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.

Love, Sex, and Marriage: Three Sides of the Same Coin

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga In today’s society, the lines between love, sex, and marriage are often blurred. Sex has been commercialized and portrayed as a pleasurable act, while love is taught through upbringing and personal experiences. Marriage, on the other hand, has become a duty where two people often find themselves tied together due to sex and social prestige. Love vs. Sex Sex is a natural instinct, while love is a cultivated emotion that allows us to accommodate someone who is not ourselves. As I often say in my sessions with young adults, every creature that reproduces enjoys sex. However, it’s love that sets us apart. We can plan and work on love, tolerating and forgiving someone who is different from us. Love disciplines us on who to have sex with, and mutual desire is a design of our own making. While sex and love are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Sex is driven by inner feelings that aim to satisfy reproduction, whereas love is a choice that req...

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...

Richness is Not a Coincidence, While Poverty is a Choice

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Even when circumstances seem to offer no alternatives, choices still exist. These choices might be limited, oppressive, or unappealing, but they are choices nonetheless. The decision to pursue richness, unlike the circumstances that lead to poverty, is often deliberate and hard-won. Richness is not a chance occurrence; it is created. Those who achieve it have typically made conscious decisions, defying odds and pushing beyond familiar territories. In contrast, poverty often results from coerced or timid choices, stemming from situations created by those who comprehend the nature of richness. Strategies to Evade Poverty 1. Seek Opportunities, Even When None Seem Apparent : Be proactive, network, think creatively, and take calculated risks. 2. Don't Wait for Validation from Others ; Take Initiative: Self-validate, set your own goals, take ownership, and be decisive. 3. Overcome Objections and Challenges : Anticipate obstacles, develop problem-...
