Warrior Ric gives advice and talks about visionaries and missionaries
Warrior Ric, one of the SPAR Women’s Race ambassadors, give advice to prospective participants for this race that will take place on 5 August.
2017 Pretoria SPAR Women’s Challenge brand ambassador, Warrior Ric provides some valuable motivation and inspiration for everyone planning to participate in this year’s race – and touches on what #BetterTogether really means in practice.
“You are the company you keep. Today, more than ever, our teenagers are misguided by their peers. We are busy working in careers we don’t want, working for a boss we don’t like and companies that don’t know us. Government leaders elected to serve the voting public are misled by alliances that were created by selfish politicians on a different mission from the visionaries of the new South Africa.
“It is up to us to focus on what is good for us as individuals and as a community, and live and share in that goodness every day. It is easy to stay focused on what is good, if we seek out and maintain relationships with positive leaders on the same mission. We must never allow detractors to deter us from our goals, whether those detractors are real or imagined. We ought to create guardrails for ourselves and others in order to keep us all on track.
“To make it easier, and to be sure we are aligned, we must seek out visionaries and missionaries. Once you have set a goal, set out on your mission. Be a leader, be unique, and be bold. You don’t have to wait for someone else to tell you that you are stuck in a dead-end job, or that there are potholes outside your driveway or that your children are falling prey to peer pressure. Don’t allow misguided followers to influence your leadership potential, and the opportunity for you to meet your goals.
“It’s never easy to start out on a mission alone. However, know that although you are responsible for that first step, there will always be curious followers, colleagues and haters ready to jump on board before long. Sift through the detractors. Choose those who share your vision, and those who are willing to act by ‘missioning’ with you on the same journey. With visionaries and missionaries working together, you cannot lose. You build commitment from the onset, and maintain consistency because of a shared vision, with shared missionaries culminating in shared success.
“This 5th of August, at the beginning of Women’s Month, witness how tens of thousands of individuals come together for good, using a combined spirit that is #BetterTogether at the 2017 SPAR Women’s Challenge at SuperSport Park Stadium, Centurion.”
