The Attitude Of Gratitude

Good Day
Scary but a sad reality. It has been years since I took the time to add another blog about this gay guy which started his blog in 2011. Guess it is time for another blog post. I would like to chat about The Attitude Of Gratitude today.

My Life has seen a copious amount of ups and downs from 2013 to date. My career changed, my needs changed, my whole life changed to be quite honest. I went from working for an employer to working for myself. Surprisingly even my detrimental love life took a turn for the better. I have been working on a committed long-term relationship for about just short of a year now and even more surprisingly with the same stunning individual.

Career Update
Well I inevitably resigned from my position as National Sales Manager at the IT company I spent a considerable amount of time at. This episode was one of the best opportunities which made itself prevalent at a very pivotal time in my life. I went from executive management to educating myself in the field again with active sales experience. This was a mindset to which I had to adapt to but luckily I managed to do so with ease. The Sales opportunity pushed me to empower me by bringing 57% revenue into a company where my cv was the weakest.

I wanted to be number ONE and achieved that goal. Needless to say, I nearly became a monster in doing so. May I just mention that I will be forever grateful for the things I learned in the time I felt the urge to push myself. After realizing what I was busy turning into I needed to force myself to make urgent changes to find my core and revive the old person I used to be. I had no idea what to do with regards to finding my solace again however life whispered to me and I listened. An extraordinary opportunity presented itself by accident I think...

Entrepreneurship knocked on my door and this opportunity was taken with scepticism at first. Things started to fall into place without me even comprehending what I was about to tackle. Being that gay guy refusing to give up I continued to proceed with what I thought best with the famous Lenovo slogan "For those who just DO" driving me from pillar to post. Actions and ideas started to turn into a new reality leading to a chapter called BAX2BIZ - YOUR BUSINESS LIFEGUARD. This to me was just a dream or rather a conversation with my dear life partner Wynand stemming from a casual chat a week before my new opportunity came to life.

I was scared of making the same mistakes and had so much to learn but in desperate and urgent need of money. Currently I am still working on this gift life gave me and hope it will continue to keep on growing. In the spirit of The Attitude Of Gratitude let me take the time to say thank you to the powers that be...


Love Life Gossip
Well as mentioned before, there is another half or rather a partner in my life making me feel complete. We have been together for 40 days short of a year now and started sharing a chapter called LOVE together. You are right in thinking that I potentially might have roofied him into staying but this was not the case. This beautiful person who came into my life made the decision to stick through the good times and the bad times. I can only say thank you for this blessing and embrace each day I have the privilege of spending a life with Wynand. Like all relationships we have our ups and downs but proud to say more good times than bad times. We experienced rich days and poor days, but at least one thing stayed consistent... the love and respect for each other never has never taken the back seat and this my contribution to The Attitude Of Gratitude.

Enough said for now as I conclude this blog and continue to be a gay guy living "Life in the GAY fast lane..."
