My little brother is my inspiration in this season….
…….and quite frankly, he is putting an indelible mark on me. This boy is 12. He has such a strong build for this age and thinks like he’s walked on this earth surface before. Some people get this while others don’t, as they voice observations that come off as completely indifferent to a child’s emotions.…

You are powerful beyond measure.
One of my favorite quotes as a child was from the movie Akilla; “Your greatest fear is not that you are inadequate. Your greatest fear is that you are powerful beyond measure. “ ~A~ You have exactly what you need to do and be exactly who you should be – your truest self. It is…

The man in the arena.
Let me borrow the words of this wise man, Theodore Roosevelt. He says, “ It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,…

Cultivate good habits.
Our thoughts influence ur actions, our actions repeated become our habits. We become our habits. When a muscle or a group of muscles is held in a particular position, they assume the shape, length and position that they are held in. That’s what our habits do. Today I choose to cultivate good habits. Simply taking…

I so love when The underdog shines.
Uganda made global news at the Olympics and yes everyone beginning with the head of state is exhilarated and jubilant. I can’t put to words the feels that were going on as our National flag was raised and the anthem played, the announcer saying, “The people of Uganda will be proud. It is one of…

Give yourself time to grow.
All Growth takes time. You may be thinking it’s unfair, hectic and slightly ungratifying in this moment that you’re not seeing much progress on your chosen path. Don’t be discouraged. Every stage of your growth feeds into the next. Let’s think of a baby bring formed, born and growing through the first moments of life…

I can’t Vs. How can I ?
The first phrase is inhibitive to success because it shuts every door that leads to your creativity pockets. The latter phrase however, is one that impels creativity and incites drive. Since I completed my bachelor’s program, I knew that I wanted to continue to study but everytime I tried to find ways to fulfil that…

Walk tall
Walk tall when you see from a fall. Dust yourself and rise. You loved, you fought, you lost. You came, you showed up and showed out. That’s okay. Get on up and stand on your feet; shoulders back and square, chin up, eyes forward and walk tall. The greatest shame is what we carry within…

You’re never a finished product.
There is a constant temptation in my heart and mind to sit back in complacent not so desirable comfort which is easy, until I am reminded that I haven’t scratched the surface of my potential. I remember that this is not the dream and I am not nearly done forming into my truest self. I…

A life of significance- Dolly Parton.
I have learnt in my quest for success that many of us in this lifetime will indeed acquire success but few people will achieve significance. Our success becomes significant when it becomes the success of others , when the world can drink from our well. This is the reason I want to be more than…

Dreamers and opportunities
Opportunity is Paramount for any creative mind, any genius, any dreamer in this world to live to their fullest potential. Sometimes people who are privileged say: “If you simply work hard and believe in yourself and follow your dreams, you can achieve anything you want to.” They are right. However, there is a difference that…

Who said you cant be fully woman and absolutely awesome?
The organizers of the Olympics have announced that they will allow women who are breastfeeding to come to and participate in the events. I must say it was completely overdue. Today let me honor Allyson Felix, an American sprinter who won her 12th gold, one more than Bolt’s 11, when she and her team placed…

Dangerous ambition.
You know how they say too much of anything is always bad ? If there is too much of something you should avoid, that is too much ambition. Ambition is a strong desire to do or achieve something. It’s a drive. It is Paramount that one has a level of drive for them to achieve…
