The award-winning actor, speaker, entrepreneur, and author Hykie Bergâs latest book, GEROEP VIR MEER â HOE OM SUKSESVOL TE LEEF, will be available soon.
 The book is inspired by everything Hykie â who openly shares his tumultuous history â has learned over the past two decades about the concept of success and how to achieve it.Â
Â
âThe day I decided to take a hundred percent personal responsibility for my life was the day my life changed. I realised I was not a victim of my circumstances, but the architect of it, and all of us have the ability to change our lives.â
Â
âWe are not trapped; we just need to change our mindset and perspective on life. Everyone of us is called for more than we realise or think. Everyone struggles with limiting beliefs; we are where we are because of the story we keep telling ourselves. Change the story and we change our lives. This book is about how to âunstuckâ your life and move forward.
Â
According to Berg, GEROEP VIR MEER â HOE OM SUKSESVOL TE LEEF is written for those âwho are willing to take action, have a desire to change their lives and are willing to step out of their comfort zones, trust God with total dedication, and in faith change the trajectory of their lives. It is written for anyone who wants to regain hope and achieve their dreams.â
Â
He elaborates: âThis book deals with the principles of a successful and meaningful life, the dream that God has for your life, and the personal responsibility each of us must demonstrate to partake in the miracle process of life. The book has the potential to change your life if you are willing to take action and apply the principles I discuss.â
Â
âIt doesn’t matter where you come from, how old you are, what your skin colour is, the number of times you think you have failed and all the challenges you have endured, you CAN create a life far beyond your own imagination. There is hope. God’s dream for your life is more captivating, significant, and exciting than any dream you can conceive, imagine, or envision. Your wildest dreams do not come close to what God has planned for you,â says this versatile man, who met his Creator during the reality show Survivor Maldives in 2010.
Â
Hykie speaks to audiences across the world and is always amazed at how few people follow their dreams and truly live purposefully.Â
Â
âSo many people have no vision for their lives and will therefore never reach their full potential. They do not know what they want out of life. They are like ships without sails. They have stopped dreaming and have no goal, plan, or end destination. But there is a promised land for each of us, the dream that God has for our lives. Every person has the ability to create a multifaceted dream for their lives and make it a reality. We must learn how to set our sails.â
Â
He adds:Â âGod wants to give each of us His best. He does not want His children to perish in debt, poverty, and misery. I am not saying God wants everyone to be millionaires, but His heart is that things go well for each of us. You were meant to make a dent in the universe. You were born to make a difference and live a life of significance. God will give you more than enough to realise His dream for your life so that you can fulfil your assignment here on earth and help others fulfil their assignments. But we have a responsibility in this journey called life.
Â
GEROEP VIR MEER â HOE OM SUKSESVOL TE LEEF is part of Hykie and his wife Gerrideneâs vision to create 100 new millionaires in the next five years by empowering them to escape the rat race and live a life of freedom and significance. Â
Â
âTo make an extraordinary impact and lead a life of true significance takes more than just passion and imagination to come to fulfilment. I hope that my book will inspire people to dream again and get excited about the endless possibilities that life has to offer, to take responsibility for their choices, and to discover the power within each of us to live an impactful life.â
Â
