Spirit is about going after what you want with everything you want without doubting yourself. Never listen to the external noise that something is Impossible. As long as it is in your heart then you need to chase it. Being South African, you need to represent where you come from. You need to represent that to the fullest and not let anything bring you down. You need to have the Spirit to face those dreams.
