Interesting subject Karalyn, and I note it has been curiously left alone for a few days. Perhaps it is because on face value, initial thoughts conjured up images of unsavoury type characters throughout world history with egos the size of galaxies and legions of weapon wielding maniacs who invariably succumb to welcomed and often violent deaths…?!
Conversely our thoughts turn to fictional characters that have entertained us from books and comic strips to images projected to us from the safe bunker of our lounge chairs and theatre seats. Name any super hero and he/she has a Nemesis perverse on world dominance and blowing Earth to smithereens, woe to be thwarted at the 11th hour by our hero (thank goodness!)
Other thwarters of pseudo dominators include James Bond (choose a villain, any villain), and on a lighter side; Maxwell Smart (KAOS) and Austin Powers (Dr. Evil). When we get into Science Fiction the threat to our existence is almost endless (and resistance is futile!) but, we somehow manage to survive, till at least the next episode.
On the cartoon front, Stewi Griffin (Family Guy) and my all time favourite as a kid, The Brain (Pinky & The Brain) who spent every episode planning and conniving to take over the world with results ranging from mildly funny to hilarious (well, for a kid anyway).
Art mimics life they say, but I suspect if would-be world dictators were football skulled two year olds or pink eyed lab mice, they may be a little easier to control…
However, DOMINATION doesn’t have to be suppression, dictatorship, or anything negative at all. By inserting an invisible YOUR, twixt the words ACHIEVE and WORLD in the above subject title puts this question into the appropriate context. The want to take charge of your destiny is the point and I will take exactly five hundred words leaving suggestions to your readers on how to achieve this.
There are hundreds, possibly thousands of self help books that will guide you to dreams and thoughts as a way to manifest success and dominance of your world. Crap!
Sure there is an element of visualising, but if you plan to spend an extended time sitting on a grassy knoll staring into space thinking of grandeur, you will end up spending your life sitting on a grassy knoll staring into space thinking of grandeur.
Action is the key. Positive action, passionate action, persistent action. Action that is true to your beliefs, directed at your goal and aligned with the greater good. You will be amazed to find that if you couple your own personal goals with what you can uniquely give back to the world, people will take notice, listen and follow.
Set an example, be a little different, rise above the crowd…
For good or for bad (and I strongly recommend the former) all throughout living history and even more so now, the desire to achieve World Domination doesn’t need 500-700 words – it can be achieved in just two! “Follow Me”
