YOU ARE A DESTINY CHANGER

The other day I had the pleasure of meeting up with some old work colleagues who had flown into Capetown on business. They are also people, I consider to be very dear friends , we sat down to chat and reminisce of times gone by.

One of my colleagues, I sat with was a man who really dared to dream , in a situation that normally others would have been contend to just let be.

I looked at him and smiled to myself. He used work in the kitchen and when there was an opening on the sales floor , applied for the job. He is older than me but was very willing to learn.

His peers could not believe that he wanted to branch out from his comfort zone when they all came from the same background and as far as they were concerned would die in the same place.

But he had a vision for his life, to cut a long story short. I trained him and he applied himself to everything 200%.

Today as his friends struggle back home , he is a store manager and is travelling and living the life he envisioned and more!.

I am very proud to have been a small part of ensuring that his destiny came to pass, I held just one small piece of his life , and it was my job to do my part , for the canvas of his life , to help form part of his picture. It didn't matter what part weather it was the grass or the corner filler on his canvas of life I had to do my part.

I did my bit even when people around me were like are you sure you want to train him? and as they looked around a tad perplexed and said hmmm good luck!

When I think of his wife and 3 daughters. I smile at the opportunities they now have. When we met, he did not have a wife yet , nor were there children. I was happy to be guest of honor at that lovely wedding when he married this lovely woman.

He says he is always humbled by me and yet it is me who is humbled by his acceptance to allow me to impart the little I knew to help him.

The feeling of knowing that there are a billion people on the planet and I managed to help in the change of one person is something that , I cannot even begin to articulate it really is very humbling and makes me smile.

Whose piece of Destiny do you hold and are you holding onto it as a keep sake or allowing yourself to be used to help someone.

You will surprised that YOU can change an entire GENERATION by empowering someone else.
