THE DARING YOU!!

In his collar torn shirt and baggy shorts, James walked into a Car sale. The attendant was shocked at the audacity in which James approached the most expensive vehicle in the shop. He asked for a test drive, the worker had to ask the manager to come and address James. The man in charge kindly asked James to produce a license, which he did not have, – which made it impossible for him to test drive and not to mention the other requirements.  Against all odds, penny-less, broke, James entered a Car sale and asked to test drive the most costly machine in stock.  This shows us that the man was daring, he was led by his ego to walk into the shop despite his appearance. It is important though, that you know this – the way you are dressed is the way you will be addressed. Yes you can wear torn clothes but iron them – make them look good on you but this is another days’ talk.

When we examine the above scenario – we can see that this guy was bold, courageous and focused on his goal. He was not held back by his status. It is true some of our friends who were raised in poor environments are ruled by fear, extreme low self-esteem, to the extent of not enquiring on what they desire to know. The mindset is designed to accept whatever comes and therefore they don’t increase in knowledge, or advance. When you liberate your mind from the bondage of lack, fear – you can exercise boldness and accommodate abundance. To be daring is to be brave, to be bold – to approach or do something your ancestors have never done, though they might have attempted in thought not in action. There is this one thing that always made your heart beat drums whenever you thought of doing it, daring is when you cage that rising feeling of fear and do that thing – and please note, this has to be something under the laws of Zimbabwe.

When you set yourself out to do something daring you need to have content. Remember to dare is not to be stupid, but to be crazy. Yeah go and book an appointment with the CEO of that company. You are sure of how good you are and how your expertise will enhance his business – so take him on. Don’t be crying with your certificate under your bed gathering dust when you know you are the best there is. Get up, dress well, put on your Christmas clothes, wear your best and approach the company. One thing is you should be sure of what you want, have content, be ready to prove your worth. Materialistic grading has destroyed so many people. Don’t judge yourself because you don’t have a cell-phone when you have qualities to create one – all you need is a platform and it will not come on a silver platter.  Always know that, it’s either they will say no or they will hire you but one thing is they will not kill you, as long you are within righteous boundaries. I call it the mad man’s theory, no fear no boundaries but full of quantity.

Always talk to yourself – tell the man inside he can do it. This nation is saturated with thinkers and attempted ideas. Cultivate a culture of not giving up too early. People talk of Bill gates being a college dropout as if he had failed schooling – I believe he was daring enough to pursue what he wanted at an early stage than waste time learning eighty percent of things he would never need to be a computer programmer. This takes us back to content, Bill had content, he had a vision and by dropping college he was positioning himself for who he is today. The reason why you don’t dare is because you are not passionate about it and it is not a burning desire to do whatever it is you want to do. It is like when hunger strikes, one can do whatever possible to feed, even steal – hunger would have driven him.

Be different, dare the daring.  Imbibe the mad man’s theory – it is you who needs the change, so go for it. The reason why you haven’t risen is because you fear to rise but you want to rise. There is someone somewhere who needs your abilities. Hey it doesn’t matter who tried and failed – that’s them, don’t measure your capabilities by who has done what. You are your own person, if its good then go for it. Learn to have blinkers that guide you to where you want to get. If you have never tried, how do you know you can’t when you have assurance you can. Let your assurance of making it, rise higher than your fears. You have what it takes – you can be what you want to be. Dare. There is nothing that can stop a purpose driven man, there should be a reason for applying boldness to what you do.

Go ahead and be bold. Do things within the region of the laws and regulations of the nation. Don’t wake up and say I want to dare the daring by stopping the President’s motorcade – you will be shot dead on the spot. I mean which fool does such a thing – but you never know there is always someone who reads and sees things differently. I want to believe you are not that kind of person. Remember, don’t stop at the secretary’s desk if you are not satisfied, ask for the manager – get what you want. Never enter the secretary’s mind and think on her behalf as if you are bothering her – she applied to be one, it’s her job to be bothered by you. If you turn back you might have shattered an opportunity to become her boss – so if you need to see the manager make sure you do.

You are the best of you. Make time for meditating your desires. Always know there is no door closed to you, and unapproachable situation in the World. Be bold in your approach, you can make it.
