Ke Nako – SA’s World Cup Dream Comes True
The atmosphere in Johannesburg is electric. Pedestrians are blowing Vuvuzela’s as they walk to work; cars are hooting; South Africans are kitted out in their Green and Gold; Flags are flying from cars, offices, houses – it is INCREDIBLE!
This amazing atmosphere and the energy that we can all feel running through our veins – pride, patriotism, excitement, a sense of achievement – has been created because a BIG dream has come true.In my workshops I teach people to create Wildly Improbable Goals (WIG’s) – these are big, exciting and scary goals that take one to the boundaries of possibility and impossibility and in doing so ignite DESIRE. Desire is the fuel for making dreams and goals come true.
South Africa created a WIG about hosting this World Cup – our first bid wasn’t successful, but despite that failure we were not deterred. We got up, dusted ourselves off and like any successful person we tried again. When Sepp Blatter opened the envelope in 2004, the whole of South Africa began to unite around a common vision that up until that point had been held by a few. Yes, there were naysayers, sceptics and some negative press (there still is). Any big dream will meet with resistance; otherwise it isn’t a BIG DREAM.
What you can feel in the air in this country TODAY is the aliveness, the energy, the sense of purpose, meaning and pride that following a WILDLY IMPROBABLE GOAL brings to life.
On the eve of South Africa’s big dream coming true, embrace this atmosphere and ask yourself - What big dreams can you create for your own life, that will bring this type of aliveness and energy to every waking moment?
Ke Nako – it is TIME for you to DREAM BIG!
