Fashioning Your World

By Kelvin Namwanza

The power is in your hands to fashion whatever you want, the raw materials to do so are within reach. God has made our work easier, He intially illustrated some principles to follow and thereafter He overcame the challenge of creating something out of nothing. Now we can only fashion; which is to make something out of something or make into the required form using the already existing materials.
We live in a world of abundant resources, yet very few individuals seem to take advantage of this. Presented in this book are a few, yet profound tools that you can use to craft the world you desire. Your marriage can be better, your business can become profitable, you can become the best employee, and finally, you can become a great leader!
All you need is within reach and no one can claim that they started from nothing or invented something out of nothing. All the resources are at our disposal for us to produce whatever we envisage and dream about.
The challenge is that many people dream, but few go on to realise their dreams. The majority complain of how unfair their employers are, without realising that productivity and success do not depend on other people, but yourself. Do not blame anyone for where you are today and the person you have become. Rather do intensive introspection and take ownership of your life and fashion the world you desire.

INTRODUCTION

Fashioning your world was inspired by the book of Genesis. The account of creation states that God created order out of disorder.

The master Creator also went on to demonstrate the importance of planning and prioritising. He did not create the birds, first, before creating the heavens which is their home. He did not create the fish before creating the seas; He did not create a human being before creating the earth.

The sustenance of what was coming was in what was created first. In the creation stage we also see how God used darkness and light to serve His purpose. This teaches us that in all we do there will always be supporting and contradicting forces. Instead of complaining we should just learn how to take advantage of opposing forces. On the other hand we should always know that even in the darkest moment, there is hope.

God kept time in that He finished whatever was supposed to be created within that day. He also took inventory to see if what He created came out the way he wanted it to. Lastly, when He completed His work, He rested. These principles of prioritizing, time management, taking inventory and many more have the power of changing the chaos in an individual, organisation or nation into order.

The power is in your hands to fashion whatever you want, the raw materials to do so are within reach. God has made our work easier, He initially illustrated some principles to follow and thereafter He overcame the challenge of creating something out of nothing. Now we can only fashion; which is to make something out of something or make into the required form using the already existing materials.

We live in a world of abundant resources, yet very few individuals seem to take advantage of this. Presented in this book are a few, yet profound tools that you can use to craft the world you desire. Your marriage can be better, your business can become profitable, you can become the best employee, and finally, you can become a great leader! All you need is within reach and no one can claim that they started from nothing or invented something out of nothing. All the resources are at our disposal for us to produce whatever we envisage and dream about.

The challenge is that many people dream, but few go on to realise their dreams. The majority complain of how unfair their employers are, without realising that productivity and success do not depend on other people, but yourself. Do not blame anyone for where you are today and the person you have become. Rather do intensive introspection and take ownership of your life and fashion the world you desire.

CHAPTER 1

PURPOSEFUL LIVING

"You can have everything in life you want, if you’ll just help enough other people get what they want."

– Zig Ziglar

OVER the years it has been a pleasure helping people change their mindsets and how they view life. The same process has changed and made me a better person.

Making a difference in peoples’ lives I must say is not a walk in Primrose Park; it can be challenging but there is such immense joy that comes from seeing peoples’ lives change for the better.

In life it’s paramount that you find your area of contribution to humanity. Finding that will help you become
