Suezette Smit is a global leadership coach, an inspirational speaker and an author. It was a pleasure being a guest on her radio show "Vroue wat Voorloop" - "Women on the Move", aired on Radio Klein Karoo.

In this hour of meaningful conversation, we speak about the poignant issues of life, faith, love, loss, the world of business, creativity, and inspiration and it is interspersed with pieces of music that will uplift and inspire you.

In the words of my guest, Wes Boshoff, "For far too long we have given our destinations and our decisions and largely, our lives to others. During the course of our lives, we are both passengers and pilots." So what then drives the decision to make the transition from one to the other?

Listen to this impactful podcast for inspiration to be in command of the controls of your life with God as your Pilot. Wes overflows with gems for life-change, redirection and he talks about how to view crises in your life as events. We all go through them. Not everyone has a sure landing. This conversation aligns with my book content, Turn It Around. It is possible to turn around, find a new flight path and reach new altitudes.

Enjoy a few of Wes' life quotes...

Purpose is not safe, but living without it is dangerous.

Today might not be "a win", but it is an audition for tomorrow's success.

It may be a shot in the dark, but that is the best way to see fireworks.

Give energy to courage, give focus to attention, and give yourself to your purpose.

Urgency over accuracy can end up taking longer.

We can live under rules, or we can rise to standards.

I mention on the podcast that Corien wrote the foreword to my book "Turn It Around". Here is a glimpse into her journey.

BY A TRAVELLER WHO CHOSE TO TAKE THE HIGHER ROAD IN LIFE...

I’ve realized that to turn your life around is a process; sometimes a long one. Whether it is a desire for transformation or an area of trouble or doubt, there is a process that you must undergo to change your perception. It definitely does not happen at first thought or overnight. For change to be permanent, you have to revolutionize the way you think. Old habits that may have worked through some stages of your life have to be replaced with new ones. It is indeed a renewal of the mind.

To form those new pathways in the brain is a daily choice. If you are willing to brave the wilderness and walk through the desert on this one, the reward will far surpass your effort. Forming new pathways creates the opportunity to believe that what may have been viewed as impossible is now possible. The process is partly challenging your own belief patterns to such an extent that you can know that what was impossible before now seems within reach, even though everything in your everyday world is screaming out that you must be crazy.

I had to fight many giants in my own neural pathways to renew my mind and create new corridors of thinking. Somewhere in all my frustration, tears and failures, there were days of breakthrough and victory. The journey demanded that I turn my perceptions around and correct my perspectives. I learned that perception is looking at a situation through man’s eyes. Therefore it is subject to change. Perspective, however, is looking at a situation through God’s eyes, and with Him, there is no shadow of turning.

Perception may seem right for us at the time, but there is always the risk of blind spots (or scotomas) keeping us from the truth. Perception can keep things hidden from you, such as truths or insights that have not been explored or that are not part of your current reality. God’s perspective changes blind spots into light spots if you adapt your mind and heart to see God’s view as the truth, instead of focusing on your own perception, you will soon have insights revealed to you. You will recognize how unfounded lies have misshaped and distorted your world.
