Don`t wait for opportunities.Create them !!

They say you have : to lose yourself in the moment ,live the moment and seize the moment,for opportunity knocks once in a life time .Yes opportunities are many but there are those that breed more opportunities,those that change our lives in a positive manner,those that motivate and inspire others.When an opportunity knocks do not just "open " the doors ,instead open them wide and explore.Many of us come across opportunities but give up along the way .You will agree with me that we let go of a lot of opportunities because we are expected to complete application forms,to meet the required qualifications ,to carry out medical tests and at times to posses certain specific traits .At times we are even expected to move from our comfort zone and in worst cases we have to compromise on our personal values. All theses challenges tend to hinder many of us from fully exploiting our potential .Such challenges shut us out and reduce our success possibilities, but if we approach opportunities with the future in mind ,if we start with the end in mind we will realize that we are powerful beyond measure. My first trip to Europe (Sweden ) was a challenging one as i had to pay for a number of expenses including the visa .I had to mobilize both financial and non financial resources.Back then i was still unemployed ,as a result i had to humble myself and carry a sponsorship sheet and ask for contributions from those that i knew and in many instances from people i did not even know.It was indeed a tough and somewhat embarrassing period but because i had the future in mind i humbled myself. I did everything that was required to make my participation in the World Youth Convention a reality. It was from that time in 2010 that more opportunities have come my way and i have explored the world, with Denmark and Lebanon being my recently visited places due to my leadership abilities and motivational speaking passion .All you need to do is to compliment the opportunity with efforts .When opportunities are fully exploited your motivation is increased and you are able to set big and powerful goals .For its not what a goal is that matters but what a goal does .Beyond waiting and seeking opportunities you have to create them yourself .So start now and be creative !!

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.

Does the world still have visionary leaders?

Visionary leaders are people who do not just paint a picture, but those that paint it and explain it! The whole essence of visionary leadership is rooted in one`s ability to effectively share their vision to others in such that even in their absence what they sought to achieve is achieved by others. The good thing about vision sharing is that you do not need to be there for your vision to be achieved. Most importantly you have to tackle all limitations and turn your tragedies into triumphs. The world has its own standards of determining hero and heroine status but to me it is those leaders that have turned their tragedies into triumphs and dark nights into victory that I believe deserve the status. A blind man`s world is bounded by the limits of his touch; an ignorant man`s world by the limits of his knowledge; a great man`s world by the limits of his vision .Paul Harvey What is vision?

My journey through the African Sketches

"Motivation is spiritual leadership is viral" is a personal statement that I live with, it defines who I am and summarizes my life purpose as a motivational/leadership writer. Now that the book African Sketches has been launched and published, I have set a standard and have left a land mark in the field of writing. The book is my gift to the world .What many people have been interested in ,is how I did it .On that note let me shed some light and say that it is the process that matters the most that the results. I have learnt a lot in the process of writing especially the editing part of it. This is largely because when you write and get to a point where you are content but an editor (in this case Christopher Mlalazi) disagrees with part of your line of thinking and gets some work deleted in a process called removing the dead wood .This was a painfull process but it was for the best and i ahve learnt that we write better when we allow for critcism and ...
