METIENNE

Good morning Nairobi. Its back to being sunny, yeeeey :-). I have reasons to thank God, everyday of my life. Today it's sunny, no more cold, no more sweaters, no more boots, umbrellas, leggings, lesos and all the heavy and sometimes annoying attire. Ladies lets get back to those sexy sundresses, adorable blouses and tops, Masai sandles and open shoes to flaunt the pretty nails. If you cant figure out what to be happy about, join me in celebrating the good weather, let's embrace it. Good moods come along with more love, laughter, smiles, new dreams, innovations, solutions to problems, name all the positive things. I love you all, cheers.

It's fine not to speak what you don't want but...

     Now now, we all know we can't be a million Obamas, a thousand Uhurus or even two Beyonces. It's as impossible as it sounds. According to me we can all have our own success and the world will be a better place. This will only happen when we stop wanting to be like so and so and start being ME, start making good use of our inner strengths and discovering who we really are and how best we can bring it out to the world. There is nothing wrong with looking upto someone you admire, the problem comes in when we judge our progress and outcome with how our mentors had theirs. It is devastating to terribly want to achieve exactly what someone else did and fail. Who knows, you probably were ment to achieve alot more than they did in a different way.       My true defination of success; it is an every day journey not a destination. Failing four times and eventually getting it right is success. Doing things better with every given opportunity is suc...
