Oh Dennis, I'm so happy that I finally found this video! As one of the persons that was managed by you, I want you to know that you were by far one of my best managers ever! Taking in consideration that I've been in sales for 20+ years and that you are almost half my age... That is a huge feat! I have an immense amount of respect for you. You are incredibly brave, kind, honest, and wise beyond your years. Always stay true to yourself and your beliefs. You are on the right path my friend, never doubt in yourself or your ability! 🤗

Wassup Definers🙌🏿🔥 Here's the first DMC for the year😅. Please share your thoughts and life update below😁

I just realised that a bulk of your content is basically testimonies. "We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony" . You have no idea how important your content is to today's society, specifically the youth . God could not have allowed you to struggle because of this fact. The fact that the company was not willing to let you go speaks volumes 🙌... God's word says "come to me all who are heavy laden and I shall give you rest" ... this scripture is your story. It's incredibly humbling to watch God's favour in your life and how He uses you to expand His Kingdom!

Back in October I failed my year project.I was so stressed about the future.But I had hope that somewhere in the world I would get funding to redo my 3rd year.Here I am feeling like wow am stuck and everyone is moving forward but I remember that own lane, own pace is important. Taking those breaks when u being hard on yourself is very important. Dennis u an inspiration to many of us and I wish u well.Defining is amazing and unique.I have know u by just seeing u since 2017 and u have been rubbing shoulders with big people. All I see is possiblity and results when I see u.I wish u nothing but the best!💛

I cried when i was watching this video, because it seems like God is sending me a message inconsciously..i'm in a situation where i have for the past months been contemplating quitting my job but then i'm scared to take the leap.Im a freelance writer on the side and the NGO work i currently work is not giving me peace of mind.Its a weekend but my mind is still overloaded and im still working. There is a certain guilt that comes with feeling depressed while working because you question yourself why you are depressed yet you are privileged to be working amongst the rest. Thanks for the vid

In 2018 I quit my job after ten years of working full-time. It was the hardest decision I ever made because so much of my self worth or so I thought was tied to my title and position. Leaving the job helped me overcome fear and allowed me to see myself the way God sees me and not the way the world sees me. It wasn't easy, for a few months I struggled with anxiety and worry but with God's guidance I became stronger mentally and found new projects that were tailor-made for me. Taking a leap of faith allows what's meant for you to find you.

In December 2019, I quit my job of 6 years...from since I graduated. I can't describe enough how much that job took away from me, I hated every moment. I'm currently at peace and planning to work abroad and happy about it.

Never live your life with regrets. It will be sad to one day reach a ripe old age and think, “If only...” or “What if I...?”

I was doing honours degree last year I went through the most my supervisor gave a hard time. I always felt like he didn't want me to finish and graduate because he kept on expecting me to add things that we never even talked about during our meetings. I almost did not submit my research on time I went through alot towards examination. I was not sleeping, eating nor thinking positive, I decided that I want to quit because I felt like my mental health is much important. The last day of submission I decided I am going to do everything that he wanted because I was almost there and could not give up. I finally submitted my research and he accepted it

Moral of the story: sometimes you may face the most discomfort but it doesn't mean you have to quite you just have to face it because if you quit you will never live with yourself.

One word: favor.

"Trust your eternal clock and believe in your power to hit the reset button." 🔥🔥🔥

I'm glad you pushed through and gave it a try before you made your decision. I respect your ethos of adding value as an individual. That on its own lead to the right path eventually and things working out. Really happy for you!

I'm at a place of knowing what I want and not settling, staying true to the vision no matter what hurdles come my way. Last year in Yuphi and even though things haven't turned out the way I wanted them to, I'm happy the failures happened early, it definitely built my character for what's to come.

This is a true definition of "Fetch your life!" Wow, thanks for sharing your beautiful journey.

“Why are you so scared to be one yourself?” I felt that

[hlulanimhlongo]

With everything stated I relate so much to it. I quit my job with no back up job or plan but all I knew is I had to leave that space. Fastforward a few months later I still get panick attacks when I see something related to where I was.
My family supported me unfortunately at that point because of depression I had isolated myself from friends etc.

The question "Why are you so afraid of being yourself?" is one hectic question it sends one on a identity journey. That question hit home because in the quest of understanding why you are scared of being you, you need to know who "you" is. Not an easy journey but we are on it nonetheless.


Thank you Defining for such a transparent video to show that we're not alone.

What really touched me here is " Why are you so scared to become yourself" ? What you did Dennis was brave and commendable as you wanted to become yourself which is never an easy journey at all. When I completed my Honours in 2019 and applied to my Masters for the academic year of 2020. I believed I would get accepted at one of the institutions I had applied at that was not the case with four rejection letters all in the same day and my twin sister already been accepted for her Masters I felt a bit disappointed in myself because my sister and I have always been on the same path academically and I felt in that moment that I did not accomplish one of my goals for 2020. My sister and mom were quick to remind me that you have achieved something by completing your Honours in record time without failing and getting into your postgraduate studies which not everyone has the privilege to complete. I remembered that my life plan is in Gods hand and it will not always go the way I want it to go but I will get where I want to be I just need to keep the faith and always remember to cheer myself on. I am still waiting on two more institutions regarding my Masters it may have not been my first choice but, where God wants me to be I will go. Believing in myself is the first step to conquering the impossible.

Every defining video I've watched has been very inspirational, eye opening and left a lesson learnt... I honestly need to stop doubting myself about succeeding at doing what I genuinely want to do and love and just hit the reset button.
