who we really are and what we're here to do, then life becomes this journey where regrets don't exist because everything that happened that I didn't enjoy was accelerating me to my growth. And why would I hate something that made me grow? I loved all of it. That one, missing that half, most of the day of school that day had homework to catch up on.

I couldn't trade that for the world when I'm sitting with my mom. I often think when I was 10 years old, My mom had just turned almost 40. She was young. She took the time. She could have hung out with her friends. I'm 43 right now. She could have hung out with her friends, you know? It is weird to think about how young our parents were. Yeah, but she chose to.

She made sure she swapped shifts with someone. She took that shift. She would take me and we would hang out. So I think of those times and I go, if I think of the homework that piled up and my friends were telling me about the soccer match that they had after school, blah, blah, blah. And I'm thinking about the time I laid in the grass with my mom in the park.

And I'm like, I couldn't swap that for the world. Now I appreciate the effort she put into making sure that she accelerates my growth. By feeling that little bit of pain of homework catch up, she accelerated me in knowing who I really am. I love nature. I love being at the outside. I love being at the park. I love laughing.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Meet Eugene Khoza – One of My Favorite People

I love dreaming and just lying there and looking up and having a good time. So when I look at my life in my late 30s and 40s, and I look at my life in my 10s, and I'm like, there was always grass. There was always a park. I was at Burgers Park, a park in Pretoria that's derelict. And I got to spend time in the most prestigious park in the world that people dream of going to.

And I got to lie in the grass there and daydream again about my life. And things that I thought of three years ago in that park, I have them now. Hmm. So I'm not wrong. Somewhere, somehow, there's energy that's vibrating towards helping me get to where I'm going. What do you do when you feel disconnected from that?

How do you get back to that? I look at pictures. Phones are the greatest invention ever. I look at places that I've been to and I remember the feelings that I had there. Then I go, what is the quickest way I can replicate this if I can't go there? Then I'll find a patch of grass and I'll find a park. Then I'll find sunshine.

I'll wear my walking shoes and I'll start walking for kilometers and kilometers. You've got walking shoes? Yes. What are they? Adidas shoes. But I use them for walking. It's just walking shoes? No, they're running shoes, but I use them for walking. Oh, I thought it's like this is the only thing they can do. Like if someone chased you, you're like, hey, buddy.
