WHICH OLIVER ARE YOU?




Many a times people  make us feel like we are just but some 21st Century living version of Charles Dickens Oliver Twist .Always asking for more and never getting out of the poverty trap. This happens because we tend to live life focusing on the problems and challenges that come with it .When we are imprisoned by dire circumstances we lose confidence and behave more like desperate naïve individuals whose lives are just but like reeds shaken by the wind for fear closes our eyes, failure shuts us out from the world of success and poverty enslaves our minds .Open your eyes and you will realise that you have the potential to be respected like Oliver Mtukudzi (international icon and renowned Zimbabwean musician) and the power to be celebrated like Oliver Tambo (a South African liberation hero and a champion of democracy and equality ).The  are some many Oliver`s out there and all of us have the potential to be the best Oliver and this we can achieve by occupying time and space in other people’s lives. Life is like climbing a mountain we have to go in rounds in order to reach to the top .At times we wish and think of shortcuts though shortcuts tend to end in high cut of challenges  .But always remember that when you reach the mountain top you have to start thinking of even greater heights. Fear is when we take our eyes away from the life purpose that God has given us ,fear is the cousin of hate for love does not fear .It is ok to fear but it is better to face our fears .
Hope challenges us to think beyond the now ,for the now is limited to what is our horizon. Hope rejuvenates us to stand up and be battle ready for victory .Remember to concentrate on winning the war and not the battle, for many a times we focus our eyes on small battles and lose the war. So i challenge you  this very day to  raise your head for you are a Queen/King , mother of many nations ,a champion of leadership and  a source of inspiration to many .In the end always take note that if your dreams do not scare you then you haven't started moving towards greatness. When great people feel low they find strength in the victories they have established, this way you find back your inner strength.Yes we are all Olivers of this world but the choice is our hands to choose which Oliver we want to be known as .

The influence in a leader

Every song comes from another song, every leader succeeds another, every story end is the beginning of another, every person is from a successfully fertilised sperm and every story repeats and continues another. Likewise success breeds success and so shall the sperm of success when natured, monitored and groomed well it shall produce success. The power of influence can only be useful when put into motion , the same applies with leaders who have influence but don’t direct it towards transforming societies. The power of influence however cannot function without the necessary environment.Influencial leaders are people who are able to create a conducive environment for them to exert that influence, they don’t force people to buy into their vision but their works act as a bait to lure followers. Influence is earned over time, remember that there is always competition for it .In the same fashion only a competitive sperm can result in fertilisation. “We are all cut out from the sam...

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

FEAR ,NO FEAR! Move from a moaners and a groaners to movers and shakers

  Fear kills more people than death .In order to have self motiavation  you need to acknowledge your fears.That you fear something is a first positive step towards setting your mind free for fear is truly and purely a mind game.You can overcome your fears,yes you can all you need is to take the next essential move   of practical action oriented.It is this action step that determines whether we challemge and change the way things are done or we just conform to situations and rot inside us in fear and our dreams are buried inside our hearts.As a  result we cheat the world of an important leadership gift and seed that is in us  .We can overcome our fears by  challenging the way things are done.     Fear can be simple defined as:   F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal As leaders we become effective when we first deal with our internal fears,for the world out there is built on fear of the unknown whilst success is...
