In light of the outstanding public discussions on the KFC proposal and the subsequent flow of support from various companies, brands and individuals for the couples’ wedding, I had a go at my own creation of the #KFCwedding humour where I posted a picture of myself at a KFC ‘waiting for my proposal’. After having a few laughs with friends and associates I realised that it’s all fun and humour until you ask the question…
Where is YOUR KFC proposal?
Let me explain what I mean by this.
I had an interesting discussion with a friend (who incidentally took the said picture) about what the KFC proposal in this case represents. In reflecting on what transpired for the couple following the proposal, I realised that the KFC proposal represents for each of us that one moment in our lives when all we have been waiting for comes to full fruition. It signifies that one dream that you have held close that at one crucial moment in your life there seems to be a shift in the Universe that opens up a gateway to fulfilling the dream. And once this ‘quantum moment’ occurs, your life is never the same. The moment suddenly brings with it an abundance and flow into your life, much like all the support given to the couple.
Many people have spoken about how lucky the couple has been in having such an overwhelming response to their proposal, and of course the influx of financial backing for their nuptials. Some say they were at the right place at the right time (also attributed to luck). But what exactly is luck? And how do you make your own luck to get YOUR version of the KFC proposal?
Do you dare to change?
Hi. I am Shaka, and I am a Life Coach.
It has been said that ‘luck is when preparation meets opportunity’. Opportunity is a matter of chance, and thus it is presented at an indeterminate point in time. With that said, the truth of this statement is that there is only one factor that you can control- and that is preparation. The preparation itself is a function of 3 components:
1 A Belief in a dream or vision- many of us have dreams that we hope could one day come true. Many of us also believe that you need to have a dream in life to make your life worth living. That is not entirely true. Possessing a dream is only significant if it is backed by a true belief in your vision. This is because belief creates the founding momentum that results in action. Why is this the case?
Belief dares to challenge the status quo and defy your current state of being. It questions all the limiting beliefs that you have learned over your lifetime. It interrogates the possible mind blocks and restrictive factors that you possess within yourself that hinder you from heading towards your vision at full throttle. Thus there needs to be an unquestionable belief in the realisation of your vision as a foundation of your preparedness.
2 Understanding the environment- Preparation calls you to do the required work to understand the environment that hosts your vision. This means doing all the research necessary and immersing yourself in the various areas that speak to your vision- events, seminars, books, audios, networks…you name it. As such, through your presence in your defined vision environment, you remain in alignment with your vision and therefore grow closer to the opportunity that carries your quantum moment.
3 Action (of course!)- Preparation demands action. Action in this instance goes over and above immersing yourself in the right environments. Action here speaks to making a move as and when the moment requires. This means that though you remain in constant interaction with the visual environment, it is critical that you take action when the opportunity presents itself. Also, knowing the right action to take is key. Only then can you fully benefit from the creation of your own luck.
Final Note
Unlike the couple who at the very least expected to have a nice meal and celebrate their union by themselves (but unexpectedly ended up in such awe-inspiring circumstances), the luck you create for yourself leads you to a quantum moment that you have prepared for. In this way, you may not know the timing of the opportunity but you have the foundation to grasp it when it arrives. Through thorough preparation, you are able to not only create your own luck but are also able to walk through the gateway to success when it opens, without doubt, or insecurity. The truth is, nothing truly comes as a matter of sheer luck. It is readiness that leads you to victory.
At the end of the day, it remains true that some people simply watch the world experience itself and make comments or enjoy a laugh. But others get up and make those experiences that leave the world in awe.
Which one are you?
