WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT

This is a phrase that woke me up on Monday morning. I realized that I am such a dreamer, a visionary, an inspired soul that lacks the power to implement her goals to correspond with her dreams. I woke up to a beauty parlor not far from my house. I woke up to a carwash corner not far from my house. I woke up to a lady selling scones, cupcakes and all the delicious mouth watering delicacies you can imagine. I woke up to posters advertising nail and beauty services right next to me. And it hit me to a point where I thought these people read minds, more specifically my mind. I was bitter and jealous. These were all part of my dreams that I never took the chance to explore due to the silly fear of failure.

After a cup of herbal tea I got to calm down and as I am pouring my emotions down on paper I realized that when I am busy dreaming about all these business ideas, people are working hard to implement them because they have faith in themselves. They see the need for that business in our community and they want to capitalize on this opportunity. I must stop feeling sorry for myself and get to work.

I have created so many excuses that have made me remain the same woman year in and year out. I have doubted my abilities so much that I have come to believe that success is for the rich and privileged. I forgot all about my past not having any power to define my future. And I forgot to reinvent my look. I forgot to buy myself a beautiful dress every now and again because I kept telling myself that I can’t afford it. I neglected the book clubs, the ladies night outs, the glamour events all because I made myself believe that I don’t fit in.I postponed giving birth to my personal brand. 

How easy is it to come up with excuses? I forgot to polish this diamond that God has created for many to adore, some to envy and others to simply compliment. At 25 you can’t afford to be just a woman. You can be ordinary but creating extraordinary things but never just a woman.

You are not the only one with your dreams. You don’t have ownership of them until you demand it. This is not for the feint hearted. It’s a jungle out there and only the brave eagles can wear the crown. Seize your opportunities today before I snatch them from your dreams tonight.

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT It's amazing how often I read something that someone else has written and it's exactly what I wanted to say but couldn't find the "proper" words for it. I want to thank you for this blog only I think I shouldn't. The fact is, as much as i agree with everything that you have just said, I know it will make no difference in how i live my life. I have always been that person who dreams more about doing things than actually doing them.
It's also comforting, in a crazy kind of way to know that I'm not the only one...in my case it's going to take a little more than will power a positive attitude to start taking any kind of action and that's why i have decided to invest in the services of a life coach before the end of this year.

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT I hear you Maletsema and am very challenged. I'm moving towards the edge of my chair as I'm reading your blog. It feels like you are speakig to me and am feeling guilty as a result. My passion is burning inside me and I just cannot sit and let my dream vanish into thin air. But most of all your blog inspired me to do something and I have already started doing research on what I want to do. Thank you for the inspiring blog.

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT Thank you for the response beautiful ladies.

Masi you look gorgeous on the new picture.Wow! I will keep you posted on my progress. I am slowly getting my act together and coming your way.

Liziwe my home is filled with more excuses than furniture and it is a recipe for disaster at my age. I need to dust off all the drama, all the pain and all the bad memories and get to work. I am glad that the blog has touched others in the same space as me. Its important to seek inspiration in all elements of life. If water can't get you high, try fire!

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT Beautiful and true. We need to stop complaining and saying we don't have enough money or we cannot afford it. Once upon a time all billionairs and multimillionairs couldn't afford it until they did something about it. We need to ask ourselves, What am I doing to Improve Me?

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT You have spoken to me today in a way that I cannot explain. This is the 'nudge' that I needed to get off my behind and get with the programme. I have just told a friend of mine (soon to be business partner) to also read your blog. I think you've spoken to us both. I am also 25 and feeling excatly the way you are. It's great that you've come to that realisation (and made us see the light too). All the best and thanks.

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT Maletsema! What a powerful article. I'm sure that while writing these words ---their truth crystallised in your mind. Indeed, like you and many others, I have the same ailment. I choose to believe that there are no brilliant ideas, the only thing distinguishing someone else from you is their ability to put into shape and form their ideas. This is a bold Step. I think that I too will remember your words everytime i procrastinate the implementation of what i believe to be gems in my head!! I hope my friends see this too!!

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT WoW!!!! Maletsema, you are a true legend hey. This are words that many young woman should live by..."success is not only for the rich and privileged"....In most cases we fear to take that step to unlock our dreams & vision because we doubt / fear our abilities. This is my time now, as a Fully Loaded Sister nothing will stop me from being who God created me to be. Keep pushing girl & good luck. Kefi

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT WOW, Maletjema, just a week ago I was telling my friend that it's about time we stood up as women and stop sitting on these beautiful visions that we have and not giving birth to them. Each one of us need a friend that will always encourage & support. As though I've been waiting to these wise sayings, thank you gal,

May it be well with you!!!

# re: WHILE YOU'RE BUSY DREAMING ABOUT IT OTHER PEOPLE ARE IMPLEMENTING IT That's so true and I suppose we are all guilty of procrastinating but the important part is realising the problem and changing it. I got my wake up call when a few friends got retrenched and they suddenly had 2 make a plan.It was enough to get me off my Black Booty!
