Beneficial Hobbies

by Albert Wessels

I don’t want to write this blog to brag or for people to treat me differently, but this is a huge part of my life.

After hours and on weekends my hobby is kickboxing! I love the sport. I’ve done it for thirteen years.

This is no cliché, but when I do this sport, I am free. I can be anything I want to be. For those couple of hours a week, nothing else matters…

I was chosen after the South African Championships at the end of last year to represent our country at the World Champs in Paris, France at the end of 2009.

This is a dream come true. I don’t think anyone could know what this means to me. I’m going to be well prepared!

I think everyone should get a hobby outside their work environment. It helps you keep a balanced life.

The confidence I get from my hobby helps me in every aspect of my life.

I am grateful that I can share this wonderful priviledge with everyone.

Remember, change your thought and the world around you changes!
