...an Illusion

...I had just woken from a brief nap that I took in between my duties and was staring absent mindedly on the TV set. A documentary on illegal border crossing by Mexicans and other Latin Americans into the USA was being aired by BBC. As I watched, I thought of others like it that I've seen in recent times...hundreds of West Africans drowning off the coast of Malta trying to move into Spain and Italy...people living in the forests of eastern Germany from year to year dreaming of moving into European cities to get their hands on the so called western wealth.
During this period, I pondered on one overriding thought - do these people actually believe that just moving from their countries into western Europe, or the USA is all they need to succeed in life? As though moving from Africa to USA automatically translated into a metamorphosis from poverty to riches!
Then my thoughts moved on to my recent encounter with a young Nigerian graduate. He told me over the internet that he'd already spent one year in Morocco. Doing what? He's waiting for his chance to cross over illegally into Italy, or Spain! In the meantime, this Banking and Finance graduate is roaming the streets of Morocco, hawking recharge cards!
I think the situation is rather tragic.
It was at this point that I really appreciated the fact that these people lacked an understanding of the fundamental principles of success and wealth creation. Millions of them have now ended up as modern day slaves in European and American capitalistic prison yards. Statistical evidence points to the shocking reality that less than 5% of them have the ability to finance their return to their homelands. The rest are victims of an illusion - an illusion that was fed and fueled by ignorance, mental indolence, and sheer irresponsibility.
I hope that your encounters with the thoughts presented in this edition will ensure your continued liberty from the western sponsored illusion that oyibo man's land is the equivalent of paradise on earth.
Most importantly, take responsibility for your own destiny, master the underlying principles of the universe and translate your dreams into reality.

4 Cardinal Points

2007-12-29T18:35:00.000-08:00

4 critical factors are essential for dominion - (OR, success, influence, maximum impact, fulfilment, freedom,) . Here they are:

Foresight...(OR, vision, clarity, strategic thinking,)
Prudence...(OR, management, discipline, )
Faith...(OR, courage, guts, big dreams, )
Sacrifice...(OR, radical giving, strategic generosity, love)

I believe that these are the four cardinal points of the rectangle of dominion. So I will devote the entire '08 to exploring these points. It's imperative that everyone interested in dominance cultivate these qualities.
