Last week I did a motivational seminar for a young
microfinance company on how to become an Optimum Holistic Individual (maximizing your energy levels, ensuring you taking care
of your whole being, while carving your unique path). Now what I normally do before I speak with a
group is I mingle with them informally so to gauge what type of crowd I’m
dealing with. I let them talk and I just listen- so to sense their energy
levels, their awareness regarding some of my topics and mainly so they feel comfortable
with me when I’m on stage. What I got from this very youthful staff
(consisting of mainly 20-something year olds) from all over Zimbabwe, was that
each of them consisted of a combination of characteristics and traits that made
them who they were. As I pondered on
this I realized that
it is
our uniqueness that makes us shine- and
thus there and then I made a mental change on what I was about to present…
Initially, I was going to tell them what to do to live
life to their fullest potential- but I decided not to. Why? Because I couldn’t.
The only person who can tell you what to do to live life to
the fullest is YOU!
I can give you tips on HOW to and WHY it’s important to,
but to tell you- the author
of your own life-
what to do does not help you one bit.
I equate it to wearing a tailor made suit… Have you ever
worn a suit made specifically to your body frame and figure? If you have you
can tell the difference to the generic store (one size fits all) and the one fit
solely for you! You walk differently, you feel different, and your confidence
soars because this suit has no other owner but
you!
Let someone else try that suit and it just won’t
do! It’s your suit- it’s your life!!!

your life is tailor made to fit YOU; no one else... |
So with all your unique combinations of characteristics,
passions and interests who better to tell you what to do in your life that YOU?!?!
Go out and let your light shine and don’t let anyone define who you are: not your parents,
spouse, partner, siblings, boss or society!
1. Find your passion -that thing that ignites your SOUL… (don’t
know what that is?- step out of your comfort zone and try new things)
2. Define the vision and direction you want to go to (keep in mind this can change at first while you find
your bearings in life)
3. Carve your unique path (don't follow the masses or the ‘safe’ route taken by most) - "life is not to be mimicked but molded!"
Thanks for reading!
