Coloring Souls

Death may not necessarily mean death, but for sure a lifeless meaning; no growth, no prosperity and/ or no some sort of purpose. It is like looking for a black cat in a dark room. Knowledge is a powerful tool for it positions one towards their destiny. When you are knowledgeable about certain things in life, you gain an upper strength and control over certain matters that could potentially catapult your life in all amazing ways. Let us take the most successful entrepreneurs across the globe. They all have one thing in common.
Despite being wealthy, they have all identified a problem and dug deep to understand it in order to solve it. They gained knowledge on the people or consumers’ pain points, and developed a countering measure in a form of a service or a product.
We now have solutions to satisfy our needs or wants because knowledge was exploited by someone and disposed to us at a certain fee.
If you do not read, and/ or research, you shall remain a customer for the rest of your life, or perhaps an employee. I do admit that you have been to a college or a university, you have some degrees to your name but if you do not dive beyond that to seek more wisdom and knowledge, you will never be rich or wealthy.
In fact, most business people do not have such extraordinary qualifications because they cannot shake the world but rather they highly cherish their brains and feed them with proper and ideal food; knowledge and wisdom.
Have you realised that if you lack knowledge you also lack the confidence to make certain life changing decisions. You become absolutely mute amongst the elite as if you do not exist and that makes opportunities to pass you by.
But those that are well vested with information, position themselves in moments of opportunities and seized them. The only knowledge we seem to be interested in is petty social talks that cannot take us anywhere. It is all we dig in our social media platforms yet there is also treasure information on the same platforms.
Why do Company Secretaries locally exploit us, is it because we are totally clueless about what is expected from us by the Registrar of Companies? We cannot simply research what it takes to open a business or company and how much it cost and end up paying ridiculous amounts of money to own such.
Due to lack of the knowledge, even the most schooled individuals are shy to navigate applications that could assist them to accomplish such a goal but the systems are built to accommodate anyone, even the lame person, to fully utilise.
There is no rocket and science about them. All applications are the same, you just need to know how to read and understand what prompts are requesting of you.
It is high time we start to think beyond the box, outside in fact. Instead of seeking who has done what on our socials that has no meaning to our lives, we must dedicate some time to researching about our points of interest and how to make them viable so that we change the phase of our lives for the better.
Read more newspapers and magazines or even textbooks. School does not mean only the erected buildings that we once went to wearing some kind of uniform. Life itself is a school and the learning will never seize to stop.
It is only knowledge that could separate us from poverty and place our feet on the highway to greatness. We all have brains which function like those who are at the top of the economic realm, it is just that we are not empowering them adequately and exploiting what they can yield for us. Start the learning process today and your life shall never be the same.
