A little bit about myself and Inspiration by Sibo
Hey there,
I’m Sibo Hlabangana. I’ll also answer to African Queen, if you feel like being kind:-) In brief, I’m a 40 year old dreamer who is a writer and speaker. I currently live in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I’m also the author of 6 books, 4 of which are available on Amazon. The other 2 are free and available for download under the section “My books.”
I don’t know what brought you here but I’m glad you came. Welcome to my internet home, that consists of a sharing of learning whether from books, podcasts, experience and any other way. I’m on a personal development journey and started this blog to share what I was learning in case it could prove beneficial to someone out there. As I learn more I discover exactly how much I don’t know so I’m enjoying this lifetime self actualization journey I’m on. Not all content here is by me, some is from guest contributors. If you’d like to contact me, my email address is sibohlab@gmail.com.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you’ll come again.
Cheers, Sibo.
If you still want to know a little bit more…
I think I’m funny but it’s usually only me that sees it because I enjoy living in my head quite a bit.
When I was about 6 years old, I got chucked out of the school choir because I couldn’t sing. It hurt but it was true. What they didn’t know is that I would later discover karaoke.
I love reading. When I discovered a love of reading, I used to dream of being locked in the library so I could just read forever.
I also enjoy watching and listening to different podcasts.
I’m fascinated by the mind, how it works, how malleable it is and what a mystery it really is. I like to use myself as a guinea pig to see if what I’m learning about the mind is true.
My favorite poem is The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer.
I prefer certain numbers like 3, 5, 15 and dislike some to the extent that I have to change the volume on the TV or car radio so I don’t have to see them.
I enjoy meaningful conversations, heart to hearts and deep conversations with people that are real and authentic, especially when it’s one on one or a few people.
Although I love people, I enjoy being alone. As a result I’m not a fan of surprise visits, surprise parties and things like that. I tend to follow a routine and find it difficult to pretend to be happy when it’s been disrupted in some way.
Finally, I believe turning to God when I was lost was the best decision I’ve ever made. You know those irritating people who put up profile pictures with things like “I can’t keep calm because I love God?” I’m one of them. Don’t ask how it happened because I used to be the first one to vilify them. Shows you how much God has worked in me.
With love, Sibo.
