why you should not settle for anything less than what you want

  Obama's visit to Kenya over the weekend has left most of us inspired and rejuvenated to forge forward me included. Looking at a man who has a complicated history than what most of us have and yet has made it big to the point of becoming the most influencial being at the moment is'nt something small. In his own words he says, we can all make it far and wide irregardless of where we come from, who we are or what people think we are. The most inspiring bit about President Obama according to me is how humble and simple he is and how he relates to everyone around him. His look and response to questions asked tells so much about him, someone who has it all but that doesn't matter when it comes to being what he was made to be and relating to people around him. Enough said.
    That brings me to today's topic, 'why you should not settle for anything less than what you want.' Where there is a will there is a way. The willingness and desire to achieve something makes you go for it and work for it day in day out. That is reason enough as to why you should keep going and not settle for less. If you can get to point 2 and 3 then why can't you get to point 5 using the same strategy? It's possible, just that sometimes we give up too fast and look at all discouragements around us instead of focussing on the ultimate goal. We just need to know that nothing good comes easy. It's never a walk in the park and Obama's life is a true testimony.
   Here are some obvious reasons as to why you should never settle for less than what you think you deserve. Note that this applies to all areas in life from education to friendship to career goals to relationships, choices, marriages, everything!
  1.  When you settle for less you will want more as time goes and that less stops being sufficient.
  2.  Settling for less leads to alot of regrets infuture. You can never take back time, once it is gone it is done. We all know how it feels to regret choices made and settling for less will definately make you feel that. You don't want that? keep going.
  3. Settling for less is a waste of time because the probability of you starting all over again to make it right is high. Why not do the right thing ones and for all than trying out different versions that are bound to fail?
  4. You have the capability to become who you want, why underestimate yourself?
  5. You deserve to have it all, you want to have it all, you can never have it all in your own way if you keep settling for less.
Never allow someone to determine what is best for you or where you can reach with whatever you are doing. Not your spouse, your parent, relative, friend or whoever should dictate that. The power and choice is all yours. When you realize your life is your own maybe then you will realize you can do with it what you want. Be open to advice around you but at the end of the day the choice is all yours.
   It's never about perfection and however much we try we can never be perfect. The peace you go to bed with knowing you gave it your best is what matters. Have a blessed and lovely week ahead.

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS- CAMPUS LESSONS {PART 3/3}

11 years ago, I wanted to become an engineer when I grow up. I did not know exactly what engineering entailed and how I would get there but I knew for me to be one I had to study really hard. Well my dreams were and still are valid. 11 years later as I finish my undergraduate studies I have a very important lesson to take home from one of my lectures, Prof Kiema. He said, it does not matter what you do, what matters is how you do it. You can’t possibly go through an institution for all these years and fail to pick up important lessons to last you a lifetime. My most important life lessons were picked here, my best characters were shaped here as well, be my guest; Campus taught me how to relate to people, those I like and those I don’t. It taught me I don’t have to like someone to respect them; respect is for all, friends and strangers.   I learnt that anything that has a beginning always has an end. Just like finishing campus, all other aspects of life have beginnings...

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS {PART 1/3}

Just like that, it’s over! (Read oveeeeeeeeer!). Honestly it does not feel like five years are gone already. Time sure flies. I still remember how young, fragile and innocent I was when I walked into Stella Awinja hostel for my first year in campus. I would say I was mature and responsible though, I brought myself to campus most people don’t.   Then papa came to check on me later and brought my luggage and I remember him questioning the custodians why I had to share a room with five other ladies yet the forms clearly stated sharing two. Best daddy ever, he cared enough to know where his daughter was going to live. Sharing a room with five other adorable ladies turned out to be the best thing. I made friends that will forever remain my friends both in their presence and absence. The many Luhyia songs and ohangla dances done in that room, sweet old memories. Shout out to Brenda Nanjala, Rhoda Odongo, Sylvia Awori and Merlene Ndolo, I miss and love you lovely ladies. You made my...

The man every woman wants

I am not married, we may say I don't have experience but i definitely know the kind of man every woman wants because I am a woman. Women like feeling special and pampered, it is in us. Those lovely compliments, sincere appreciation and sweet words warm our hearts. Yes we are special for sure hence we deserve to feel equally or more special. When a woman meets that gentleman who makes her feel special than any other person around her, you can be rest assured she will make you feel triple special in return. A woman is like a kid, however learned or experienced she is, she would not resist a good sense of direction. No woman wants to have man who is not concerned any inch about what goes on in her career field/business. We all admire men who make us better in our careers and ambitions. By making her better I mean knowing what goes on in her business, having two or three compliments about it,  practically assisting with ideas and getting things done if need be. Anything supportive ...
