Brake out off the shell

“Push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you” Robert T. Kiyosaki.

At time tend to limit ourselves to a point where we can’t even see opportunities presented to us, we have a built a door for opportunities but it is locked, so we missing out. I grew up in settlement where completing matric is the vision for a majority of the pupils, we don’t see what is in store for us in tertiary education level. The wall we’ve built between ourselves other attachments to life is too long for us to see beyond. Cracking the shells we build for ourselves become too strong that even the builders can’t break out. 

Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it” Louz Holtz.

Failure is part of Life

Failure is part of life, however failing does mean that you have to give up, it means you have to go back to the drawing board, check where you went wrong and approach things from a different channel.

2015 was a great year for some and a bad year for some also. Do you remember the list of resolutions you drafted at the beginning of 2015, toward the end of 2015 you went back to check whether you’ve accomplished any of the goals, maybe you’ve accomplished half, quarter or even none of the goals you had for 2015. 2016 it’s a new which still gives another chance to shape your life and change it. When one plan fails you don’t give up just because it didn’t work out, you figure something out till you get what you want, just keep going and never stop.

“It’s not over, until the Lord says it’s over.” TD Jakes

Go back to your drawing board and find your purpose. “If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.” TD Jakes

Action Plan

My biggest fear is giving up without giving it a try, How do I say I can’t when I did not even try.
Don’t just write your goals and dreams then close the book, Act on them and give them life. If you don’t, Then who will? How do check them daily without acting on them?
When you continue sleeping on them, they remain as dreams, but when you wake up and act on them, they then become your goals.
When opportunities don’t come knocking on your door, You go knock at their door. My fear has always been REJECTION, but the again I thought, why not turn my weakness into strength. Remove the negativity in mind and think of more positive things. The greatest method to achieve a task is having a positive mindset.
Most of us are not able to do great things, but we definitely can do small things in a great way. This is for sure if we put our mind to our work.
“Winning comes to people who are motivated to move ahead without any fear” Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad.
“If you destroy your lovely dreams and useful visions then the blame must rightfully go to you because you are the destroyer and therefore soley responsible for holding yourself from progress and prosperity. So learn to treasure your dreams and visions because they may be useful in the future” Dr Ram Lakhan Prasad.
“Work Will Win While Whining Won’t” DJ Sbu.
“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others” Ayn Rand.
Wake up and live your dreams, Don’t just be the main characters of your dreams and visions in Dreamland.

Goals And Resolutions

I have devoted myself to helping and shaping the Youth of South Africa.
Through the motivation I’ve been getting from Gents like Dj Sbu, I feel I should share the knowledge I have with the Youth. I have learnt a lot from reading the  Leadership 2020 Book, the book not only motivated me, it also inspired me as well in making my dreams come true.
Setting Goals and resolutions should mainly focus on the why part, than the how part
I just realized that our goals fail, not because we don’t know how to start, but we fail to identify the reason why we want to accomplish that particular goal.

Who are you?

“There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chose to be in the first group” Mary Kay Ash.
“Every failure, obstacle or hardship is an opportunity in disguise. Success in many case is failure turned inside out. The greatest pollution problem we face today is negativity. Eliminate the negative attitude and believe you can do anything. Replace If I can, I hope, Maybe, with I can, I will, I must” Mary Kay Ash.
Try it, till you get it right. The negative mindset we have is the one killing our ideas before we even begin to try. Can’t is a 4 letter word, to cut it short, remove the ‘t and make it a 3 letter word, Can.
“Failure is the foundation of success, success is the lurking place of failure” Laozi.
“All personal achievements starts within the mind of the individual” W. Clement Stone.

Be the best you can be

I don’t know much about life, but what I have learnt ever since I came to life, is that life itself is not fair. Life has many complicated edges, life gives you what you feed it. So as opportunities, if you don’t build a door for them, they don’t come to you. A wise man once said to me that be the best you can be, and sometimes the tough love we receive from people, actually pushes us out of our comfort zones to act on what we believe in. I’ve once had experience of being comfortable in being lazy and delaying what I truly believe in. people don’t always give a thumbs up on what we tend to believe in, which brings us down, and we build a mindset of saying “I can’t do this, I won’t make it or it won’t work” I believe that an idea can never fail unless you’ve tried to make use of it. A good friend of mine once said, “ if you want to be rich associate yourself with rich people, if want to start a Company associate yourself with businessmen and if want to be a Doctor associate yourself with Doctors” build a solid foundation for your dreams, so that when you take action and turn them into goals, you know where and how to start.

Understanding yourself

We live in a world where pleasing other people is what we tend to think about. Not knowing yourself has extensive implications for how you live your life and relate to others.
“if you do not know and understand yourself you will not be able to take care of yourself; without being in touch with yourself, you will not be able to truly get in touch with others; without understanding yourself, you will not be in a position to understand and relate to others”-Andy Turnbull
Grow as teenagers, there is a huge change physically and emotionally and an increasing need to feel independent and a desire to find and identity. The need for acceptance becomes more about acceptance by peers and friends, rather family.
I guess we often do things just to please family and friends and to meet the need of love and belonging, while we are not happy with the decisions we made throughout. We often don’t realize that not knowing what you want can be a disadvantage, because we get separated from our passions and goals.
We study courses just because a friend is studying the same course, we work for a company just because a friend working there as well.
Who are you?
What happened to your dreams and goals?
Are you living your life or are you living to please your friends?
Are you happy with what you have accomplished so far?
We all have a purpose in this world, it is one’s duty to figure out what that purpose is, and the desire to please others just to fit it, sometimes it is not the way to go.
As we grow we tend to make mistakes and fall into traps that were never made for us, we only fall in because we are, at a wrong place, at a wrong time, with wrong people.
Friends and peers can be a motivation to you, but always try by all means to find make your and shape your own path.
Finding your identity will lead you to happiness.
