INTRODUCTION

....Let each know that for each, the body, the mind and the soul had been freed to fulfil themselves Nelson R. Mandela

There comes a special moment in everyone's life, a moment for which that person was born. That special opportunity, which when he seizes it, will fulfil his mission, a mission for which he is uniquely qualified. In that moment he finds greatness. Sir Winston Churchill

How often have you wondered why ends don't meet? Why your dream or dreams doesn't come true? Why your life seems like a joke? Going round and round in circles like a ship without a radar achieving little if not nothing that contends your soul? Yet others seem to receive it all effortlessly from financial success, material abundance, fame, health relationships and spiritual fulfilment. Despite giving it your best efforts, every idea, dream or goal you conceived ended up in the gutter. You gathered your guts and gave it another try but only to be disappointed yet again when the whole castle you had been erecting crumbled upon your head and you wondered is this all there is to life for me?

THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN JUST SCRAPING YOUR BACK FOR A MEAGRE LIVING OR AVERAGE ACHIEVEMENTS.

Your "time for change has come" Barack Obama

Living must not be a constant struggle for survival but must be a celebration of the heavenly ordained privilege that all are equal and free to pursue their full measure of happiness. From the foundation of the world, God predestined all mankind to live great lives by granting them the power to do anything or create anything they may desire to live such great lives as he fore ordained. According to Paul, one of the greatest servants of God and a disciple of the Nazarene Master Jesus Christ, through ‘His divine power, God,.... granted to us all things that pertains to life’ which means no man is supposed to live a life of lack or wretchedness. Wondering how was that provisioned for? The answer is very simple and it’s undeniably the most trusted way to a destiny of success and happiness in all walks of life and professions. He gave each person unique talents, abilities and potentials that can enable them to reach any desired end in life. In most cases, these special qualities, aligns perfectly with God's greater divine purpose for each individual. A reason for existence which when is discovered and pursued ultimately leads to fulfilment. As such, your first responsibility as an individual who desire to live the good life that God promised all as a birth right regardless of gender, race, creed, colour, background or social status, is to make that special discovery. Make an assessment of your unique natural talents and abilities, those special qualities that make you the different person that you are from everyone else, and then blend them to create an inspiring vision of the future. A blueprint of who you want to be or what you want to achieve, which can energize your body, soul and spirit to pursue and attain it; and I am quite convinced from the onset that just like many others out there, you already have one such a desire or idea you wish to transmute into a living reality but are perhaps lacking the guidance or enthusiasm to do so.

Because of the fear of failure and the opinions of cynics-criticism, you are trapped in the hustle of your conflicting thoughts about whether your vision, goal, idea or dream is practical and attainable or not and whether you can actually make it come true by any chance or not. In other words, you actually know exactly what you want to have, who you want to become and where you want to be at but you are being hindered by the fear of dreaming too much, the fear of becoming a joke of the day if you happen to fail and perhaps the lack of finances. Which are both stumbling blocks normally born on self imposed limitations and poor self esteem, lack of knowledge on how to get started from where you are now to where you actually want to be and often sheer ignorance.

If so, here is your hope, 'Go Great', the master key that will unlock, one by one, the doors that lead to every answer you seek in connection with any desire you may have. It is a brook of wisdom, and a guide with timeless secret principles of success used by some of the world's most super successful achievers, men and women of all creeds from all walks of life since time immemorial to achieve that by which we recognise them as great. This may sound pompous or a bit blown out of proportion but I encourage you to hear me out with not only your ears but with your heart and mind too as you read further and you will be amazed to discover what's in this book and how it will change your life. How it will transform you from being an ordinary person to an extraordinary achiever and leader in all your undertakings. I guarantee you that by the time you will finish this book, all your fears and anchors would have disappeared into thin air as assertiveness occupy their place. However, there is one thing you must know before we go any further and that is the fact that, greatness or the attainment of anything worthwhile in life is not a privilege you can receive without some form of consideration in return. You have to earn it and the price is fixed by the size of the object of your desire.

This is the main reason as to why I have written this book, just to show you how. I sincerely urge you to read it in good faith, with full cognizance of the fact that no one knows everything-an open mind, for that is the only known secret to true learning. The key to true self empowerment .Whatever your station in life at the moment, whether you are employed or not, whether you are selling bananas or are panning gold and diamonds at Chiadzwa or elsewhere. Whether you dream of becoming the best guitarist, dancer, or the next president at your company, sports club or nation, or whether you are in a prison cell, this book will unerringly guide you to the inevitable attainment of your heart's desire. I have no doubt you may not be interested in many of the facts and ideas you shall read about but I am confident that, somewhere along the lines, you will come across a few words or a thought that will help you uncover within yourself an earth shaking idea that will provide the missing link in your quest for success or fulfilment; a discovery and opportunity which if you seize it may actually mark the turning point of your fortunes and those of the people you love. This book provides a way by which mere ideas or thought vibrations can be converted into their tangible physical equivalent, a strategy on how all lacks can be bridged and all stumbling blocks can be converted into stepping stones. Your greatest responsibility now is to choose what you desire from life and how you intent to manifest it, and then believe you can achieve such a desire and begin right away to do what you must do to achieve it.

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY REAP THE REWARDS OF THIS BOOK

In case you desire to procure the best knowledge and guidance out of this book and unleash your best potential in pursuit of that coveted goal or dream you have in mind, which I know you do, here is how;

First and fore mostly, ignite in yourself an overwhelming desire or passion to understand the principles of this simple yet powerful philosophy, with your main objective being to edify yourself in every possible way. Be hundred percent conscious of what you here fore seek, with a clear intent to adopt whatever you will find empowering.

Read every chapter more than twice, thinking as you do so and supplementing or contrasting the experiences in this book with your own. Trying as best as you can to identify how you can derive the lessons and techniques used here-in to improve your everyday life and endeavours. By so doing, you will be able to recognize where and why your previous attempts on your dream or vision fell through and how you can then convert that defeat into an equal seed of potential success.

Have a pen and notebook to jot down ideas, techniques or suggestions that you believe might be helpful in your quest for self empowerment. Going as far as to indicating just how important is the idea as you write. Then after every reading session, revise your notes and convert into action what you have learned, remembering that the aim of learning is not knowledge but action. Put into deeds what you have learnt for that’s the most trusted way of constantly cultivating the passion to succeed.

Employ these principles and the lessons they convey as guidelines to create and utilize opportunities as they arise for come they will once you have set sail on your path. Even in tackling your everyday challenges, be it in business, at home, in relationships or any other area of your life, these secret principles are reliable and effective enough to move any mountain existing between you and your desire. Take the extra step and teach them among your friends, associates and family members bearing in mind the irrefutable truth that knowledge of whatever nature or proportion only takes permanent residence in the mind that can share it. This is so vitally important because forgetting some of the lessons is a certainty unless if it is given to you not to and when you have forgotten, as you will many times, by remembering to whom you taught the principle or an idea it conveyed and how it impacted the other person's life, you will be able to recall it, with even a more better insight.

You can also refer to your notes every time you find yourself labouring under a problem or are facing a hard knock. Revisit those important ideas you jotted or underscored as you were reading, analyze them and supplement them to your situation and the results will surely baffle your conscience.

Last but not least, take a success assessment tour every time you apply a principle or lesson in your routines, noting your shortfalls and any other areas that may still need considerable improvements.

It's quite probable that you may find some of these methods familiar and that is because they are as old as the principles themselves. I too, received them when I was still a secondary school pupil from an old wise man called Solomon R Goko, who was actually an expert in the coaching of effective learning methods and what I am simply doing is rededicating them in a simpler and understandable way with hope that they too, will effect change in your reading routines. For emphasis, I shall repeat this statement again that, you may not need all that is written in this book but I believe that somewhere along the lines you will surely come across an idea, phrase or even a word that will lead you into an earth shaking discovery that will completely change your fortunes and life as a whole for good. So do not be tempted to pre-empty everything and throw this book on to your book shelve without reading it.

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY INTO THE PROMISES OF THIS BOOK? IS THERE ANY SUBSTANTIAL GUARANTEE THAT YOU TOO CAN ATTAIN GREATNESS OR THE HIGHER BRACKETS OF SUCCESS?

Definitely Yes! It's Time for Africa, Your Call!

First of all, recognize from the beginning that you have a great toolbox with all the necessary tools you need to shape up your path of glory and greatness, that thing between your ears or behind your eyes. Use it in every way you can for it is the ultimate source of everything you desire in life tangible or intangible, and no scientific or mysterious explanation of whatsoever nature will dispute this truth. Everything under the sun and men made began as a mere idea in the brain which was converted at will into its physical reality through definite plans and actions. Even the creation of this beautiful and magnificent world itself with all its orderliness and naturalness began as nothing but a mere idea in the supreme mind of God and was manifest through nothing else other than the word, definite plans and actions. Note also, a free democratic Republic of Zimbabwe began as a mere idea in the minds of Ndabaningi Sithole, Robert Mugabe, Josiah Tongogara, Joshua Nkomo and many others. They then converted that idea into a definite goal and followed it with tireless efforts until it became a reality at the Lanchester House on April 18 1980. An independent and democratic Republic of South Africa began as well as a mere idea in Nelson Mandela's head, he then converted that idea into a definite major purpose and followed it to Robben Island where he pursued it tirelessly for twenty seven years till it became a reality.

What of the aero-plane which began as nothing but a mere idea in the minds of the Wright brothers which was then converted into a definite dream, which they then followed with passion and determination till they gave the world its first men made bird that could carry people to various destinations across the globe.

The mind is the source of everything-every form of achievement and every form of invention ever made by any man or woman from any walk of life in any profession. This is why I am guaranteeing you success because you too, just like anybody else have this great gift, this fountain of all greatness and can use it to create your own pathway which will lead you from where you are to where you want to be in life. Have no doubt at all for you can truly do it. You are a genius in your own special way and the Creator blessed you with very special talents which no one else posses that will enable you to achieve anything you can conceive and render your name immortal among other great names.

Your second assurance is the indisputable fact that Africa is the next continent to undergo economic boom from Asia and Europe. We still have more than enough space to accommodate vast investments. Our resources, especially here in Zimbabwe, are the least exploited world over. We have vast deposits of diamonds, gold, platinum, and many more other minerals and resources to include fertile land for agriculture which is the greatest of them all and the back bone of our great nation’s economy; and recent developments like the winning by South Africa along with Kenya, Ghana, and Mauritius the greatest stakes in hosting The Square Kilometre Array, the biggest mega telescope on earth, are witness to this imminent influx of possible investors and possible economic growth. This mega telescope will be a technological hub that will facilitate communication with space explorers and other scientific researches. Following therefore that as this age of transformation dawns on Africa, super equipped and well informed leaders, entrepreneurs, bankers, writers, researchers, teachers, lawyers, contractors, farmers, mineral magnets, investors, engineers and many more skilled personnel will be needed in many professions to cope up with the vast economic, social, political and industrial changes of the times. Another piece of evidence is the alignment of BRIC nations with Africa for they too have foreseen this potential boom already. The big question is now to ask yourself, where will you be in such times? In which area or profession will you be majoring? Doing what?

Apart from that, we live in a world with plenty opportunities where anyone can put their mind, abilities, experience, skills and potentials towards the achievement of anything they desire with more than enough great chances of succeeding. Unlike people of the previous ages who were hampered by oppression and repression from expressing themselves-following the dictates of their consciences towards the creation of better lives for themselves and their loved ones, we now have these freedoms and rights in abundance and well safeguarded so much that we can do anything we dream of or envision anytime anywhere. In other words, these vast freedoms and rights have opened for us access to organised knowledge through libraries, the internet
