"When an egg breaks by a power from outside, a life ends. When an egg breaks by a power from within, a life begins"

Thomas Carlyle once said “The block of granite which is an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, becomes a stepping stone in the pathway of the strong”. I never understood the power of this simple cliché until I thought really deep about something.
Geography has taught us that Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the tallest mountains in the world, but think about it for a second. If you were on a plane right on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, would you give the same rendition?
The answer is no. This is because, from a plane's view, Mount Kilimanjaro is as small as a marble. Now, how tall or how small Mount Kilimanjaro is will be determined solely by the POSITION IT IS VIEWED FROM.
The difference between somebody who wrote geography and a person who sees Kilimanjaro from a plane view, is the position they view it from.
You might be asking yourself, Thapelo Jonas, what are you getting at? Well let me break it down for you. Life has a tendency of throwing lemons our way, sometimes we find ourselves in the valleys of disaster. We get to be faced with gigantic goliaths of life who surfaces in the form of poverty, unemployment, low self esteem and shattered backgrounds.

But the reality is….Life happens, you might have been born in poor background and life has dictated to you that you can never amount to anything, you will never rise above your situation maybe its time you change your view.
Dr. Maswanganyi once said “there is nothing wrong in been born in a poor family but there is something wrong when you die in one. You have a choice of looking at yourself from the top view and declare that you are born for great exploits, thereby planting seeds of greatness in your tomorrow.
What does looking at your problems from a plane view mean?... If you are one of the thousands who is asking that question, don’t worry you are at the right place.

I believe in God therefore I can attest to what the bible says when it declares that as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is. Think about this, can you build a house without a plan…?
In other words if you don’t have a blue print of where you are going then you can’t get there. Have you ever taken time to think about what it means when it says God created us in his image? You are created by an imaginative God who cannot create unless he has an image/blueprint or material to create from.
You need to think big if you want to be big. An interesting phenomenon of life is that images we have about the kind of future we want, always transcends into physical realities if we don’t let go of them in our minds.

Remember to dream big no matter where you are, that blue print you have in your mind must be there and if you don’t have it…destiny cannot create because it has no material to use.
Where you are today does not determine where you can go, and if you can dream it then you can do it.
