“Mastering others is strength.
Mastering yourself is true power.”
Lao Tzu.
The beginning of maturity is to realize that there is no one
coming to the rescue. Everything you can be is entirely up to you. As time shifts,
you notice that all your decisions and actions sum up to your current life.
Where you want to be in future is usually determined by what things you do in
the present. Therefore you need to pick yourself up and start making things
happen.
You must start making serious decisions about where you want
to go as a youth and endeavor to go through the necessary process to get there.
You need to appreciate yourself as a resourceful person by viewing yourself
according to who you are and not what you do. Quit defining yourself in
accordance to your job and start selling who you are. You have skills to be
discovered, books yet to be written, songs yet to be sung and talents yet to be
displayed.
All of us have been put in this world to serve our best to
other people through our special gifting. Therefore, you need to have full
control over yourself in order to realize your purpose –that is self
management. Self management is a critical module in the Kyusa curriculum.
Meir Liraz encourages people to learn to accept total
responsibility for their lives. You need to constantly evaluate yourself and
keep focused by doing one thing at a time. You also need to be kind to yourself
and appreciate yourself when you achieve a set goal. Setting time limits for
all you are meant to do is vital. Endeavor to do more in less time since,” he
who kills time buries opportunities!”
Finally, you need to concentrate more on positive thoughts, master
the habit of studying, journaling and avoid making excuses. Bill Hybels
encourages you to,”Examine yourself and your life then change whatever you can
change that will lighten your load and help you prevail in your calling.”
We therefore implore
you to partner with Kyusa in ensuring that generations of change agents are
raised who are self aware and have control over themselves.
