Xavier Saer
Xavier Saer was born in Peru with the Inca culture and wisdom on his doorstep. Before he was ten, he had written his first novel, a two-page thriller titled, ‘Journey in a time machine.’ It would take him over twenty years to write his second novel.
Xavier is an internationally published songwriter and recording artist with Universal Music/Markon Records. His work has received two South African Music Award (SAMA) nominations. His website, www.xaviersaer.com, has logged millions of hits since inception.
Xavier has been interviewed on many of South Africa’s TV shows and his music played on major English and Afrikaans radio stations. He has featured in ad campaigns for Peroni, Sun International, SAA, Miller’s Lite, and News Café among many other companies.
When he is not writing or performing, Xavier is probably travelling somewhere in the world accompanied by his camera and a journal. You can follow his adventures on both his personal website and his Facebook page.
Bleeding Heart is his first novel.
“Love is like a boomerang: don't be afraid to let it fly.”
“You are where you’re supposed to be. Otherwise you’d be somewhere else.”
“A visionary looks at the immensity of the world without fear. He looks at the billions of dreams in the millions of people's minds, the hundreds of thousand unfulfilled aspirations, the thousands steps never taken, the hundreds of goals waiting to happen, and understands that in order to change it all, he needs to change the most important part: himself.”
“We wait... and wait... and so we spend our lives waiting. Waiting for the right moment, the right person, more money, more Love, more time, more approval... we even wait for the weather to change. We depend on everything but ourselves to take the leap. Stop waiting. Use your next breath to seize the day. It is Yours to Take.”
“Not everyone's purpose is to build an empire or change the world. Your purpose can be raising a great family or being of service to the community. The size of the purpose doesn’t matter, but the size of the heart behind each purpose.”
“Often, it feels like we're not sure where we're going. Our path is not clearly defined. But your path does lie out there. It lies inside you. In your heart. Find what you love, what makes you come alive. You don't need to think. Feel it. Find what fills your heart with joy, and there lies your path. Where you find your Love, you'll find your path.”
“Put all your efforts in following your happiness. The rest are details.”
“The beginning and end point of every successful journey is the same: gratitude.”
“Be positive to the point where it becomes such a strong habit that you don’t know how else to live.”
“What the future holds for you depends on the state of your consciousness today.”
“The biggest blessings are often disguised in the shape of tears.”
“Watch what you're thinking and you might just find what comes into your life.”
“We’re not afraid of flying; only afraid of the altitude we might reach.”
“Whatever path you chose, make sure it has a heart.”
“The battlefield of owning your dreams is won the moment you decide to conquer your fears.”
