Happy New Year!

It's the beginning of a brand new year, the beginning of a life somewhere, start of a marriage elsewhere, but in your existence, it's a continuation of your life. A life that you so much deserve and in dire need to improve. The year just gives you another brand opportunity to keep being you, keep advancing, keep achieving and keep moving ahead, one step at a time.

This chance, to see another dawn, not all have had it. You are one lucky son/daughter of man! All parts of you are intact. Your breath being the most important factor - be grateful! With the arrival of this much awaited year comes opportunities around you, around me. Some hidden, some clear and very conspicuous. Seize them! Be the eagle with the sharpest eyesight, be the gazelle with the fastest move, be the employee with impeccable performance, be the student with good grades. Amaze the audience, amaze yourself, go beyond, look further, have that fire in your belly!

Decide that you no longer do ordinary, you do extraordinary. Decide that you no longer postpone, you act. Decide that you no longer waste yourself, you mould yourself. Decide that you no longer drink from wells that don't quench your thirst, move to better areas. Decide that you no longer need 'mass' approval, you know what's in you. Decide that you no longer sweat over networks, friendships and  relationships that draw you backwards, seek powerful connections. Decide and do!

Cheers to a new year! To a new you? Not really, perhaps to a more experienced you! Go forth and make 2016 happen!

QUORA 3: STAKI MKATE!

Q: Has a homeless/street person ever refused food you've offered them? If so, did they provide an explanation? Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, my fellow repeat readers or repeat clients, if you may! Today I have a short story to bless your eyes and ears. Will it blow your mind? Maybe. Will it give you reason to come back here and check out more stories? Definitely!  I assume that most of you my readers are Nairobi residents and if not, you've been here at one point in your life. This is a notably great city with beautiful people, a people with a culture so rich everyone outside it wants to come have a taste. It is a hub of 'unity', or so they say. It's here that the assorted bunch of the various tribes come to link up, all forty two of them. Our relatives from the rurals are fascinated by this city, no wonder they gather around to hear tales of its craziness every time  Nairobians visit home for Christmas. The streets, as usual, are ever buz...

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn ...

What's success to you?

When I enrolled into University, my main goal was to succeed, that’s everyone’s goal at this point really. Time has passed by so quickly and the goal still remains the same. Many are times I tend to lose focus on this goal and I end up messing up big time. Life’s like a mountain, you’ve got to gather the strength to move up to the peak despite the strong wind that will try to block you from getting there. You might reach some point and get tired, or you lose the strength to move on but with your eyes fixed at the peak, all is gonna go smoother than you can imagine. But you've got to have the hunger to reach there, you’ve got to have the desire to acquire what’s at the peak, have fire in your belly, be proactive, strong-willed, optimistic and most of all prayerful. All that I think lies with what YOU think success is. There are gazillion definitions of success but I think every single person should have their own definition of this success we all very much want. What'...
