LESSONS FROM 2017

Dear reader ,

First things first , yeaah!!!! its a new year thank God and Happy new year to y'all.

I am not a new year enthusiast by the way , my year begins on the day of my birthday so  if you ask me the 1st of January is very over rated in my opinion. However it should not be taken for granted crossing one year and going to another it is actually a blessing.

Before the end of 2017 i decided , well the family decided to go on a trip upcountry. I  figured sometimes its good and necessary to go away from the norm and just be in a different environment . It gives you room to rethink your life and strategise.

From this trip i picked up a lot of things about myself that i wasn't paying attention to and i kinda sought for solutions so that i am not living in the same roller-coaster .



(visited the famous crying stone in Kakamega my home town)

# RULE NO. 1
Always pray , i don't consider my self a "savedy" but one thing i cant ignore for sure is how God has been good and faithful to me.

#RULE NO. 2
Only you hold the key to your happiness. My mantra in life is that no one shall steal my joy and trust me it has really helped me find inner happiness and peace.

 (The sun in Kakamega is crazy had to have sunscreen and my moisture buddies)


#RULE NO. 3
Love yourself more than you love others . My biggest shortcoming was that i never loved myself enough and i was so codependent and looked for love in others but the minute i loved me others loved me too.

#RULE NO.4
Be real with yourself. I always tell people that you can live a lie and deceive others but you can never lie to yourself and your God.





(Had lunch at Java in Kisumu town )

#RULE NO.5
Mistakes are lessons learned. Never be too hard on yourself when you mess up , its said that a mans greatness is measured by the number of times he/she fell and got up . Well am the one who said that but you get the point.

#RULE NO.6
YOLO . You only live once , its never that serious just enjoy life.


Well guys , clearly you can see i have no resolutions for you i just make life goals and change, adjust and remove them as i go.

Thanks for reading,

yours truly.
