IT BEGINS WITH YOU

by kennedy C. katongo


Every day that comes, things are constantly changing and this means the formula you used last year cannot work this year. Today we have many people living on principles that are void, because they do things the same way their ancestors did them and they have

continued with that way. I have come to a point
where I have seen great businessmen fall, people who had everything on point but today they can’t be counted.

The world we live in is changing everyday
but people are still behind and as the run continues they find that they can no longer stay in the race.


Time to grow for me means embracing ‘change’ and being able to adapt to this world we are living in.

Time, according to the Cambridge Dictionary is that part of existence which is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. If time
can be measured this means at some point things have to change, in a certain part of existence and this is where the word ’grow’ comes in. grow; to increase in size or amount, or to become more advanced or
developed. If you try to connect the two definitions of the words time and grow you will find that, in this life that we live, there is a particular point where something about the way you view life has to change and true change takes effect when one advances or
develops at a certain skill.

But if you look at our country today (Zambia) you will notice that many people are afraid to change, they are too comfortable with where they are. An example is where you run a small shop near the road and for 5years that shop
has been there….does this mean the person makes no profit?.
A lady who sales Tomatoes at home
orders one box every week and her sells are okay but
you will find that she will continue in the same
manner for years and in this world where things are
changing at the blink of an eye she will become
poor simply because the world has changed but her
principles and way of planning are still the same.
In Zambia everyone wants to go to college and have a
good education, after that they all want to work for
some one.

Time to grow means looking within
yourself and finding something that you can use to change the world. If one match-stick can burn a forest, if one candle can be used to light up other candles then why can’t one person change the world?
It’s time we stopped waiting for other people to do things for us, we have potential and we have the ability to change things.
Each person has greatness in them and the world is waiting to see that great
substance that can be offered. Change begins with one step, it starts when you open your mind to learn, there are some things in life that you will only see if you embrace change in your life.
h
We don’t need to throw everything on the government; the president can never improve your lifestyle even if he created jobs you would still find yourself jobless because while others are advancing and moving forward you are still at home
complaining about government. It’s only when you change your thinking and start being radical with change then will things change in your life.
Education is the key to success but have in mind that it’s not the only key, changing from one thing to
another can be scary but its only when you take that step will your life unfold, one this you should have in mind is that it starts with you. Never spend your time waiting on someone. you are the architect of your own life and
you can be your own boss, learn from the best and
build your wall based on ideas from people who have
made it.
