AS a young person, I thought I needed to do particular courses at university to have all the money I needed However, as I grew, I realised that every human being has their own special wiring and intelligences I had to accept that there are things I should not do We have to accept that we can’t do everything, but we can do specific things and still win There are a number of things which are in your power to control What you do with these things, and how you seek to improve them, will determine your success in life There are things that affect our lives that we worry ourselves over, but we have no power over them You can’t control other people’s actions, the past, the opinions of others, what happens around you or what people think of you and that liberates you in so many ways However, if you are always thinking about what other people are thinking about you, you might make decisions based on wanting to please them and that makes it hard to truly control your personal life My favourite author, American author, speaker and pastor John C Maxwell, says, “A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them.” We need to admit that we are wrong and we make mistakes We become masters through mistakes We are polished through pain When I look into my past, I always wish there was a better life I wish I had access to better schools I wish I read my books more so that I could have had better grades Some might wish they did more for their late parents A five-minute action took over 15 years to recover from Such is life What’s that thing you regret doing, or wish you had acted upon in time You can’t change the past Make peace with your past We are bombarded by polished images of success from every angle When you think about it, it might seem as though you have been left behind When you sit at that table to eat, you might blame yourself for dropping crumbs Source: NewsDay Zimbabwe All Zim News is a central hub for all things Zimbabwean, curating news from across the country so no story is missed Alongside aggregation, our team of nationwide reporters provides real-time, on-the-ground coverage Stay informed and connected — reach us at admin@allzimnews.com.
