Hills of opportunit­y

-

Hare all humans created by one God, why do we do such to each other? :hy? It has come to my attention that humans focus on what is not right to do instead of doing the right thing.

They should be focusing on their dreams, where they¶re heading on, and not trying to depress other people¶s lives. Do you know that if a heart comes to a point where it¶s broken, the chanc es of it being mended are very slim? There are things in life that are meant to be ghosted, if I can put it like that in a gangster style but I hope you get the idea.

:hat I¶m trying to say is that if something doesn¶t sit well with you about your partner just leave in peace. There¶s one demonic I know and that is revenge. 9engeance hurts a lot of people in the name of hate and de stroyed them to the core.

%ut guys, think about this if all on earth revenged against those that hurt us, im sure we¶d all be enemies and enemies kill each other.

Then, think if it were for the name of µrevenge¶ some of us would be dead by now. Learn to let go even if it¶s not easy. )orgiving someone takes a lot of energy and thinking. %efore you forgive, your mind calls up a meeting with the heart and discusses the issue at hand so you see how it¶s such a long process.

Letting go doesn¶t mean you have for given that certain individual but you de cided to not pay attention and move on. I know what I¶ve just said is not an easy task to do because this includes the matters of the heart. It is said that the heart goes for what it wants. The same person you loved with all your heart hurts you so much more than a knife can ever do but there comes a point where you have to let go of all the grudges and move on. I don¶t know if here in (swatini we do have love specialist­s but I¶m sure they would agree with me on this one.

OBSESSION

I once watched a soapie named µTill the end of time¶. So, let me share with you a bit of what transpired. $ lady 0aya had an obsession with anoth er guy from work $rjun and 0aya loved $rjun a lot and ended up luring him with her money. There was this one time she decided to outpour her feelings to him.

Time went by and they dated and got married, and ever since marriage, her obsession got stronger such that $rjun learned about her obsession with her.

He divorced her and got married to his childhood friend and 0aya ought to murder the new lady of $rjun. Her love for $rjun overpowere­d her and the divorce part really hurt 0aya.

She decided to stalk them but in the end, she pushed $rjun to kill her and he did.

%efore she died, she confessed that her love for $rjun was too much for her to control hence she got $rjun to shoot her with a gun because seeing him being married to someone else devastates her had she had to die. It was a sad story.

I learned that you should walk away the minute you get hurt. Don¶t wait till it gets all packed up because it¶ll kill you one day. 0ove on with life, there are plenty of fishes in the lake.

$ successful life brings so much peace that you never thought you¶d ever have. Such things happen in life but we get up and chase our dreams. $ccomplish what you promised your self when you were young. 9(5< new year we think of our new plans we have for the coming business year. The new things we want to do, and we hope to create something new out of the year. 0any are planning brand new businesses, some of us are plan ning brand new business strategies. Some plan selling and buying of busi nesses. Then many are discussing new e[pansions, acTuisitio­ns, and mergers, throw into the mi[ new contracts and even new partnershi­ps. Yeah, planning is part of your world. In the beginning of the new year, we always feel so e[cited about what this new year is going to bring.

:e have the dreams and the hopes and e[pectations of a fantastic new year and that is good because we cannot take on a new year if we are already in a bad mental space. :e need to be positive; we need to be e[cited, and we need to be ready to go.

MOUNTAINS TO CLIMB

0ountains or the heights that we want to achieve are beautiful to climb and yes, we want to scale those rocks, we want to end up at the highest top and we want to look over the most breath taking views and scenery stating µYes, I¶ve done this¶, but the mountains are very false. It is not easy to climb a steep, dangerous or even daring mountain without help, without lots of strong ropes and eTuipment, and you must be familiar with how to climb rock face before you¶re even going to try and attempt it. Think of doing an (verest or Table 0ountain, rock face climbing in $ri]ona or $ustralia? So just like myself, if you are feeling like taking on the moun tain top this year, then make sure you are trained and have the best team as support. Have a back up plan before you take on the big one. This, I say, because while at it you will go through curvy paths and several waterfalls. Some flowing strong and many steady trickles just emerging from beneath the rocks slowly trickling from a rock.

BOTTOM

$t the bottom way down in the val ley it becomes a river, feeding many. Some became a rapid big gushing waterfall over a mountain cliff and off into a pool of very cold water but still feeding the eco system. So If you want to be a trickle or a gushing waterfall, think of the end result.

)eeding not only you but the greater community. :e need to scan the hills and mountains for the best opportu nities, we think what will be needed to reach the top and from that success comes flowing water for our commu nity and countries.

0ake sure you know where the wa ter is coming from, where the track is for the water to run down and what is on the end of the µpool¶ thus be part of your system.

If you want to go plain sailing this year like a small cruiser on a big dam, part of the greater group? That¶s also ok. 5emember water of a dam is very cold but it holds many riches. If you choose to opt for plain sailing, well go for it, use the richness the water sup plies. %e a good business neighbour or supplier or provider. Don¶t deplete the riches many need to come after you.

Teach others how to run your busi ness. The generation to come. -ust as many love water sports so you can teach many to love the business world. So yes, a solid business cliffs or waterfalls or just plain sailing, they all have a main focus, which is that of providing.

DREAMS COME TRUE

)or those who still have not decided what on earth this year it is that you are aiming for, that¶s also ok. -ust engage on a mental trip and envision yourself climbing a mountain and ask yourself these Tuestions, &an I be that one to tackle the mountains? Do I rather want the waters flowing? $m I the solid person that can make dreams come true when the wind is blowing the sails?

:hat do I want to achieve? $m I just going to tackle a small little hill and make it something great beautiful and then going over to a bigger one, or am I just going to go for the bigger hills this time, am I going to take a partner along?

am I going to sell my smaller hill and then go for the bigger one? $sking yourself these Tuestions will bring you so much perspectiv­e and further fuel you to greater heights. 2r maybe there is already a flowing green hill that you are taking on?

Look at all the things you see around you, look at the business world through a green lens this year. I hope you enjoy the greenery that you will build.

-ust remember the pool water does not have riches in and lounging around it will just be for off days.

I hope your is going to bring you mountains of opportunit­ies, lots of places to climb, lots of places to e[plore to be able to go higher and higher, and that you will have a green rolling hill business that feeds many. )or more of my reading follow me on, ZZZ QRQWREHH ZRUGSUHVV FRP ZZZ OLRQHVVHVR­IDIULFD FRP
