JP Duminy talks about the power of humility in our world. Humility is defined as self-limiting but it can also create a better future for us all by serving others with love and compassion. On the contrary, he also shares what pride meant. Pride is a dangerous emotion because it has the word 'I' in its center. JP warns us to beware, for pride can lead us astray and make things difficult or even impossible sometimes!

What is the REAL meaning of success? Is it a hard concept to measure and, if so, why do we care so much about this notion anyways in our lives? What doesn't count as "real" successes when measuring up against others' definitions--or even your own personal set standards for what qualifies? If these questions pop into your mind or come barreling out at any given moment without warning (especially late at night) then that's where today’s video comes into play. Join Bertie and JP Duminy as they discuss what success is and what it’s not.

JP Duminy shares his definition of success. He states that it is not material possessions, but rather setting goals and achieving them. Success could be a goal for today or your life's goal as long as you keep succeeding at accomplishing what you set out to do.

If you’ve never thought about serving before, we hope this video will give you some food for thought. Join Bertie and JP as they discuss servanthood and the cost that comes with it.

Have you ever asked yourself "What does it really cost to serve?" or "What really is the cost of serving others?" Serving goes against our natural tendencies to look out for ourselves and what we can get instead of focusing on what we can do to help somebody else grow in their life or change the world around them. Servanthood is a core value that we must develop because as Christians, we must have a servant heart just as how Jesus taught his disciples.

Every great service, no matter the size or scope, costs you something at some point in your life. Practice servanthood in your marriage, in your family, and with friends. The greatest joy and fulfillment comes from seeing how we can impact other people's lives–so don't be afraid of putting yourself out there when it comes to service! The reward is so worth the effort!

Today JP tells us that he used to be a lazy player before he decided to wake up and give his best efforts.

He agreed with Bertie that South Africans are lazy; we look for shortcuts and want to get the most for the least amount of effort. He reckons that if we strive to give our best efforts we will be able to turn around our reputation. Sometimes when we put in our best effort and still do not get the results we wanted, it is disappointing, but it does not mean that we failed. It will always be good enough to give your best, regardless of the outcome or results. In a sporting context, we get so hungry for results, and our identity is shaped on the outcome, that we lose focus of the effort we actually put in.
