You are the magnet that attracts your goals and success
“Wendy Nthantha”
I often hear people complain about life. Some of the comments that reside on people’s lips these days are, “Life is unfair”, it’s always life this and life that. It is an obvious truth that, life will throw dirt us, for most us that is, but the reality of it all is, in life you call the shots.
Many young people will start blaming their background, the parents they have and the size of their family’s bank account. Dr. Elijah Maswanganyi once said “There is nothing wrong in been born in a poor family but there is something wrong when you die in one”. Your parents end could be your beginning and not your end.
The question that you should be asking yourself constantly is, how can I turn my lemons into lemonade?
#1. STOP PLAYING THE BLAME GAME
The energy we put in blaming our background, parents, what could have been and should have been, tends to destruct our vision and to waste time we could be spending into strategies to employ in order to accelerate our growth and achievement of success.
#2. THINK BIG
If you don’t have a picture of a preferred future about your life, it’s impossible to work against the unknown. You must learn to dream big, think of the impossible even when you small in your own eyes. There is no big building that is erected without thorough and precise plan. What do you want out of life?
#3. MAINTAIN POSITIVE CONFESSION—ALWAYS
What you constantly say about yourself is what you eventually become. Instead of, waking up in the morning and dreading what the day holds for you—make it a habit of confessing greatness, “I am the best, I am an achiever, I wont end where my parents ended, I am a history maker”. Just remember, what gets talked about eventually gets done.
#4. ASSOCIATE WITH RIGHT PEOPLE
You probably heard it before, show me your friends and I will show you where you going. It is a simple cliché, but people we hang around with shape our thoughts, our confessions and who we eventually become. Don’t let anybody be your friend if they are not going or have not been where you going.
#5. COUNT THE COST AND TAKE STEPS
You now know what you want out of life, what will it take to reach it? How long will it take? What should I start doing today to make sure I reach my pinnacle? These are questions you need to ask yourself, and finally take small steps in the direction of your dream. Of course, patience, discipline and faith will be required along the way.
