Don’t live to mark time, use time to make marks (Anonymous)

I have met a lot of wonderful people from all walks of life with big dreams and life aspirations but that is as far as it goes. You probably know someone like that too or perhaps you may even be that person with all the good intentions but no action.

If you are ever going to accomplish any goals, you need to have enough passion that consumes you and builds up starting power, sRead More...

Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. Ralph Waldo Emerson

You will agree with me that the marriage institution is more prone to breakages in these modern times than it was in the past. What is going on? This is a question that flashed a lot through my mind yesterday. I would like to share with you a couple of ideas that I am pretty sure will assist you in redefining your relationship with your spouse and help you to re-position it iRead More...

Are you romancing your past?

Motivational Quote
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.
(Alfred North Whitehead)

There will always be two categories of people throughout your earthly adventure. The first category is for those who think that they know you because they knew about your past. This category of people has already analyzed, categorized you and locked you up in a folder.

Well, I have some good news for you; those whoRead More...

The mark of personal progress

Motivational Quote
Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let everyone know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using. If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it. James A. Garfield, 1831-1881

I have not had the opportunity of meeting someone who has never made any mistakes in life. I dare say that you will know that you are making progress when you ‘fail forward’; make mistRead More...

'I Want Me Back'

Motivational Quote
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. (Sir Winston Churchill, 1874-1965)

DO YOU LOOK back and wish you could turn the arm of the clock in your favor? Do you reminisce the days you were passionate about the cRead More...

Motivational Quote
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something. Henry David Thoreau, 1817-1862

Dear Friends,

I am really excited about my newest book ‘I want Me Back’ launch and I honestly want you to be part of this jRead More...

Travel with your head to move ahead

Motivational Quote
The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self. Whitney Young, 1921-1971

One of the most amazing attributes of human beings is the fact that you can travel within while you are immobile without. You can be seated right there and now but your mind could be wondering in what didn’t happen yesterday. This is purely what works either towards your advantage or diRead More...

Motivational Quote
Thought is action in rehearsal. Sigmund Freud

The whole world now is in sync with the happenings of FiFa world cup. In as much as it is commonly referred to as ‘football’, you will agree with me that there is similar or perhaps even more engagement from the ‘neck up’ than from the wrist down. The professional footballer is much aware of this fact than most of us do. I listened to one of them in an interview on television and really apprecRead More...

Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.
Reggie Leach
The revealed essence of a thing is based on the hidden parameters that are never too obvious for the common eye. For you to be able to read this blog posting, I had to work and touch on a number of control panels at the back office of this website for the characters to appear as they do whilst you read.

Your life too is an expressiRead More...

Are you a ‘Forged Signature’?

Motivational Quote
Learning is not compulsory... neither is survival. W. Edwards Deming, 1900-1993
I learnt with profound interest of a certain re-known senior citizen who devoted all her years in the teaching profession. When she got her retirement package, she invested all her savings into some sort of pyramid scheme and needless to say, she lost all that she had.

In her quest to rediscover and salvage herself, she remembered that she had harbored some strong ambitions towaRead More...

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something. Richard Feynman, 1918-1988

A couple of days ago, a friend allowed me to drive his mini-truck to deliver some luggage to the country side. ByRead More...

Your choice is your chance

Motivational Quote
Don't underestimate the power of a vision. McDonald's founder, Ray Kroc, pictured his empire long before it existed, and he saw how to get there. He invented the company motto -- 'Quality, service, cleanliness and value' -- and kept repeating it to employees for the rest of his life.Kenneth Labich

I am sure you are pretty very much aware that you are a sum total of all the choices that you have made so far in life. However, very few of us also reflect on tRead More...

The number one difference maker

Motivational Quote
The vitality of thought is in adventure. Ideas won't keep. Something must be done about them. Alfred North Whitehead, 1861-1947

I will say it today out loud that you can never succeed in this earthly adventure if you ignore the power of an idea. The dividing difference between where you are and where you want to be is an ‘idea’. There has never been anything big created except that which was hatched as an idea in the mind of whosoever did it.

Motivational Quote
The most significant moment in your life is the current ‘now’ moment.
Anonymous
Over the short time that I have been on the globe, I have learnt that to live a life of fulfillment, you have at times and more often than not, do things contrary to the ‘wishes’ of most people.

You have got to cautiously and carefully ignore the ‘wishes’ of most of the people that surround you. I was given a name after I was borRead More...

In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it. Robert Heinlein, 1907-1988

I have always wanted to own a getaway countryside home. At the beginning of this year, I enlisted the expertise of an architect for that project. He came up with a perfect impression of what I exactly wanted. I brought on board an experienced foreman to commence the project. Five months down theRead More...

The Secret of Achievement

Motivational Quote
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. Horace Walpole, 1717-1797

Your ability to define and isolate a specific activity that you are best suited for gives you leverage in life. I call it Focus. Focus or lack of it greatly determines the level of success that you will experience. There is absolutely no way out of narrowing down your effort into one particular thing. The achievers of yester years and those of our times are men aRead More...

“To repeat what others have said, requires education, to challenge it,
requires brains.” Mary Pettibone Poole

In the 70s, Kipchoge Keino won the world accolades as a great athlete. Four decades later, although he is still renowned for his exploits then, there are certainly other greater champions who have emerged. Even if he wanted to keep at it, there is practically no chance that he can be competitive.

How and where do you refuel your mind?

“Real confidence comes from knowing and accepting yourself –your strengths and your limitations.” Judith Barwick
Today afternoon, I went for car wash in a particular place in the western side of Nairobi. A gentleman who was driving what seemed like a brand new, elegant and beautiful Land rover drove in to refuel. Few minutes after refueling, the engine wouldn’t start. The car had to be towed from that gas station to the dealer’s placeRead More...

Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared. Eddie Rickenbacker, 1890-1973

I was driving with my five years old son yesterday from church and he asked me a question that triggered some flow of thoughts long after answering. He had asked, “Dad, my bike has breaks. Does your car has breaks?” without much thought, I simply answered, “everything that moves has breaks otherwise it would never stop.&rdqRead More...

Thoughts, like fleas, jump from man to man. But they don't bite everybody. Stanislaw Lec

More often than not, you are likely to find me in upcoming places prospecting or viewing properties during my free time. This is what I was doing last evening at Kigali. One thing that has always fascinated my mind is the fact that a piece of the earth anywhere is just but a piece of the earth. However, you will agree with me that the value of that piece of the earRead More...
