#10 How to become anything you want - no matter where you’re coming from - George Kaingob

It's one thing to say you can achieve anything you want in life if you come from a privileged white background...

It's a totally different ballgame if you are black, come from a humble background in the outskirts of Windhoek, Namibia, if your mum single-handedly has to raise 17 children, you go to bed hungry every second night and there is only basic education available for you...

But despite all this my friend George Kaingob has always believed that "no matter where you are coming from, you can be anything you want in life!" And he is a living example that with the right mindset and determination, this is true ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 

With the belief and ambition to build the life he dreamed of, George has created a wonderful life, learned languages, worked his way up and become a successful but more importantly extremely happy man.

 

Geore is an inspiration! And I am proud to call him a friend. When I was last in Namibia we sat down next to a waterhole and while watching the game come for a drink, we recorded a podcast - so that the world can hear George's inspiring story.

 

His story is toughing, inspiring, beautiful...

 

George has an incredibly positive mindset in everything he does and believes that everyone can achieve anything they want, no matter where they come from. What helps him immensely to maintain this mindset and overcome difficulties is spending time in nature and using nature's healing powers. Further, he shares why he prefers doing smaller continuous steps to achieve his goals instead of big, risky steps. This tells a lot about his understanding of responsibility and how much he feels connected to his community. The most important thing to him: helping other people help themselves, with tools instead of money. Finally, George has a crucial message for us that could not be more motivating: “Time does not wait for anyone. It is always better to get up and do what you need to do.” Thank you George!
