Cultivating A Goal Oriented Mind-set

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

Without a clear focus on your goals, the future can be unpredictable. If you don't have a plan for it, it may not have a plan for you either. Here's a 5-point plan to help you cultivate a goal-oriented mindset:

5-Point Plan

1. Visualize Success

Live the future theoretically – Imagine yourself achieving your goals. Visualize the success, the feeling, and the benefits. This helps build willpower and motivation.

2. Challenge Limiting Beliefs

Stand stubborn to obsolete mechanisms – Identify and challenge negative self-talk, outdated beliefs, and limitations that hold you back. Replace them with empowering thoughts and attitudes.

3. Embrace Resilience

Accept setbacks – Recognize that obstacles and failures are temporary and inevitable. Instead of giving up, learn from mistakes and use them as stepping stones for growth.

4. Focus on Positivity

Spell every positive before they become a reality – Practice affirmations, focus on solutions, and celebrate small wins. This helps maintain a positive mindset and attracts opportunities.

5. Stay Humble

Be humble – Recognize that success is a journey, not a destination. Stay grounded, grateful, and open to learning and growth.

By incorporating these principles into your daily life, you’ll be well on your way to developing a goal-oriented mindset that will help you overcome obstacles and achieve your dreams.

My obituary to Rev E Kamupira

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Rev E Kamupira was my childhood model of Christianity, his teachings resonated well and shaped my beliefs. I knew Rev E Kamupira since my Sunday School days at St Stephens Chitungwiza Circuit. Sundays weren’t the same each time Rev Kamupira came to preach. Rev Kamupira was a product of United Methodist Church crusade of teachings though he had a Pentecostal touch that kind of made him popular within and without of United Methodist Church. His fearless gospel suited well with congregants in an independent Zimbabwe. From hearing his teachings far away from the terraces I ended up privileged sharing the same church with Rev Kamupira in Waterfalls. I had also rose to a promising Administrator in the United Methodist Church. I had a mutual relationship with Elison Kamupira. We discussed our church current affairs and shared the gospel. Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who ...

It’s Not The End Of The World

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga This story is based on a true story and I have edited names so that someone is inspired out there. Resilience makes great changes in people's lives, don't commit Suicide Fadzai sat on the edge of her bed, feeling empty and defeated. She had never felt so alone in her life. Thomas’s brief and dismissive response on the phone had left her reeling. She thought about her daughter, Rungano, who was now misbehaving at school, and how she was struggling to cope with the absence of her father. Thomas had gone to South Africa for greener pastures leaving Fadzai with their only daughter behind. The plan was to relocate to South Africa as soon as Thomas had settled. In the first six months Thomas supported Fadzai with groceries, school fees and rentals. A shift began after Thomas had started seeing other women in South Africa. Thomas started sending money enough for rentals, school fees and a few groceries. The...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...
