World has taut us life in hard way, that is why we no longer afraid to share with whole world. Some people thinks they know better then you do, and tend to judge you when you making mistakes as if they are saints. I have really learn this hard “dont ever judge a person ” simple because your life has been great and tend to think other individuals are not smart its not fair. You know its very unfortunate that we met people whom we thinks they would rub our shoulders at weakest time and you find that the very same friends, partner, siblings you’ve been sharing traumatic stories about your life journey and where you come from, they can turn it into laughing stock.
Making you the worst looser of them all, why? They have never been on your journey as you grow, they don’t even know the day you went to bed hungry not to mention the amount of effort you have put to get where you are today and all they can see is stupid person who cannot think. When people start to see your thinking style is different from their , they often seek to control you by provoking all good ideas and actions you pursue. My sister you coming far and you still going far don’t ever allow someone to just mess with your mind just like that, once you allow people to control your mind then consider yourself useless. It takes good responsibility to draw a line between friendship and your dreams, remember dreams are yours and yours alone. Friends are every where, in fact in my view friendship is an invitation to tears but discipline and vision invites success. One of my teacher who was teaching me Physical Science used to say, in life work hard now to reap good fruits at next, but he said it like this “sweatiness first, then sweetness” it actually says itself. Steve Harvey once said in one of his podcast you the mastery of your own mind, if you wake up in the morning and you decide what you want to achieve today. He said the moment you wakeup and you telling yourself I’m not feeling well, your mind then takes what you say and generate many possible ideas of bad day, soon when you were about to wakeup and prepare to bath so you can go, then you start feeling lazy, having some excuse to no go to work, WHY? because you have told your mind you not having a good day so your mind gives you what you say. Today I challenge you to always say great things about your life, start programming your mind with great thinking ,great visions the more you do that the more your mind register that, it has to function for great things therefore it will start attracting great things in your life.
Look at this in this way, when you were young, it started from trying to walk by putting at least one foot forward then another foot forward. How many times you were falling until you developed a balance to walk forward slowly. Yes that where it started, when you were taught to walk, you were taught to walk slowly by putting your foot forward on by one, if I may ask you why were you not taught to put your foot backwards but forward? ask yourself that question. Why they teach children to walk forward, why? think about this its very deep. This tells you that in life move forward not backward, in any circumstances you came across you solve them by moving forward, for every challenges you facing you learn to solve one by one slowly until you comfortable to solve many problems in short period of time. The more your mind is trained to solve problem not running away from problem is the more you become more confidence of yourself, because its true this world is very cruel that only the best are rewarded, if you not the best then consider yourself an average person. As I grew up I learn and realize there are different kinds of people and I did develop understanding why God let this be on our universe. There is nothing wrong about being average, poor, or rich its all individuals choice. Robert Kiyosaki once said in his podcast on YouTube, in every person inside there is Rich person and Poor person, meaning inside you, there is a rich person and there is poor person but that all in you, who do you choose to accommodate in your life. With me i have always been seeing myself rich but not knowing how is that going to happen, perhaps i might win Lotto, or by business wise, I did not know ,but the feeling of being rich has always been with me. I do believe its does happen to you as well, but you just don’t know how.
Start accommodating the rich person inside, cause that is the only valued ticket to your dreams of Double story house, Luxury cars you name it, but it has to start by finding yourself who you are first then master that until you become the best of it, remember only the best are rewarded in this life. If you don’t believe me, i can just make few scenarios which I’m sure you can relate to it, Here there is two tables of fruits, one tables has what you like but its not clean, in other words the fruit you want to buy is dusty and on other table there are few fruits which is not much of your desire but the table is clean ,fruits are covered with nice plastic to avoid dust laying on those fruits, my question to you where would you buy, would you prefer table 1 or 2 and why? No one is willing to take out his/her money for bad service that why Im saying to you find your best in you, invest in it ,cultivate it so that world cannot deny your presence. You have time, as long as you still breathing you have time, its better to start now then never. Lets me share my me which I do believe i have discovered myself and im investing well in it.
When i grew up , i wanted to be Technician or Engineer, reason being was that i used to help my community with electrical problem, fixing home appliances and so forth. I thought ohh, maybe i would be technician somewhere somehow, during primary time when you were asked what career do you like , i used to say by confident that i want to be electrical engineer or mechanical engineer but the lucky came early to me when i was doing grade 7 in Mathonsi Primary school. We were a group of 3 guys who were not bright at all , we were those children if you were to visualize their future, you will see nothing based on the performance at school, which was going to be fair judge in my opinion but you know there are thing in life that happen maybe once and they pass, if you not lucky you miss them for good. So with this small group of my friends we use to go into coner desk, creating our own radio station , trying to emulate Ukhozi fm, more of Linda Sibiya when he was doing breakfast show. We would collect old news paper, one of us will read news, one will read sport and I remember correctly i was the presenter of the show and you know when something is yours everyone bow for it or even praise you for it ,because in my case one who used to read news would have prefer to be a presenter not news reader and vice versa and that was going to kill the whole spirit of our intention. Tell you the truth, we didn’t know really what we were doing, but by surprise this followed me until 2009 when I was a volunteer a lovelife under radio programme called Radio Y’s which was led by Sihle Mthembu one of the greatest radio presenter ever. I remember when I was doing my show, most people used to listen to me, you will find them gathered together listening my show. One of the surprising moment ever happen to me during love life time as a radio presenter on that campus radio station, was when Sihle Mthembu, entered on the studio while I was on the show, he actually came closer to my desk and stare me for like for 5 min as I was broadcasting, he waited until I played a song then he said “Wow you good now” i ask him why you saying that, he said “people are really enjoying your show outside and they are gathered just for your show” I laughed at him thinking he is joking, I quickly went out and to my surprise I saw even people you don’t get along with listening to you, that was an amazing moment for me. Cut story short finding myself that my talent is in radio made me realize that I must invest a lot in my talent, as a result I have my own online radio podcast where I use it to practice and learn dynamics of being professional radio dj. I have not yet reach that level to be on big commercial radio stations but with good faith I know that will happen as well .
That is just a short story of me finding myself, I hope this will also help you find yourself and live the mark in this world. You were born to not survive in this world but to make change, find yourself and be a change. One truth we cannot run away from is that if you have not found yourself , you will always work hard to fulfil someone dreams. You wake up every day producing great product for that company to continue makes millions with your effort and then get 1 percent of every production you making for that company. If that sound like a good plan to you then go for it, continue be mediocre live to survive not make a different because its true you waking up to make someone’s dream go big, in exchange of money. Companies are getting good recognitions , signing good deals under your blood, sweatiness and effort, as sour as it is you must know you just a tool to that company to produce production, if you die today that company wont fail or liquidate because you no longer they will hire another person who might do your work much faster and better then you. So, you see were just a tool waiting to expire. A job is something you get paid to do but a Talent is something you get blessing from universe for who you are, a job you get fired but talent lives within you forever. Its now or never.
