More dreams die
due to a lack of courage rather than a lack of means to achieve them.
That means one of
the most underrated words in the world is words of encouragement.
An encouraged
mind finds a way, but a discouraged mind can be shown a way and still sit on it
rather than walk it.
Today’s wisdom
lesson is meant to give you words of encouragement. These inspirational words will help you achieve your goals and live your
best life, forever!
The three keys
are:
Key 1. The Principle of One Thing
Learn to narrow
down all your desires to one main desire at a time.
This year only
hold "One thing" that you desire for your life, or for your Business.
Just one main
thing.
A person who desires too many things at once will likely end up with none.
Don't try to catch 2 birds with one stone, you will catch none.
When the year
begins, I normally tell members of my life classes...
Don't write many resolutions. Too many resolutions are a sign that you lack resolution.
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
As a principle,
make one main resolution per year - and focus on that.
If it's starting
a certain business - just focus on that, and nothing else.
My side: If it's
reaching a certain number of readers for my books or blog – I will just focus
on that for a year - nothing more, nothing less.
…Learn the Power
of the One Thing️
Principle.
If you really want to do something in a great way, let that ONE thing be the only thing you focus on doing.
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
Having too many
things to do will only make you feel overwhelmed before you even start - that's
why most people quit on their resolutions before even the first month of the
year ends.
Though your heart can desire many things, God gifted your mind with only one focus.
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
Write your One
Main Thing in your notebook today, and spend all your focus on making it happen
for the next year.
You will achieve
more when you follow the Principle of One Thing because the most powerful
distractions to success are NOT out there...
They are within
us.
Our greatest distractions are those many things we desire to pursue, while in the middle of pursuing something else. 😊
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
2. The Principle of the Seeker
What is a Seeker?
To Seek is to
diligently search for something, usually over a long time. A person
who seeks is called a Seeker.
Only failure comes by accident, if you want success you have to step out and look for it.
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
You have to be a Seeker!
Only lies and
half-truths come so easily to your ears - if you really want the truth about
how people succeed in marriage, business, and life, you have to step
out and diligently seek that truth.
Only dust and
dirt gather in your house on their own; if you want beautiful furniture, healthy
food on your table, and the car of your dreams in your garage - those my friend,
you have to step out and look for them.
It's NOT enough
to desire, desire must be followed by action for it to change your life
In my book Life Capsules for Success, I wrote
that,
It's not big ideas that change the world, it is the action that follows them.
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA | Life Capsules for Success
Just as I wrote
in the article
Action my friend,
is the magic wand that turns the dreams spoken by our hearts into tangible
things held in our hands.
The Promise of the Seeker
If you are
looking for a better life
If you are
looking for a better relationship, a better marriage, or even a better you!
Don't give up!!!
If you look for
something long enough, you finally get it.
I call that the “Promise
of the Seeker.” It is the Universe’s promise to all beings.
The promise is as
old as time itself and it echoes throughout the ages. That’s why over 2000
years ago Jesus said:
Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened, ask and it shall be given to you… for whosoever seeks, finds.
– JESUS CHRIST
The Advantage of the Seeker
One day while
studying military strategy, I had a spark of understanding that showed me the
power of seeking...
He who starts a battle has an advantage over the one who will defend after being attacked.
The offensive has more control over the battle than the defensive.
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
The same applies in life,
Don't wait for
problems to attack, stand up and build your life against them before they do -
and they will never attack you.
- Attack poverty before it attacks you (by managing and investing your money before any crisis).
- Attack sickness before it attacks you (by living and eating healthy rather than falling sick and start looking for healing).
- Attack evil before evil attacks you (by living right so that wrong never feels at home in your life).
He who fights the
enemy first has a better chance of victory than he who defends oneself from the
attack of the enemy.
In Africa, there
is a proverb that says
Not all who chased the gazelle caught it, but all those who caught it, chased it.
That means
If you really want something, don't let your fear of failing to catch it make you fail to chase it.
- MOFFAT MACHINGURA
You have to chase
it to catch it.
The Bushmen of
the Kalahari chase an animal the whole day and catch it when it has run
tired.
That is a lesson
for you and me, that...
You will find what you are looking for if you keep looking for it long enough.
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
Go well my
friend, the Seeker!
I no longer pray
that you find what you looking for - because I know you will find it.
I only pray that
you find the strength to keep chasing it till you catch it.
3. The Principle of Dwelling
What is to Dwell?
To dwell is to
stay in a place rather than just visit it.
When you visit a
place, you don't even need to unpack your bags.
But if you are
dwelling in a place, you unpack your bags, plant gardens, and even plant trees
in that place.
The Power of Dwelling
Sometimes you
don't get to see the beauty of your business idea, because you are too quick to
walk out before you have stayed long enough to see its profits.
Many don't get to
see the beauty of their love relationships, because they are bad at settling
down. They find good partners but keep searching for more lovers.
Learn to settle
down.
Settling down doesn't mean you don't have anywhere to go, it means you are now mature enough to understand that wanderers can't build anything.
– MOFFAT MACHINGURA
I took 7 Years
writing that Best-selling book How
I Kissed Heartbreak Goodbye
Now it has been
read in almost every part of the world, I get thank you messages from as far as
Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, China, UK, USA and even many parts of Africa.
If I didn't have
the 7-year patience and discipline of DWELLING in the idea of "kissing
heartbreak Goodbye," none of us would be benefiting from that book today
I had to dwell in
that idea, in order to see and manifest its beauty and benefits.
Be Patient
You can't get a baby in 3 months by getting 3 women pregnant.
Life is for the patient. The best things in life take time.
Some business
ideas take time, so don't quit now!
Some things in life
are like school - you don't have a right to say education is useless if you
only enter a classroom for one day.
You have to dwell
in it for years, learn to write and read, and advance your education - to see education transforming your life.
Special Message to You
If you really
want the wisdom you find on this website to work for you, then aim to dwell on
this website for the whole year rather than just visit for one day.
Listen...
You have probably
spent all your life (26 years, or 40 years) ruining your life, and you think
you will just find wisdom that solves all that in one article???
Or you have been
exposed to wrong beliefs and unwise thoughts all your life, and you just think
you will undo all that in just one day?
No! It doesn’t work
that way.
I say stay here
for some months if not years. Ask Questions in the comment section. Get
Answers. Try out the new ideas. If it works, keep it. If it doesn't - let's
work out another way!
I won't give up
on you, don't give up on yourself!!!
Bottom Line
When you find a
good idea, a good relationship, or any good thing to do
Know this...
You have to dwell
in it, in order to see the beauty of it 😊
Don't just be
placed on it, be planted into it. 😊
Stay long enough
till you are fruitful in it.
Don't be just a
visitor, be a resident.
Unpack your bags.
Settle down!
