    There is a remarkable minority quietly taking over the World.

    Art. Commerce. Technology. Children o the continent are setting

    the pace or the uture. This is a good time to be in A rica.

    Yet in contrast, we now have more than ever be ore, more sad, unhappy, un ul lled,rustrated, addicted people, both among the wealthy and poor alike.

    Are there people destined to unhappiness and unfulfilment?What are those who are living remarkably doing that the rest arent?

    # 1: The Dream.Theres a particular place in the World that God created oryou to plug into and occupy!

    This is your own path to explore, your own purpose to live or. You might already know what that is.

    Or you might need to put in time and conscious e ort to nd it.

    And even when you do nd it, your ears, your past, they might get in the way. Sometimes youll

    not be sure you can make it.

    But you must stay determined.YOU HAVE TO. ITS YOUR DREAM.

    # 2: The Dream-giver.When a seed is planted in the ground, all you can do is

    water it. You cannot control the sunshine, the weather orwhether pests will destroy it .

    You can chase your dream all-day long and still nothing happens: give business cards, network withthe right people, tweet, blog, interview, knock on doors, do your hustle every day o your li e. The

    person who both knows the purpose o your existence and the path that you should ollow is He

    that created you.

    Spend time with the dream-giver, learn to listen to His distinct voiceHOLD ONTO HIM, HE KNOWS YOUR PATH BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.

    # 3: The Journey.The pursuit o your dream will most likely be the singlemost intense thing you will do .

    Interestingly, most dreams end be ore they even start. Whats the #1 killer? FEAR.

    Fear that youre not good enough, ready enough, or qualifed enough

    ...That its too much work, too hard or too pain ul;

    ...That others wont understand you, or that you may lose ace with amily or riends;That list goes on and on, but most common o all, is to ear that you will ail.

    But we wouldnt want to accept were afraid...

    So we make excuses.Explanations that most times actually makelogical sense, that help us eel better about not doing what we know we need to. For

    example, I dont have enough capital or I dont know the right people or I have a

    amily now.

    Then we procrastinate.We dont tell ourselves, Im never going to.Instead we say, I am going to; Im just going to start tomorrow. Or when I have enough

    money/experience or (insert other excuse).

    Finally we settle for less.Eventually its so much easier to justsettle or whats less risky, more widely acceptable or perhaps much more amiliar.

    And, fear wins.

    We all have moments of retrospect.Moments to evaluate where we are in relation to where we need to be. This can bea scary and dark place and most times were a raid we might not like what we see.

    Were wrong i we think were the only ones struggling with ear. Everyone who has a

    body experiences ear. We dont stop to ear; we ace it, we learn to master it and then

    we step out despite ear.

    courage | krd [noun]

    the ability to do something that frightens one;

    FearLESS is not the absence of fear. Rather, despite of it.
