A Purposeless Life

by Natalie Mukuka
(Lusaka, Zambia)

I am typically a recovering under-achiever because at 27 I'm really just your average degree holder not making a difference in any one's life let alone my own, a really cluttered character. But that thought that keeps coming to mind is "as a man thinketh so is he."

It is so powerful and so deep, because when I look back at all the arguments, bitterness,emptiness, purposelessness - if such a word exists - and it all lay within me: the power to leave such thoughts behind and adopt positive thoughts, a positive life, a life full of energy and meaningfulness.

Now the next step is HOW? I'm studying the Bible and really trying to adopt a reading culture in my life that's how. The key word is proactive and not reactive. Is there someone out there who has negative vibes towards me? I just give them a double dose of love.

Am I constantly broke? I try not to look at clothes and am trying to put away a few coins every month (the opportunity cost of buying clothes is having a penny for a rainy day - I should know better I'm an economist!).

It's hard but I'm hoping to see the fruits of planting a good seed.The great article on 'sunk costs' really was my first read by Dr. Simuyemba, and I've been hooked on DREAMERS GUIDE ever since. I'm looking forward to changing, I no longer look back to amend what has already gone.

Thanks
Natalie Mukuka

Each of us will have a skill and we just need to find it. In some case people will influence our life and motivate us to bring out the skill inside us. This story is really an inspiration for all of us.

You are on the right track
by: Moses

Natalie, I wouldn't say you are an underachiever at all. The fact that you have recognized that you can live differently and that you do have a choice sets you above most people already.

You are on the right track. Your attitude is a winning attitude. Keep on doing the things you should do consistently and you will definitely get there. Thanks for sharing your personal story.
