Self-Autonomy: The Power To Resources Control

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

To truly possess anything, you must first possess control over yourself. Without self-authority, you’re at the mercy of others, and forced to appease them to maintain the possessions they give you. Every man was created with enough potency to manage resources. Without or with lack of resources life is difficult to contain so short-changing yourself of the power within you begins resource lack

The Power of Control

Control is the ability to attract, possess and distribute resources that matter in your life. It’s the capacity to negotiate and offer value, even when resources are held by others.

Salt Analogy

A housewife who befriends a neighbour has wisdom she has created a relationship to ask for salt in times of need, demonstrating the value of relationships in accessing resources.

Forms of Influence

To exert control and attract resources, consider these five forms of influence:

1. Relationships: Building connections and networks. Who are you relating with, and what resources are you likely to gain? When making relationships, it’s essential to be selective. If you have more people who want to benefit from you than you have to offer, your control over resources may dwindle. Build relationships that bring you resources.

2. Bankable Ideas: Offering innovative solutions and value. If your ideas generate profits, other people are likely partner with you. Push proposals to help you secure funding.

3. Win-Win Situations: Creating mutually beneficial agreements. Some corporations prioritize maintaining a positive reputation; if you project a good image, they may be willing to sponsor you. Take your time to study organisation so that you can chameleon your looks to suit their needs

4. Purchase Power: Using financial resources to acquire what you need. Saving money and engaging in profitable investments will grant you purchase power, enabling you to buy what you want. Every cent must multiple before it is used.

5. Command: Exerting authority and leadership. In certain areas, resources are rightfully yours. For instance. Certain Resources arise from your birth rights and several other rights bestowed on you. If you own rural land, you can lease it to a reliable farmer.

By understanding and harnessing these forms of influence, you’ll be better equipped to take control of your life and attract the resources you need to succeed.

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...
