You should have a world domination dream. Now, that the year is still fresh, is the best time to articulate one. The nature and size of the world targeted is entirely up to you. It could be anything; from gaining mastery over yourself, getting a degree or changing jobs, making impact that will outlive you, to buying space on Elon Musk’s maiden space voyage.
Let me
refer you to someone who had his dreams come true in a most astonishing way (I
mean he ended up Prime Minister of the foremost country in the then world). Let
us welcome Joseph Ben Israel.
In Genesis,
Chapter 37, Joseph had a dream and then, before the furore settled, another
one. It took 17 years and many experiences, compressed into 4 chapters, before
the dream came to pass. And suddenly Joseph was the man of the moment. The
Times and Forbes of that time featured articles on him. The shows fell over
themselves to have him appear on them. Before you could say Jack, a book had
been written and there were talks of a motion picture being made.
For crying
out loud, he was a foreigner, a Hebrew, who had been a slave and a prisoner and
now he was a leader in Egypt at a time when it was not just the world
superpower but also the most advanced in terms of civilization. And, wait for
it, his office–second only to Pharaoh himself–was one that had not existed
before. I doubt there was one after him.
It is
okay to envy Joe, commend his resilience and uprightness and wonder how you
would have fared in his shoes; but that could be you. I should know. I joined a
class of about 60, in primary school, 2 weeks to the end of the term and while
everyone expected me to barely survive, I had my eyes set on leading the pack.
That term I placed 27th, by the next term I was 3rd.
final term, my world domination dream was achieved when I was announced as
coming in 1st.
The
steps that lead to the throne differ for each of us. For Joey, they were…
• Get
in the field
• Get
rid of daddy’s coat
• Get
to know his present worth
• Get
to serve in order to lead right
I doubt
that on his own Jo would have chosen this path. But it was what was required
for the actualization of his dreams. To achieve yours (whether local, national
or global) you will have to work through your very own checklist and pass tailored-to-fit
tests. And then, voila! Behold the world at your feet.
