Challenge yourself

The great pleasure in life is doing things what people say you cannot do

Walter Bagenhot

The great lesson that we can learn from this saying is that we have to be challenged. We can see that the need to prove ourselves is a real human need. It is therefore important to create challenges when none exist, set targets, tell people about your targets and then except the challenge to achieve. These targets should be set within your dream ability, within your vision. What does this mean? You have an ability to visualize yourself in a situation, see yourself doing certain things. Anything you visualize you can achieve, as long as you can imagine the result. If you cannot see yourself doing something, you need to create more faith in yourself, you need to first believe that you can achieve before you set this target. Set targets within your current scope and the challenge are on, you might lose faith if you set targets that you cannot imagine.

Imagination is our drawing board, our planning room, our personal ops. room. It is in this room where our minds strategise, plan and finally develop the time-line to achieve the vision.

Close your eyes for 5 minutes every morning and see yourself achieve, see yourself doing what you want to achieve and leave it to your powerful mind to lead the way.

And remember don’t let setbacks break the vision, rather let the vision break the setback. See your setbacks as learning curves; use the information from the setback to strengthen your vision. Never ever give up, never ever become a quitter.
