5 Life Lessons You Can Learn From Kast
Life is what you make of it, and you are the only one in control of your destiny. There is a lot that we can learn from Kast of Tlatsa Lebala fame who is on a mission to accomplish a dream that we thought was far fetched. At first, many people including the media made fun of him, he was the topic of ridicule on social media with some even encouraging him to quit his dream of filling up the national stadium and walking 1000km. Now we are starting to eat humble pie as Kast walks towards achieving his dreams. We can learn a lot from this man, and the following 5 lesson are only a few of what you can do to also achieve your dreams.
1. Never Give Up On Your Dreams
No matter how far fetched your dreams appear to be, do not give up on achieving them. Often times when we want something and do not achieve it at the first attempt we give up or sometimes we give it another try and if you don’t achieve it, we go on to beat ourselves. With his Tlatsa Lebala dream, Kast has failed many times, but look at him now he is the man of the moment.
2. Ignore Negativity
We are surrounded by naysayers and doubting Thomases, but we should never allow their negative energy derail us. A lot of people for the past months made jokes about Kast and his walk that’s fine,some even still do to date. Kast has proven that the only time you fail is when you fall down and stay down. He has not let even the slightest bad publicity stand in front of his dreams.
3. Yes You Can!
The only person who stands between you and your dreams is you. If you put your mind into achieving something, you will definitely reach that goal. Kast is a believer, he told himself that he will walk the 1000km, something that has never been done by any local, and by the look of things, he is doing exceptionally well. Believing in his own capabilities has pushed him to where he is right now.
4. You Can Start From Nothing
Often times we think that we need cash injections to start a successful project or movement. True, money can really help us to bring our dreams closer to reach, but it doesn’t mean we need to wait for donations to get set. Kast went to Maun with little resources, as soon as people saw his determination, that is when they started pledging whatever they could afford. He has never used the lack of support at the beginning as an excuse to bail out.
5. Humility Will Take You A Long Way
Because of our own shortcomings, sometimes when we reach a certain level of fame, we get pompous and look down on other people, an attitude that is common among our local celebrities. Kast is one of the most humble public figures in this country. He is grateful to those who have helped him thus far, and mentions them on his Facebook page. There is a lot that he can say about those who doubted him, but he is not about that life, he is only focused on finishing what he started.
