Breaking chains that holds us back

 Breaking chains that holds us back, breaking all the ties that stops you from moving forward, identifying and grabbing the opportunity is what necessary and it’s what Youth should practice. Breaking societal rules is not allowed, as communities we all need these rules to live together in harmony. But what if all these rules are holding us back? What if the path created ahead of you isn't the one you intend on walking? What if your path exists beyond the boundaries and through which you can see the light?

Sibusiso Mbhele the Author of a book called “Why Sit There Till You die” has mentioned something powerful in the review of his book as thus:

We are all created with greatness within us but there are things which we surrender our potential to. Some of these things appear to be the most valuable things we cannot live without. Only to find they eat the core of our existence to an extent that getting rid of is hard. There are people around us who are defined as friends, love-ones, colleagues, family, business partners, team mates and etc. who does not add any value in our lives but take most of our precious time. Even though we realise that but it’s not easy to make decisions which will hurt them. (2015)

Every day we battle sameness as youth and we never want to grow out of it. Let look at how one youth at an early age of 23 years old Sandile Shezi has become South Africa’s youngest millionaire through forex trading. Looking at the opportunity, Sandile took all his tuition fee and invested it in forex trading. We not saying take your tuition and start trading with it, but we saying taking a risk to change your life for the batter is not a crime. Understanding the circumstances of the risks we take will help us pave a way through to fix the rules we broken. Understanding that eventually the tuition money will be asked back, Sandile has worked hard to make sure that his non-conforming behavior is replaced by something better.

Another example of people who broke the society rules was Jamie McIntyre and he is the Author of a number of publications including “leadership lessons we can learn from Nelson Mandela”, the famous “Wolf of Wall-street”. Jamie has been sent to university where he skipped the collage and went to teach himself how to be rich. He has believed on his philosophy and he wanted to make sure people are being taught how to be rich. He is a self-made millionaire and now he travels the world teaching people things we supposed to have learnt from school “how to be rich”. He has opened up a school that only teach people how to be rich and everyday his passion and his persistence to non-conformity is changing lives every day.

There is an endless list of people who broke the rules to better themselves, now they changing communities. Again we have list of people who has broken the rules and are in jail serving their unlawful behavior. Breaking societal rules is a very hard decision, it has to be done for the greater of goodwill so that we do not wait for the sun in a rainy day. Everyday our society is lining us into different rules and in many cases what we line up for is never what we looking for. People who has changed the world never compromised what they believed and instead they've tried after so many rejections still they tried again, and they broken so many rules. There is a famous saying that says it not about how many times we fall but it about getting up after we have fallen.

Historians confirms that a guy who invented light had to try hundred times and eventually there was a speed of light. Dr Nelson Mandela stayed in prison for twenty seven years for the freedom he has envisioned for his country. Another example we should learn from is how sportsmen do… They train from early morning till dusk for one tournament and when they do not win, they go back to training over and over again. There so many adventures one can battle on, so many roads one can take and truth be told, sky is the only limit.

A journey to a thousand mile can only begin with a single step. Sandile Shezi has paved the way for you, Jamie McIntyre has done it, Dr Nelson Mandela has done it and many more has been through this road and they did not compromise what they believed in. Maybe when you think of something and the second thought cross your mind, you’ll just take your first thought and go with it. Sometimes it the chance we take that better ourselves and the country we live in. You have been stuck in the same job for more than ten years or you still going to be in this very same job for the next ten years. Everything you ever hoped and believed in will be stuck in this very same chair with you and they will die first before you do. Here is the mere fact of life you can find it hard to believe, “we are born to change lives”. If Dr Nelson Mandela was selfish and did not take risks do you think South Africa will have seen 1994 the way we did? If Sandile did not take his chances, he’d be stuck in that office like you, with his dreams flying away through the day in his mind and there would be no one teaching people how to make wealth through forex. Even Jamie lived his life in a corner box, followed the rules until he realized these rules are not in line with what he want to achieve. Now be my guest GO AHEAD AND DO SOMETHING!!!
