Knowing your strength it is one of the step for moving into the road of success. Your strength it specifically focus on understanding your potential in your surrounding environment and be able to look opportunities as well as utilizing them for better improving of your well being. In our daily life people are failing to achieve on what they want because have no self realization. Self realization involves understanding of who you are?, why you are the way you are?, what situation you are living? ,do you enjoy the life you have?, if not what do you think you can do to move into the road of good life you want? Self awareness is the great challenge for many people and this weaken the concept of change.
Failure to understand yourself you can not set goal that need to attain. My experience in entrepreneurship and positive change facilitation I have come to recognize that people in individual or group business have no goal of which they want to attain. People always speaks many things which are not easy to evaluate for their progress. Failure to have vision marks no differences among the people in terms welll being. Goal setting is very essential attribute in promoting change and it is easy to do evaluation, assess the strategies we design finally we are able to change into holistic approach that can lead toward the road of success.
Also, thinking is another aspect to look upon when we want to change the world. Peeople's thinking are influenced by upbringing within the family, experience, norms and values as well as learning that person is exposed with. It seems that many people have dependant thinking that is why they remain the way they are. For example during my conversation with people in rural areas most of them depends on political promises and assitance from NGOs. They do not use their brain to think outside the box with independent mind. When these expectations from politicians and NGOs are not fullfilled, they start blaming without taking measure by looking of what they can do. If we are to achieve positive change in peoples' well fare, people should think independently without waiting for donors. By doing so vibrant change can not take longer to happen. This is what every body should opt for achieving sustainable change which is self driven rather than waiting for outside reinforcement. "I can" spirit should be encouraged at the early stage of growth.
Ability to look opportunity around you it is another aspect that trigger positive change of the world. There some people in rural areas who think that there is no opportunity in rural areas to mark for positive change. Thinks that opportunity of success are only found either in urban areas or for a certain group of people as the blessed. It is very important for every body to know that opportunity are everywhere the issue is how to identify them and utilize those opportunities for betterment of life.
Example of success story from one village where I have passed to facilitate tranformation of society I found something unique and surprizing to be found in rural area. The group of twenty villagers they had organised together to establish a nusery school in the village. At the begining many villagers were loughing at them. This village had no nursery programmes in the village. They built very good two rooms of which one is the office and one is the classroom. They found that at the time of establishment they had no skills of teaching which forced them to raise fund so as to take one of the youth in the village for teaching studies. It has taken three years since its establishment, they have succeeded to enroll the average of fifty student every year with a annual payment of 60,000 for six months. For parents who fails to afford they have to take their harvest into the office of this organization that have the value of the school fees which is paid annually. Then they found that there were shortage of clean and safe water, they built one tank and sell 20 liters of bucket for 500TSH. This project have changed the life of these organised people and many people are inspired but no chance to join.
The role of this success story is to show how opportunity are found every where the matter is how people utilize them. So people should not close their mind and eyes so as to be able to look for opportunity and utilize them. This can lead into remarkable changes that touches the wellbeing of the people.
It is better to set the plan on how to utilize opportunity around you in relation to the goal being set before. By doing so you can generate an idea of which you want to implement. In generating idea it is better to asses of your capabilities, weakness , opportunities and threats.
Anybody who concentrate on that can do something that can mark differences in the society at the end great change can be observed in the society.
