The Cape Town branch committee would like to wish all members a prosperous and successful 2015 – may all your plans and wishes for 2015 become a reality. Remember to have goals with purpose, Jack Canfield said it very well: “It’s not an accident that musicians become musicians and engineers become engineers: it’s what they’re born to do. If you can tune into your purpose and really align with it, setting goals so that your vision is an expression of that purpose, then life flows much more easily.”
