MOST people are not enjoying or living the life that they really desire.
They are caught up in self-inflicted jails. Mind-based cocoons have made them to live within the spheres of mediocrity.
They have fear to delve into the purpose-driven lives.
Their minds have registered that if they chose a different life they might end up broke.
At times they really have the true mind-picture of what they want to be but because of those chuckles they live in their small worlds where external factors determine their fate.
I was evoked to write this article after a motivation talk I had with students at the National University of Science and Technology.
I asked about five students what they really would want to spend their lives doing.
I was shocked to discover that about 60% of the respondents where studying what is outside their true passion.

In other terms, they have this mindset that I should find something to do that will help me get a job and get by.
Given all the tools, money and resources of your choosing, what would you spend your life doing to create a life that you want? Most people are busy acting a script that has been written to them by life, friends or family. It’s time to write your script and chose and be the main actor.
Your grades at your Ordinary Level should not be the one making you choose the subject combination you are going to do at Advanced Level.
Your symbols at Advanced Level should not choose for you the degree you are going to do at university.
Your deep seated passions should determine the life you want to live the rest of your life.
School teachers have a big role in the lives of their students. In fact, the same teachers, instead of us celebrating them, we have lived to regret why we listened to them. Because they had a bigger role and influence over our lives they made us live a life through their eyes.
The role of the teacher should be the one to give me wings to fly.
Personally, I think there are things that I have learnt at school that I will never desire to do if I was given a second chance to.
At times people carry theories that they will never use in their life time.
On the other hand people are caught up in a maze of frustration because they are busy at a job that gives them more stresses and the only day they enjoy is when they get their pay check.
Students are busy reading for a course at university that they don’t even love.
Think and chase after your purpose. We are wired differently and we are made for different purposes. As the late Dr Myles Munroe would say, “Where purpose is not known abuse is inevitable.”
Your discovery of your true purpose is the key to your fulfillment.
The most important thing you need to change as to shift your life immediately and have quantum leaps to your results is alter your paradigm.
This is the bases or foundation of how you have performed so far in life.
We need to reinstall your mental software to determine your performance and your results in life.
You physical results are a reflection of your inner activity. Your results correspond to your inner patterns or paradigms.
In a nut-shell this is what we call belief systems (see previous article on belief system).
Why belief systems?
They SCALE your life. SCALE is an acronym I created to show the obvious reasons how your belief systems affect your life as explained below:
Sift: Your belief systems have an effect on how you judge or sift through life. The meaning we get from life is because of our belief systems.
As Winston Churchill once said “The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.”
Choice: Our internal thought-line determine our choices.
Some people have chosen certain jobs because of the monetary value attached to it, where as others are doing same job because they love doing it. That’s choice!
Awareness: Our belief systems make us to be aware of our chosen life style. Awareness is not only result of availability of an object, but your interest in it.
Limitations: Our limitations in our minds and our life, is mainly because of belief systems. Remove all limiting thoughts, affiliations and affirmations and live your best life.
End result: Results don’t lie. Results are determined by your belief systems that you act on. Today, you can change your results, your net worth and your life style.
It’s time to break out from your limitations and the boss of your destiny!
