The lifetime you have been given to live out is a gift from God with a responsibility attached to it. You cannot afford to waste the precious time that accounts for your life. Every minute spent without accountability will bring you to ultimate failure.
We classify failure from different perspectives. I consider failure to be a state of not having a vision for your life at all in the first place. The man or woman without a vision is without direction and therefore cannot be said to be living but merely existing. Nothing good happens or comes to people who merely exists. You are not a failure if you have a vision and you make attempts at achieving that dream even though you might be falling short at the moment.
It is on record that of the whole people on the planet earth (over 6.5 billion people), only 2% are actually decisively pursuing a set of objectives based on clearly defined vision and purpose. That to me is a disaster of monumental proportion and a great misuse of our installed human capacity for achievement. Can you now see the reason why very few people are controlling the rest of humanity? Unfortunately, among the 2% that are purposefully engaged in a defined vision, over 80% of them are operating on the negative lane, sabotaging virtues and taking advantage of the ignorance of the many to milk them drive and giving themselves treats that end in dishonour. Why should you be among the majority that are without direction?
Why is the Situation So?
Many of us are not in the driving seats of our lives. We are living off on the driving force of other people. We are not in charge of our lives. Now, how can we take charge of our own lives? Of the nearly 7 billion people on earth, each one of us is created for a specific purpose. We are crafted differently and are supposed to function in specific areas of life. If you operate outside your configured sphere, you will malfunction and will not be able to live fulfilled.
There is nothing as interesting as living on your configured and wired state. Maximum utilization of your gifts, potentials and passion will be at full swing. You will be more beneficial to your life, others and to humanity. There are however people who are scared to death about living in such independence. They fear that they may not be able to generate enough to take care of themselves and their needs if they let go of external help, albeit, the dependence mind-set at work.
The truth? Your true potentials can never be realized if you continue to rely on others. Get your own life and live it to the fullest. It can be in employment, in your relationships and every aspect of life. Nobody can generate enough energy to satisfy himself and then give you sufficient fulfilment. You are configured to be able to generate innate energy for your purpose in life. This may sound a generalization of the issue of purpose but you must realize that you can apply this principle in your specific area of life.
To help you achieve a drive towards engaging your life towards a specific direction, follow the following tips:
1. Develop a hunger for knowledge and seek knowledge firstly to develop your passionate areas of potentials and gifts
2. Begin to apply what you learn from books, seminars and deliberate relationships on that field.
3. Develop a mind-set of knowing a little about everything so that you can develop a broad-mind.
4. Relate with people who have made impact in your chosen area to gain inspiration.
5. Practice, practice and practice while maintaining an eternal learning spirit.
Do the above for the next six months to one year and see the amount of change that will come over your life.
