“In life, we all have to make sacrifices in order to become better at certain things we weren’t better at before, and by making sacrifices, this will make us all become stronger in ourselves, all of us will also believe in ourselves more for the sacrifices we’ve made, and at the end, all of the hard work and effort will pay off. Make sacrifices to make ends meet, and also make sacrifices so that all of the hard work and effort you’ve made pays dividends.” – Alex Smithson
“Define yourself as someone who has the energy to reach their potential and become the best at something.
Don’t define yourself to look like you’ve got no potential. Define yourself to show everyone what you can do, and not the other way around.
Don’t let anyone define you and make you into something that makes you look like the bad character. Define yourself as a good character, and go and strive for every opportunity that’s available.
Take a chance, make a change, and do the things you want to do, all for the right reasons.” – Alex Smithson
“Don’t hate yourself. Love yourself and be strong for yourself. Don’t let anyone bring you down. Ride through the pain and you’ll get through it with strength, determination and courage. Remember this, you have to go through the pain in order to become stronger, not just on the outside, but also on the inside.” – Alex Smithson
“Lifelines are thrown at us to help us get stronger at what we do.
Make the most of every opportunity wisely and make those opportunities you get worth your while.
Go for every opportunity available now whilst you still can, because they might never come around again in your life.” – Alex Smithson
“Hey, always remember this. Be who you want to be & don’t let the world form you into something you’re not. Make the world accept you.” – MarQuis Trill

“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” – Milton Berle

Stunning picture, usually these sun sets, and sun rises are caused by pollution an dust particles in the air, though find when there are clouds there is often a great sunset or sunrise or both. In Cape Town the colour comes over Table Mountain and the Constantiaberg, which adds to the spectacle. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.

Thank you so much for your kind words on this photograph, Charles, it really means a lot. Originally, the photo wasn’t like this as the trees were initially covered by light on my kitchen window, though I edited this photo for when I published it on Instagram, and then I published it on here because I loved the end result of this photograph after I edited it considering it, for me, really captured the true essence of the baking hot Summer weather we recently experienced.
I must admit, I do hope to travel abroad at some point as I want to travel the world and soak in the sights.
I bet it is lovely in Cape Town, and I bet Table Mountain and the Constantiaberg are sights for sore eyes. Mind you, Cape Town seems to have quite an exquisite and photographic look about it.
Best wishes and blessings to you too, Charles.

Hi Alex, Cape Town is indeed a special place, it has its problems (where doesn’t!) the mountains are like our grand parents looking after us, as they curl round us lovingly, and even though one is living in a huge city the feal is relaxed, and one is surrounded by nature and our wonderful mountains and beaches and the sea. Had you not have told me you had changed the photo I would have been none the wiser, but it was a wonderful picture. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.
