Change your inner script to enhance your possibilities for jobs in Kenya

In our generation, science, religion, and superstition have come together to speak in one voice

. They all agree, though they may use different words, that the seat of human potential is within the individual. If a person is broken within, no matter how good their outward opportunities seem to the rest of the world, that broken individual can neither see nor appreciate them.

I see that a lot in Kenya. Some years back, I was honoured to play host to a group of seminar participants from one of the North African Countries. These fellows were beside themselves with excitement. They could not believe that there was so much opportunity in any one single country. Where were they seeing the opportunity? The opportunities to them lay in the definite disinterest of the government in the affairs of the individual.

Strangely, the very thing that appeared as potential to them, is the very thing many Kenyans define as the problem. If you choose to see your world aright, the possibilities of what you can do with your life within legal parameters in Kenya is limited only by YOUR IMAGINATION.

Why do we believe so much in 'not enough'?

If you are born and bred Kenyan like I am, you were like most of us brought up on a diet of limitations. We believe more and faster in what we cannot achieve than in what we can achieve. It starts from home with parents (whose noble intention was protection) telling us of all the possible things we should not do if we desire to be unhurt.

Do not run; you may fall.

Do not climb that tree; you might break your leg.

Do not remove your sweater; you may catch a cold.

All these limit-based guidelines reinforce a deep appreciation for limiteations. This is fully strengthened through school as the much hyped 8+4+4 Education system does not give room for nor inculcate high life values and Life Skills such as courage, concentration, creativity, determination, clarity, effective communication skills and the like.

We live convinced that very little of what life has to offer is within personal reach which makes our personal expectations of the good in life seriously low.

That would not be a problem if deep within you did not live with the nagging feeling that you are worth and capable of so much more.

How you can change the script to give you a wider jobs net

When I was first started out to run my own business, I would get very frustrated speaking with other business people. They would say things like, 'there is such an opportunity there'. I was frustrated because I honestly could not see the opportunity 'there' at all.

I soon realised that I needed a different eye to see my world that I had not used in my employee days. So I started speaking to myself differently.

Every day, as often as I would remember, I would tell myself; I see opportunities for expanding business all around me. Within a couple of days, I actually did see an opportunity that had been there all along that I had honestly never considered before.

Then, as I continued with this script, my vision expanded. Within a year, I would see opportunity in the most amazing of places. Do not be deceived, your world is full of opportunity only limited by your inner vision.

How can you utilise this in your search for jobs in Kenya?

First, make a mental decision that 'there are no jobs in Kenya' is a lie.

Second, tell yourself, daily and as often as you remember in the course of the say, 'there is a job available for me. I will soon meet the people and the chance to take it up'.

Third, decide to quench any inner voice of doubt. How difficult is it I ask, to find one job in Kenya for just the one you? The only thing that limits you is the choice to look more at the competition for jobs in Kenya. That way you are more aware of the lack of jobs than the opportunity standing right before your eyes.

That is why I strongly recommend that you use your time by being your primary job search expert, because no corporation or service provider can see your world as well as you can. There is where and how to locate a job in Kenya and it lies in the ability of your eyes to see the opportunities.
