. I’m grateful to be part of this community and excited to connect with others on this journey of faith. Right now, I’m trusting God to reveal more of His purpose for my life, restore areas that need healing, and strengthen my faith as I continue to grow. I’m looking forward to learning, encouraging others, and experiencing what God has in store through this community.

We deserve the best life and love has to offer, but we are each faced with the challenge of learning to identify what that means in our life. We must each come to grips with our own understanding of what we believe we deserve, what we want and whether we are receiving it. There is only one place to start, and that is right where we are, in our current circumstances. The place we begin with is us. What hurts? What makes us angry? What are we whining and complaining about? Are we discounting how much a particular behaviour is hurting us? Are we making excuses for the other person? Are we reluctant to tackle issues that might be hurting us? Do we know what is hurting us and do we know that we have the right to stop the pain? We can begin a journey from deprived to deserving. We can start it today. We can also be patient and gentle with ourselves as we travel from believing that we are worthless to knowing in our hearts that we deserve the best, and taking responsibility for that. Pay attention to how you allow other people to treat you and how it makes you feel. Also, pay attention how you treat other people. That is usually a great indicator about what you believe about your own self worth. Have a super weekend everybody! You are loved! Hykie

Hi I'm Chané a 27 year old young adult who relocated from Cape Town to Stilbay 5 years ago.What brought me here was that the positive attitude of Hykie Berg and the fact that I need some help in life. I would want to improve of where I'm at in life right now because it feels like I'm not going anywhere. I feel like I'm stuck and that my hands are tired down.
