Getting more personal

I'm happy to announce that I've moved my blog to a new personalised branded address: http://www.izzonline.co.za/ which is right where you are now. The old address will from now on no longer be treated as a live blog and will outdate. In all future visits, please dial http://www.izzonline.co.za/ . Isn't that easy to remember when you need to refer a friend to!

Thank you for your support and I'm busy thinking of more daily writings to put here for the next four months. Yes, the year has gone by just before our eyes, hands and energies. Make sure the rest of it doesn't go by before your very dreams. That will not be good a feeling at the end of the year when your emotions automatically go into stock taking mode and you discover, to your shame, that not much of value has been attempted, done, or achieved in the year that is the 007.

In case you hadn't noticed during July (07), 2007 was the only year in our lifetime to have the lucky number sequence, the jackpot: 7.7.7. I'm happy to announce that I took full exploiting advantage of it as I used it to rocket launch myself into achieving my childhood dream of writing a book - and boy is the book going well (I'm even toying with a plan to self-publish so you can bet it will be on the shelves and Amazon.com, without doubt or rejection slip collection from you know who.

And it is on the 07 07 07 that I laid my first sentence and in fact, created the entire plot and characters of the story. These words sounds vain, but the story and the writing are brilliant. Anyways, this entry was about custom domain http://www.izzonline.co.za/, which is a bit vain itself. Pardon me, for it is rare of my nature.

Exhilaratingly spooky and freaking dumbfounding

Those are my words describing my mood this morning after realising that I’ve made my first step to greatness by leaping or rather rocketing out of my sheepskin that I’d worn for over a decade. A decade of mediocrity and sorrow, and of course, mixed with fun, growth and love too. The challenge that comes with this infinite liberty will be extreme, but I hear a voice inside me say that it’s “okay”. That “the internal elements of such extremes are only there to guide you and mould you into what you’ve always desired to be”.

Immediately after seating at my desk here at work, I called my wife to share with her my ‘super natural’ anti-climax - (‘super natural’ because it was so difficult to arrive at this starting line), I’d believed that the start will be super natural. That some super natural force will come to me to help me get to the start.

But what I shared with my wife on the phone were news of a simple yet beautiful feeling of peace and quietness from within me. That the battles I’d embarked on for over ten years have now summed up to mean something: an arrival at a start called ‘the responsible path to greatness’ – and a least travelled one at that, for many do still wear the sheepskin that I’ve just shed (although it was shed over a longer time and I still have to peel off the itsy bitsy itching and annoying remnants her and there).

Let me not say too much of what happened in the last 24 hours but that on trying to fish meaning by sharing with my wife my insight, we both deduced that I made the call during the hour of 7am and I’d planned to dry fast so that I can shed off this sheepskin for good and commemorate a deeper connection with the joy, peace and birthpower from within me – the fast is on 07.07.07. The metaphor in that was oceans away from my mind and heart, but my wife simply said 777 is conventionally a jackpot.

There you go – 07.07.07 is the starting line to the thin path to greatness and infinite joy for me and I plan to share every moment of that with people along the way!
