You have the power within you

THE most important and critical factor in life that determines your success is your vision. A vision is a mental picture one has in their mind of their preferred future. This vision creates a thirst and hunger which will not be satisfied by anything except by its realisation. That’s why people who have a vision are unstoppable and will not settle until it has become a reality. The hunger I am referring to leads to creativity, flexibility, resilience, commitment, dedication and stubbornness. This hunger has no room for excuses. Even the bible says people shall perish because of a lack of vision.

Most people however operate on a wheelbarrow mentality, they depend on external motivation and forces. If they are not told what to do they just sit, because they are externally driven. Those that are successful are driven from within and are even called go-getters. Long before you were born, God planted a seed in you, it’s called desire and this is what leads to your vision. Seek out your desire by listening to your heart and vote yourself out of being a volunteer victim and your life will count for something. When I said to people I wanted to write a book, they asked me: Do you have a publisher or a distributor? I said NO, I don’t have. Who is your target market? I said anyone who wants to live a better life. I was frowned upon because my answers didn’t fit in with their set models. They said good luck sarcastically. I fought for my vision and my self-published book, You Are Born to Win, is doing well and changing lives.

You have more power within you than you can ever begin to imagine, don’t let others talk you out of your dreams. Ditch the wheelbarrow mentality. You deserve the best that life has to offer, claim it!
