Who are you drinking coffee with? Irrespective of who, hopefully it's with a
in hand.

Seriously, however, your friends and mentors make up who you are and who you will become(Jim Collins in Good to Great).

It's so important to check in with ourselves on whether we are serving these people as we should and whether their presence in our lives is truly intentional and beneficial. Our relationships with people are always a give and take, and it's also always a determinant of growth or the lack thereof.

Now, not all of us are extremely passionate about growing and developing every single day, but ask yourself this: what will 10 years from now you think of the choices you make today?

IMPACT IN MOTION

The reason being active weighs so hard on our hearts is because of a deeper drive to do meaningful things. It's not just a run or a cycle, it's cycling for a group of boys you've never met, but that you know you are impacting. Without our awareness and fundraising, where might these young men end up? Without us stepping into places of being fathers or older brothers, where would these communities be?

I'm not saying that a few runs up and down a mountain will change the world, but what it can do is change a single person's life. That person could go on and become president one day,
and impact even more lives. You see, there is something deeply fulfilling in doing things with intention. The challenge is to find ways in life where your actions can positively impact others...why? So we can fullproof ourselves against the excuses of being too busy or having too little impact.

Let your everyday motions, become intentional and you will see the impact!

Intensity vs Consistency. Doing something in a powerful burst and then forgetting about it, or doing a little bit every single day...which one do you think is ideal? 📐

It's and as always we have shaven down in support of men's health and research for a cure for testicular cancer. It's also so it seemed fit to explain why we take this so seriously.

In my direct family and family inlaw I've experienced the loss of family members by su***de...both male. I've never understood depression on such a level as to want to take your own life and much less understood it when one weekend your sitting next to your loved one at a braai and the next they're gone. I've never shied away from my opinion on su***de, but to this day don't grasp the grip of depression. My mission with Movember and growing a silly moustache every year is to at least create a space to talk about these things and to enlighten myself. I would also like to create a space (even beyond this month) for men to be open about how they feel and learn how to grow out of a dark place and become a change maker in society. I also hope that the little contributions we make contribute to science kicking testi cancer in the balls.

Please join me on a run or a cycle or a coffee this month and let's get chatting!

It's almost November, which means it's almost 2023. So with that in mind...how are you planning to see through the end of the year and head into the new one? 📟

How are you collaborating with the world around you?

101 posts in, we have 300 odd followers, our website is still a free one and we are still figuring out how to consistently turn our passion into a reliable income stream. It's been 6 years since I started the company and only God and the people closest to me knows how I have tried to get it going. Would I take anything back? No. There has been so many lessons over the years that owning a 'company' has taught me. My perspective on live has been torn apart and built up countless times Living the 3 L's have brought me to weird and wonderful places and through all this time, the little seedling I got from Ryan Fair in 2018 as grown to more than a metre high tree in my back yard. I know there's a reason that we haven't grown to a multimillion rand, 100k follower brand yet and I am perfectly happy with that. Until we do though, thank you to everyone who's here. 🤛🏼 - Thornton

Life it too short not to have a "kwasoh" in the morning. 🥐

Nature teaches us a lot about ourselves. Patience, Endurance and Peace. The green open pastures don't rush the rain and neither do they stop growing at the first signs of winter.

To learn from nature however, we have to spend time with her. Get out there. 🌿

Have a victorious weekend. 🏆

Monday Evening Thoughts

As a burning flame in a winter fireplace lights up and heats a living room, it not only sets the tone and atmosphere but it welcomes it's onlookers to a beautiful tune of crackling wood and dancing flames. I wonder as I look on in solitude at this picture, if I ever have the same affect on people. Does my presence bring the welcoming peace of a fireplace or do I leave a cold feeling in the air? My self reflection brings me to a place where I ask the above question of everyone I come in to contact with. Do you think how you make people feel or how you leave them? Do you wonder how you can become more welcoming or make your inner self dance like the flames in order to touch the soul of another?

I welcome the self reflection a fireplace brings because it helps me not only to understand myself better, but to better be the light to a dim world out there.

Last bit of grafting for Friday, and then the Weekend starts. Have a good one. 👌🏼

"When I feel a block, I feel it completely and earth-shatteringly and when the flow comes, it comes in abundance. I write here, because the pen wants to...I write there because the story of a stranger in the street is too captivating to leave unwritten."

Have a Happy Weekend (🌲)

"Being a light in a dull world or moment is just what the planet needs, so keep on being that."

Our great big social media silence was completely by accident. No detox, no social media program we are following, no Senior Director of Marketing telling us to purposefully remain quite on socials to create a need in our customers' lives in order to fulfill it months later and ultimately boost our sales (spoiler alert, we don't have a Senior Director of Marketing). We just simply forgot to post...but we are back dear people. That's all.

Our latest blog post is up! Hope you understand Legonese 🗣️
