Having Faith,Danny Jordaan Moving Up in the World, And "So You Think You Can Dance?" Being Back.

* Being reminded about what it means to have faith.Local actress - Zukisa Matola ,who has appeared in the Generations soap,and many other TV productions - had a few words to say about faith.She was quoted in the MOVE magazine of 14th July 2010.She said:

".....Faith is when you set your mind on something and believe that
it will happen.The important part about faith is what you do while
waiting for your dreams to come true.You need to draw strength from
the Word of God until something happens in your life.I used to ignore
this scripture.I would believe in God for a short period and when things
didn't happen at the time I wanted them to,I would start doubting Him.
But I have learnt that you need to believe in God for things you haven't
seen yet."

This reminder on how to have faith being timely for us here in The FGM.Things - like our Feel Good
Workshops for example - are taking time to get off the ground.These are trying times.And during such times it is easy to lose faith in one's dream.It is easy to wonder if it will ever happen.But as Ms Matola above has indicated,one must continue to believe in one's dream despite the current hard times.The idea is to never,ever give up.


* The news that Danny Jordaan - the SA FIFA Local Organizing Committee CEO - has been appointed to FIFA's inspection team.This is a six man team that is highly influential .Their job is to assess the readiness of all the countries bidding to host the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups.
After visiting the bidding countries this team will compile a report that FIFA will use in deciding on the hosts of these two World Cups.
We are just happy that Mr Jordaan has singled out for a seat in the inpecting team.This is - in a way - FIFA's acknowledgement that he did a splendid job in heading the team that successfully organised and hosted the recent FIFA Worl Cup here in South Africa.
We want to say 'nice one' to Mr Jordaan and here is hoping that even bigger things happen to you while you are there at FIFA.Maybe even the Presidency of the world body one day perhaps?Who can tell?


* One of the best reality progammes ever to be flighted by our public broacaster - the SABC - making a comeback.This past Saturday the dance reality show - "So You Think Yo Can Dance?" -
came back for its second season.It is on SABC 1 at 18.30 every Saturday.
We love this show because it is entertaining and inspiring.The different dance styles and the accompying music make for gripping television.But even better for all the dreamers out there,is to see all those hopefuls try their luck at winning the 1st prize.Needles to say, some of these dancers are not good enough to win this contest,but these guys are not lacking in self-belief.They still stood in those long lines to audition for a place in the show.And this - really - is the way to go in life.We must give our dreams the best shot,irrespective of what armchair critics are saying.


THANK YOU UNIVERSE.THANK YOU FOR MY 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the week:

Faith
______

All things hoped for,
But not seen.
All things wished for,
All things dreamt about,
But not visible.
Believing in them.
That is faith.
Having the knowldge,
Having the certainty,
That they will come.
That they will come to pass.
That is having faith.
Like that the sun will rise tomorrow,
That after Winter comes Spring.
That after the lowest of lows,
Must come an improvement.
Knowing that,
That this is so,
This is faith.

The Fantastic Way South Africa Hosted the FIFA World Cup, Spain's Win of the Same, And Madiba's Birthday.

* By all accounts South Africa doing a splendid job in hosting the FIFA World Cup.
Whether it is FIFA itself,or the many soccer fans who came to watch the games,everybody is raving about how well the tournament was organised.
The President of FIFA - Mr Sepp Blatter - gave us 9/10 for the hosting of the tournament.The soccer lovers who came to watch the games promised to come to these shores again to tour.
What can we say?
A special,special 'big up' to the LOC CEO - Danny Jordaan - and his whole team for making this World Cup such a success.A 'big up' too to our country's leaders - including our three Nobel laureates of Archbishop Tutu,Mr F W De Klerk and Mr Nelson Mandela - who brought us the World Cup by making the trip to Switzerland way back in 2004 to add weight to our bid.

Now for the other 'biggie' on the sporting front - the Olympic Games.We are ready.


* The Spanish team coming up trumps in the World Cup Final against The Netherlands last week Sunday.Spain defeated the Dutch by 1-0 in extra time.
For soccer purists this win by Spain was heartening.Spain play the game the beautiful way.Watching them move the ball from the backline,through the midfield,then on to the strikers who then make an attempt at goal, is delightful.It is like watching a chess game.An intriguing one at that,bacause the opponents will then put all of their men behind the ball to defend against this wave after wave of a Spanish attack.Like this, it then becomes just a matter of time before Spain scores and then goes on to win the game.This is exactly how it panned out against the Dutch in this Final.It was also the same story against Germany in the semi-finals, and against Portugal in the quarter-finals.
And ofcourse this Spanish way of playing - possession football with short passes - is modelled on the Barcelona FC style.Barcelona have turned this way of playing into an art form.

"Nice one Spain.Nice one."


* The fact that it is Nelson Mandela's birthday today.
Our former President is 92 years old today.It is not only his birthday today but it is also Mandela Day internationally.On this day each of us is urged to spend atleast 67 minutes of our day 'giving back' to our various communities in one way or another.
We wish to add our voice to the many birthday wishes and say:

"A Happy Birthday to you Madiba.May you not only live long,but live
long healthily.May your day - Mandela Day - galvanise the world and make
the giving of one's time to the community a worldwide phenomenon."



THANK YOU UNIVERSE.THANK YOU FOR MY 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the week:

At First They Said....
___________________

They said South Africa won't be able to.
They said SA doesn't have the infrastructure.
It lacks the organizational ability,
They said.
At first they said....
Crime in South High is too high.
The visiting football fans will be butchered.
But we showed them.
We showed them WE CAN.
We showed them we can 'hit' big.
We gave them a SMOOTH,
A WELL RUN,
And a SAFE World Cup.
Now they are saying 'Well Done'.
They are saying so from the roof tops.
Now they are saying....
Here are the Olympics.
Here is the F1 Grand Prix.
Take them.
Why?
Because YOU CAN.
You can SA.
Everybody can see that,
They are now saying.

Feeling Good with FNB Knowledge Centre, Spain Going Through to the FIFA World Cup Final, And Germany Getting Something Atleast.

* Doing a Feel Good Workshop for FNB Knowledge Centre staff this past Thursday.
On their recent 2-day breakaway at the Ngwenya Country Escape,FNB Knowledge Centre invited The FGM to come and show them what we are about.We duly went and did our 'thing'.And frankly I have never had so much fun in one afternoon in a long time.
To Liz Malebane,Stefanie Bruwer,Terry Havenga,Schalk Walters and your team,many many thanks for the opportunity you gave us.One day when the Feel Good Revolution has taken over,we will duly name streets after you guys.


* The Spanish national soccer team making it through to the FIFA World Cup Final.
Spain defeated Germany 1-0 in the second Worl Cup semi-final on Wednesday.We are delighted that Spain - who are currently the best exponents of how we love the game of football to be played - made it.Spain now has a chance to make their beautiful,passing game count where it really matters: in the most important game of the tournament.And we have no doubt that they will prevail over the Nethertherlands in tonight's Final.The energy of all the neutral fans will be fully behind them because we simply love the way they play the game.

"Viva La Roja!Viva!"


* Germany getting something atleast out of this World Cup.They got bronze medals for their 3rd place finish.This was after they beat Uruguay 3-2 yesterday in a 3rd place play-off match.
We know that they would have loved to be playing in tonight's Final.
But we are still happy for Germany nevertheless.They lit up this tournament with their attacking and high scoring football.In their 4-1 defeat of Australia,their 4-1 trashing of England and their 4-0 demolition of Argentina,they made everybody sit up and take notice.Being one of the youngest squads in this tournament,this German team had this carefree attitude in their play.These guys were enjoying themselves.And for us spectators their fast,running soccer was a lovely sight.
We want to say to the coach - Joachim Loew - and his team -:

"Thank you for the thrills."


THANK YOU UNIVERSE.THANK YOU FOR OUR 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the week:


Feeling Good
_____________

Feeling good has never,
It has never felt,
Never felt this good.
Feeling good with FNB staff,
Has never felt so wonderful.
It has never been so hilarious.
Feeling good at the Ngwenya Country Escape,
Has never been this fulfilling,
It has never been this life-affirming.
Feeling good has never felt this exhilarating.
It's good to feel good.
