BUILDING YOUR CAPACITIES IN EACH DIMENSION

1. Vision – being able to see a future in your mind’s eye before it materialises in the flesh

2. Discipline – to actually make things happen. To be disciplined means to accept reality, being totally immersed in the facts and then move from there.

3. Passion- the unrelenting drive which comes from the heart. - People with passion are highly motivated because they believe that the best way to predict the future is to take part in shaping it.

4. Conscience – your moral sense of what is right and what is wrong; encourages people to sacrifice something good in order to obtain something better.


05/02/202322

FINDING YOUR VOICE IN EACH DIMENSION Ask these questions:

What need do I sense in my family, in my community or in the organization I work for?

What talent do I possess which, if properly disciplined and applied would keep that specific need?

Does the opportunity to meet that need tap into the things I feel most passionate about?

Does my conscience allow me to take action in this way and become intensely involved?
