FINDING YOUR OWN WAY

    It is easy to get lost especially in places not familiar to us. I recently got lost. I was going to this little known organisation and the google map gave me the directions and my journey started. I alighted where I was to and followed the directions I was given ,I kept walking looking at the signs and surveying the buildings but I never saw where I was heading to. 
I rarely ask unknown people for directions. So I decided to walk on even if it took the whole day, I was determined to find my own way. But I got tired and just when I was about to resign, the building I was searching for popped up from nowhere, what a relief it was.
 
As I was walking searching for the place, I learnt of  so many other places and so many things. Sometimes we don't really have to seek for assistance from others, we only need to acknowledge that "we can" and in the process of doing it ourselves. we learn so much than when we could have asked other people for help.
   Only ask for help when you need to, we often ask for help because we are lazy to engage our minds.
But don't be too proud to ask for help when you really need it.

    True! It takes courage to face our inner selves and find the way. And it takes time figuring out something.
    Thank you for taking the courage in discovering your own way...and discovering your voice.
    Congrats:-)

                                                             LOVE  Love.this word arouses lots of feelings in people. Back in the days love was a tradition especially in Africa. People used to love one another regardless of the circumstances. There was no need for one to love somebody from the mere fact that they knew them. In those days, the phrase "I love you" was used genuinely. I once had a friend, at the time of this incident am narrating, she was about seventeen years of age. It was valentine season, flowers and those three words were trending. My friend's crush saw this as a nice opportunity, to convince my friend.  He came with his confidence all refresh...

                                               UNDER CONTROL There was once a little girl named Amani. She was born to a clan that was well known for oversleeping. To them oversleeping was a tradition. Most of the clan members knew it was their custom and so they slept even when they had no sleep, they just had to force it. Amani's mother was among the few exceptions. She tried to instill the value of waking up early to all her four children but they were all hard on her advice. After all, almost everybody was sleeping so why would they have bothered. Amani saw some sense in her mother's advice and she tried it. At first it was not that easy. One day she said a different prayer and went to sleep. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early. The next day early in the morning she was up early but still s...

TECH SHAME     It's good to be conscious of where you are going and by what means you are getting to your destination. I recently experienced an embarrassing situation due to ignorance.      I was tired, I crossed the road of this busy street, almost got ran over. I didn't want to go further so the first matatu that came along, I was in. I sat on the nearest available seat. Next to me was a man probably in his late seventies, he was the talkative type. He asked me if I was going the same destination with him, I nodded in agreement, he kept giving me this curious look, as he was about to make further inquiries, the screen was on and loud sounds emanated from the speakers, at first, this came as a relief but it wasn't. The song being played was full of obscene language and equally obscene visual images, the first time I looked at the screen I literally went blind for some minutes. I vowed to be blind throughout the journey but my old friend would not let me....
