4 Analyse Yourself 4.1 A State of Confusion
M any people in today’s society find themselves at a point in their lives where they feel burnt out, bored or discouraged with an aspect or aspects of their lives. Entrepreneurs are not an exception. They are aware that they desperately need to change something, have some ideas but find themselves unsure of what to do and how to implement the changes for improvement. They therefore find themselves carrying on in their current situation, more often than not becoming increasingly frustrated with themselves and disillusioned with their life situation. It is like chasing the wind or a dog chasing its tail, where life never becomes fulfilled. I have defined this category of people as the LPD, meaning …show more content…
They have no knowledge of who they are or where they want to get to in life. At every point life is a trial and error game resulting in failure after failure and crisis after crisis. Their life is like someone going up against a brick wall
Such people are characterized by, lack of knowledge and lack of religious wisdom. Such people easily go astray because they do not have guiding principles or anything to guide them in life

In such a group of people you find drunkards and drug addicts, prostitutes, criminals etc. They resort to substances in order to occupy or control their minds. The spirits of these people have practically dwindled and their bones dried up. This usually manifests in the physical in terms of poor health, sickness and general bodily weakness, aggression, self-pity etc. People in this group see life as a hopeless exercise.

Such is the epitome of misery, for it is better to be dead, than to not have a reason to live. A man without a vision is a walking grave – he has no reason why death should avoid him, and has no reason to avoid death either. Vision can keep you alive. It will spur you on, even against odds that are otherwise
