Warthog of Motivation!

![KNP Satara-Lower Sabi 2009 370.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYpjJGpBy8TUJGHTohVH7AQNT7DDBVG8oCAA7aytNPdkv/KNP%20Satara-Lower%20Sabi%202009%20370.JPG)

#  I took this picture in the Kruger National park in the Satara camp, and if this lone warthog does not serve as a source of motivation - then what will.

#  Warthogs are normally social creatures and are seldom seen alone ( like this one)

#  As you can see, other than being on his own, this warthog also does not have a lot to go by - the food is scares and water even more so!

#  But that just isn't reason enough to quit for this guy!

#  He is a survivor!

The same applies in our very own lives, often we are faced with overwhelming situations and we are not sure how to cope but you need to remember that you are so much bigger than whatever you are faced with and that there is no need to doubt your own strength because you are a survivor too!

So stop focusing on what you have and rather make a point of appreciating and making the most of what you have!

Thank you breezin for the photo. I spent time in Kruger Park in the 1980's and the guide I had was excellent, what he didn't know about flora and fauna - unbelievable. I didn't see a warthog but all the wonderful animals one would expect and so close up. I also spent time on Mala Mala, a bit more fancy but the guides were also excellent.  I will never forget the opportunity that press trip gave me. South Africa, it's animals, landscape and peoples are amazing. I wish you all well!

Why do I recall having this very conversation with you **many** moons ago?

Wow... My darling @breezin. I am so touch with this post, and that is the truth one need to stand in time of testing. Do you know what, when I red you post I was over thinking that the food I was cooking is burnt that i need to turn the food to another pot.. That for this motivation post. ![IMG_20180218_195641.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRzPCthoJLJAA5wgGxwi4LnUhwE9QUnuo7neam7VnxEn8/IMG_20180218_195641.jpg)
