Remember: #ItsPossibleBecauseItsDoable
When I was awarded the KwaZulu-Natal Young Achievers Award in 2016 it took me a moment to process the reality. I scratched my head in confusion as to why on earth I had been nominated. Until I was made conscious of the fact that I had been nominated because of making myself available to those who needed my assistance. It’s true I had not always provided my services free of charge but rather I had been accessible to Students and the KZN community at large.
As my clients come to me, they often complain that there are no opportunities in front of them. But I don’t argue with them, instead I ask one question: “Are you available?” Often, this stumps them. Because you see, you can’t bemoan the lack of resources, opportunities, and support when you yourself have not made yourself available. This is the true power of availability- it unlocks the doors of life with limitless potential.
If you’re truly committed to achieving success, then you must be available to the possibilities in life. By showing up to the table, you make yourself known and allow the world to see your potential. I recently advised one of my clients who wanted to become a writer. To bring her dreams to fruition, she must become a part of the writer’s circle. This means attending events and seminars about writing, immersing in the culture, and finding a mentor who can help her reach her goals. Make yourself available to the limitless possibilities that await you!
Be part of the crowd that GOES to and BE in the event, instead of the crowd that only reads about it in newspapers. Actively engage with what’s happening around you and jump into the life that is happening. Because trust me, there’s something out there! Rise above the mundane and put yourself out there! Be available; make yourself available to all that life has to offer. Put yourself on the path to success by being proactive and raising your hand in the crowd.
Start taking action to create the life of your dreams! Financial security, rewarding work, a healthy physique, an educated mind — the possibilities are limitless. If you can envision it, you can achieve it. Don’t let obstacles stand in your way — the world won’t move around you; you must move to claim your destiny. Remember: A parked car gives a dog a comfortable place to rest. Take the lead and shape your own future!
Plan of Action:
1. Draw up a plan and set a goal for what you want to achieve.
2. Get informed and do research. Connect with experts in your field, other successful achievers, and people who have experienced the journey you want to embark on.
3. Take action – Attend seminars, network, and reach out to mentors who can mentor and provide guidance.
4. Make sure you are the part of the crowd that actually GOES to the event rather than sitting at home reading about it.
5. Actively engage with the opportunities that arise in your network and jump into life.
6. Seek advice and support from others to stay motivated and build relationships that are beneficial to your growth.
7. Take ownership of your development and actively improve the skills, knowledge and resources to create the life of your dreams.
8. Reflect on your progress and keep pushing forward towards achieving your goals.
