THE WHY IN THE WHAT ~ By Humphrey Kubheka

I believe that inspiration is a source in a great life lived. Inspiration is the thing that moves one from a very dull, uninteresting and hopeless state of being. To an energised, clear minded and purposeful state of being. I know for one that if I were to keep pursuit of my goals and plans, a sense of inspiration needs to be present. And so as you set off to achieve, accomplish and to reach whatever objective or desired results, mostly it is with that sense of inspiration that you begin your respective endeavours. But as with many of us, while on our way pursuing our visions things somehow get to a dull, fussy and hopeless state. Even the very thing you set out to do seem quiet dull and pointless.  Your energy levels and drive all but dissipate. Your efforts and input seems to yield not much desired results and with that comes a lot of negative self talk like:” do I think I am really going to make it? Maybe my vision is just too lofty to be actually realized” and so forth. To the point where the thought of even the goal you set out to achieve have turned to a thought that mocks you.

All of this eventually leads to a somewhat depressive state of being. You start to doubt your resourcefulness, your tenacity down to everything you dared thought you were. All of life as we know it seems pointless and cruel to you. Just like most of us, you set off with a sense of great clarity, focus and determination, but somehow you find yourself disoriented. You find you are not sure as what else to do or the next thing to do to move closer to your dream or goal. You find there’s virtually no resource at your disposal and you have no other person who can assist you emotionally, intellectually or materially. Something happened and it happened quite insidiously with little or no awareness from your part. Something that dries out all inspiration and a sense of purpose.

The very thing that gets blurred is the Why you want to do what you want to do. The moment you reconnect and come back to basics, the very thing that moved you to get up in the first place and say I am doing this, is the very thing that will set your mind, body and spirit to the condition it needs to be in and that condition is Inspired, energised, focus and determine. You’ll know that you are just a few more steps away from that success you desire, when you get back to your roots. My roots for example is to move people to a better them in a soul level through my wisdom and art forms I’m inclined in. just the thought of impacting another soul or human being with my expressions and knowledge is the ultimate source of inspiration for me.

And to find the How in the What, we need to take care to remember the Why.” Why do I really want to do this? And only you can determine what it is that moves you to do what you want and need to do. It is in the Why where the How is answered. It’s in the Why were your mental capacity expands and offers answers to the How. So to get back to a point of clarity, focus and determination- get back to what the soul desires to achieve. Remind yourself Why do you want to start and finish this that you want. The moment you spend adequate time on that, the quicker you become clear, focused and inspired to finish.

Business 101: Becoming an Investor.

What is one of the key disciplines that any successful corporation practises? INVESTING. Every business relies on investing for success, and for the incredibly successful businesses they invest like crazy; in R&D, and product lines. Heck, even our own economy relies on investors in order to grow. So why not be an investor. Probably the first and almost immediate objection to this suggestion is "I don't have money to invest." And I for one, am completely in agreements with that. However, why not invest the one resource that you always have at your disposal - TIME . That's right. Invest your time. Ah, suddenly it seems so obvious now doesn't it, but would you like to guess on how many people actually overlook this important fact? (By the way, this is can well be a lecture on time management). And since all investment have the dominant factor of Time in them, why not begin by turning your focus on this one incredible resource and use it to your personal investmen...

The truth behind the truth!

What is truth? Maybe the truth about truth is there is no Truth, just perception or consciousness. Just as we can't taste sound or hear yellow or smell hard, truth is just perceptual and subjective to the mode of perception. Yellow is true to the eyes because they can see it, yet not true for the ears because they can't hear it. And yet both are valid perceptual avenues. Reality is the illusion Thought/Perception/Consciousness is what's real.   In this world there are two kinds of truths: real truth and notions that you have convinced yourself are truth. However as I have always observed, truth is a very subjective phenomenon. Subject to your personal viewpoint or point of reference, which is determined by your perception or  paradigm   So debating about what is true and what is not, is like trying to discredit knowledge with knowledge (e.g. science and religion). The truth is that there is no absolute truth (well not in human perspective) because our perceptions a...

Generation eXcellence

I was reading some wonderful notes from Robin Sharma's Little Black Book of Stunning Success ( http://www.robinsharma.com/leadership-best ) and a thought crossed my mind: have we settled for mediocrity in our society?  Have we  allowed ourselves to tolerate mediocrity in our lives, because the truth is we interact with the aspects of the world which match our own standards. We see the world not as it is but as we are . How often do we offer less than our best to the quality of relationships with ourselves and things.? Are we allowing the quality of our lives be compromised due to what everybody else is doing? This is even evident  to how we  treat nature. The care with which we have for our natural environment is something of grave concern, and many defend this mediocre behaviour with "everybody else is doing it." and the worst one yet, "We are creating jobs for others"  Have we accepted me...
