Trust Objective Thinking For Positive Outcomes

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

Choosing objectivity over subjectivity can be a game-changer in achieving success. By focusing on objective goals and being stubborn about specifics, individuals can bring their vision to reality.

The Limitations of Subjective Perceptions

Subjective perceptions can be limiting and influenced by individual experiences, biases, and fears. Allowing perceptions to guide decision-making can hinder success chances.

The Benefits of Objective Goals

Objective goals offer numerous benefits, including:

- Specificity: Clearly defined goals that are easy to understand. You gather up information and set out means of achieving your chosen specific goals. It is a deliberate process that you freely undertake obstacles to reach an aim.

- Measurability: Quantifiable goals that allow for progress tracking. Effort put can be measured, say an athlete would like to run a 100m race and outpace competitors. The practice leading to the race can guide if he is good enough to beat set records and outpace competitors he is aware are as fast. By timing his attempts during practice, he is able to quantify and trace.

- Achievability: Realistic goals that are attainable based on available resources. It is something that you can actually see shaping up without any word assurances.

The Role of Willpower and Passion

Objective goals can ignite willpower and passion, driving individuals to take action and make their vision a reality. Unlike subjective perceptions, objective goals demand action and progress.

Overcoming the Limitations of Subjective Perceptions

To overcome the limitations of subjective perceptions, individuals can:

- Seek diverse perspectives: Engage with others to gain new insights and challenge existing perceptions. One major weakness of perspectives is that of unresearched thesis. Everything is speculation, so taking something seriously that hasn’t been tested to prove its truth will be catastrophic.

- Focus on objective criteria: Use data and facts to inform decision-making. The other problem with decision-making is that of populism. We tend to make decisions based on popularity. It’s at times better to be unpopular while making a decision that will later be popular.

- Set clear goals: Establish specific, measurable, and achievable objectives. Perceptions form every day, and if you accept them, you will not follow any path, but you will move in circles.

Achieving Success through Objectivity

By embracing objectivity and setting clear goals, individuals can increase their chances of success and bring their vision to life.

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-...
