CHAPTER EIGHT

BE A PRIME MOVER

Have you seen the engine system of a ship? There is what is known as propellers controlled by the engine. The propeller is what pushes the ship forward. The propelling engine is often built to be able to take the capacity of the ship including the luggage it would take. As long as the propelling engine is the right size, it will carry the ship. The propeller is also called the prime mover.

A marvel is a prime mover. He is the force that everyone depends on to move. He is built to capacity with all the best features to be able to carry others along. He has the capacity to start a thing and carries a significant influence on the development of that thing. A marvel always thinks of one ingenious thing to start and to keep going. His creative ingenuity is always at his best.

Do you want to be a marvel? You must think as a prime mover. What are you capable of starting? What skills do you have to carry others with you? What capacity do you have to take the lead and let others follow you? This is the thought pattern of prime movers.

Those persons people marvel at carry the air to attract others in their direction. They enable the capacity in people to cause the kind of change they want to see happen, instigating them to see the possibilities in themselves.

Prime movers have the following attributes:

1. They MOVE themselves first and then carry others in the direction of their movement.

2. They ACTIVATE their own possibilities and make others work in the possibilities that have being activated.

3. The ROCK. They are unshakable and unmovable, very reliable and trustworthy to help as a base for the manifestation of the potentials of others.

4. They are VALUE-LADEN. They take up responsibilities of change. They seek for opportunities where they can move for a difference. They are freedom fighters

5. They are EXCITING. Propellers have to excite themselves first before they excite others. Prime movers are exciting people and people are also excited about them.

6. They are never LATE. Prime movers have to act first. They often have to lead so there is never any time for lateness. They are ever punctual and position right on time to take the lead.

The position of a prime mover is one filled with responsibility. It requires a well-built capacity. You don’t want to move people who are bigger than you. They’d choose not to follow you anyway. But as you build capacity and enlarge your knowledge base, those persons begin to hold you in awe. They follow you because they are aware you are carrying something great.

The prime mover is always a
