Someday Will Never Come

As we are heading into the new year it is quite to be caught in the trap of planning and setting out your new year's resolutions.

Planning to do something later is exactly the same as not doing it. Putting off joy and fulfillment until later is the same as abandoning that joy and fulfillment.

It’s easier to say you’ll do it later, but what that almost always means is that you’ll never get it done. Choose to do it now, or not to do it now, but don’t fool yourself by pretending you’ll do it later.

Someday has never come, and never will. The day you actually have; to act, to speak, to learn, to grow, to love, to experience, is the day you’re in.

Start now, not tomorrow or someday or when you get the chance. Start now, and keep going now, and fill each moment with meaningful substance as it comes.

Right now is when you can live your life, and change your life, and enjoy the exquisite beauty of existence. This moment is when you can step forward and get good, useful, loving and significant things done.

It is truly a joy to be alive, so choose to be fully alive right here and now. Live and give and work and love and experience, not someday, but this very amazing day.

Most Out Of Life

"Let the world know why you are here and do it with passion." - Wayne Dyer

Whatever space you’re in, seek to fill it with positive energy and light. Whatever task you’re doing, approach it as if it is the most important and fulfilling job you’ve ever done.

Treat each person with whom you interact as the most highly respected person in the world. Look upon every experience as the most valuable experience you’ve ever had.

Those who find the most meaning and fulfillment in life are those who give the most to each moment, to each person and each activity. The world in which you live is the world that your choices create.

The most valuable opportunities are those to which you give the best of your attention, effort and commitment. The luckiest people are those who choose to create their own good luck.

Every situation is a situation to which you can add value. Every moment is a moment to which you can offer love, beauty and positive purpose.

If you wish to get the most out of life? Then choose to be the most positively alive.

In memory of Wayne Dyer, may your soul rest in peace.

Spot The Opportunities That Your Problems Present

A lot of the great men and women that we look up to today did not have it easy along their way, plenty of the opportunities that they had often came disguised as problems, overcoming obstacles became their daily routine but they chose not to succumb to them, they chose to make fortunes from unfortunate situations.

It has been said by a wise man that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but we are powerful beyond measure, that power that is being referred to can be used to build or destroy, it has been granted to each one of us and we are all given a choice regarding how we want to use that power.

Problems present themselves daily, some have nothing to do with us, and some affect us directly but we determine the strength of each problem, if we choose to only see it as a problem and nothing else then it grows and becomes just that, a massive problem we cannot control, however if we look for a possible opportunities and solutions to the problem then we diminish the strength of the problem and magnify the power of the opportunity that the solution gave rise to.

When faced with adversity, it is the choices we make that are most important; this is what defines us and teaches us a lot about ourselves.  Irrespective of what you are faced with at this present moment, know one fact, which is that it will not go away unless you proactively choose to make it go away and the only way you can do that is by changing the way you think because the current state of thinking contributed to prolonging your pain, thus it only makes sense to try an alternative method of dealing with the pain.

The best thing about this newly found cure is that it comes packed with life antibiotics which will help you to be better prepared the next time you experience any setbacks and this will ensure that you spot the opportunities in your problems a lot quicker in future.

Embrace The Day

What you do, do with passion. As you live, fill life with meaning. 

Each moment is a precious, irreplaceable bundle of unique and immense value. Each and every day is an opportunity to add great new richness to your life.

Don’t get caught up in obsessing over what went wrong or what might not work out. Instead, get completely caught up in making the very best of what is, when it is.

There is no need to wait a moment longer to experience the fulfillment you seek. The possibilities are here and now, and you can act decisively to bring them to life.

Let the shortcomings serve as guides for where to make improvements. Let each disappointment remind you why it is so important to bring your dreams to life.

Embrace today for all it is, and resolve to live it fully. Give your absolute best, and what you get will be even better.

Lessons

Life is a journey and not an event but in this journey there are many events that measure our progress along the way, we must be mindful when things do not go according to plan of what it is that we did not do right for the end result to not be to our liking, we all like to believe that we gave it our all, however it is important to be humble enough to acknowledge where we went wrong so that we can correct that the next time in order to achieve the desired end result.

The acronym for FAIL is First Attempt In Learning, if you think about it everything takes practise before being perfected because while you practising mistakes are allowed and it is through those mistakes that we learn to become experts in what we have practised for a long period of time.

We have been learning from the day we were born and we will continue to learn until our final breath. Lessons come in different forms, some are disguised as pain and anguish, some in classroom set ups and others in what happens to those around us; no matter how you choose to look at any situation, you are not exposed to it for the sake of it ,because we are all humans made from flesh and are prone to similar situations; however if we learn from one another then we can avoid making similar mistakes in our first attempts thus making our progression somewhat smoother because we know better.

Lessons contain seeds of growth and prosperity but you need to appreciate those seeds in order for you to plant them wisely and nourish them so that their purpose can be fulfilled, there are always many opportunities to do something better but at the end of the day it is all about you; and whether you are willing to do it better or not will determine how you seize that moment.

The great lesson today is to get things done no matter what because the only way we will ever learn is if we get started, make mistakes, acknowledge them then pick ourselves up and try again; but if we sit back and do nothing then the only lesson that will be learnt is that nothing happens; so if nothing is happening then use that as a lesson that you need to start making things happen by getting up and doing something.

Unearthing Raw Talent

I had the pleasure of interviewing Jackie Van Graan founder and CEO of Raw Talent Builders which is a skills training and recruitment company which she has just started with the hope to curb the lack of skilled young people in South Africa.

“It actually all started with the state of the nation address, I felt a desire to build something that I can eventually leave for my kids. I realised that there are so many opportunities in our country but there is no one that is taking the time to upskill our young people, so I decided to start my own company.” Jackie explains about what inspired her to start Raw Talent Builders.

Lured by the desire to make a better life for her family coupled with the passion she had to empower the youth of the country, Jackie left a management position with a lucrative salary and pursued the lonely life of entrepreneurship

“It wasn’t a challenging decision to make really, there wasn’t anything that could stop me. I just woke up in the morning and told my boss that I am resigning, somehow I felt like everything will be okay. It was a risky decision really because I am a single mother of three and I had to think about them, but I am happy and I am fulfilled, I am doing what I love.”

“I have always wanted to be the CEO of a company but then I realised that being CEO means that I still have to report to someone so I decided to be my own boss. I knew I was going to do something around education because I have always found pleasure in upskilling and coaching people hence I started Raw Talent Builders.”

Raw Talent Builders is an innovative skills training company that helps young people develop the necessary expertise required in the workplace to help them flourish. Its services are beneficial for the both the employee and the employer, it also caters for both junior level employees as well as managers.

“It works in a two fold process for both job seekers and employers and there are three legs to the process. We get guys that are looking for jobs and place them in a four day intense workshop where we train them in all the basic call centre skills that you need to help you prosper. The great incentive is in that you only pay us 50% for the workshop and the other half you will pay us once you have a job.”

Raw Talent Builders focuses greatly on sales, customer care and retentions training. Jackie has over 7 years of experience of which 5 years are in management ranging across all three skillsets and she uses her wealth of experience to help develop world class call centre agents that put client centricity at the helm when executing their duties.

The service includes lifelong mentoring and coaching sessions to help you climb up the corporate ladder. They train you to have a billionaire mind-set and always thrive to do the job better than anyone else and this is an initiative that starts from the first day in class until you feel that you don’t need their support anymore. The workshop is designed for both job seekers as well as anyone else who already has a job and feels that they need a bit of upskilling to push them to the next level in their current position.

" We are now also moving onto the retail industry to train on front line sales and customer service"

In the next three to five years Jackie hopes to open branches in all the nine provinces in the country and build a sustainable training centre that can help alleviate the lack of skilled youth in the workplace as well as establish South Africa as a country known for great customer service. Jackie believes that the only way we can reduce the high employment rate in the country is through entrepreneurship, she has seen a huge gap in the market and has taken an initiative to fill it.

If you are struggling to get a job interview or maybe your current employer is not seeing the potential you have to take you to the next level then get in touch with Raw Talent Builders and you can be guaranteed that your career will take a turn for the better, you will be able to reach heights you never imagined possible because they will help you unleash your full potential.

Make Life's Richness A Full-time Job

If you quit before the work is completed, the work you’ve done is wasted. Honor the time and effort you’ve already put into it by finishing what you started. 

If you plant a seed, and water it just for a few days, and then stop, you might as well have never planted it. Remember to direct your focus again and again toward those things you’re committed to completing.

Being inspired for a few minutes or for a day or two feels good. Being inspired for a lifetime is what actually achieves good and valuable results.

Remind yourself what a truly extraordinary opportunity you have by virtue of being you. Then remind yourself again, and again, on every day, in each new situation.

Feel the exquisite joy and purposeful power of being alive. Then commit yourself to staying connected to that feeling.

Don’t settle for just a few moments here and there of brilliance and inspiration and true richness. Make life’s richness a full-time job.
