"The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That's all you have to do. Change is not something you do, it's something you allow." - Will Garcia

In her role as a speaker, facilitator and trainer, Thandi communicates how others, 'especially those of us that have been battered by life's challenges', see how the problems in our life can really be an opportunity.

"The challenges I have been through have been the triggers that have steered me to my life and purpose; a place of acceptance, self love and validation.

The problems we go through invite us to go inside ourselves to recognize a bigger picture of ourselves and of life. This bigger picture brings meaning to what is unfolding. When you feel trapped in a problem, see if you can change your perspective. Ask yourself, 'What is my soul inviting me to learn from this experience?' The answer will always revolve around a quality or value, like gratitude, freedom, compassion, love, will, humour or acceptance. The answer will also always encourage union rather than division.

As soon as we find the meaning in our difficulties, our resistance to it fades away. Usually, awareness of the lesson is all that is needed to resolve the problem. If not, the awareness brings us courage & ways to work through it".

"Ask the experienced rather than the learned." Arab Proverb
