Nutrition, Diet and Health Tips

‘We have normalized corruption, embezzlement, theft, lack of accountability, broad daylight theft alot and for this reason we have the rich getting richer and the poor, poorer!!

It got me thinking, anytime you ask someone how successful they want to be, they’ll classify everything that money can buy, like I want to have this amount of cash, buy this number of houses, drive this particular car and so forth.

Don’t get me wrong, I want all those things as well, but that is not the only thing I want in life. To me success goes beyond the monetary value and unfortunately in our current world your networth not only determines how successful you are, it’s also an indicator of how respected you are or can be.

So, apart from monetary terms, how can you measure success?

✅A measure of how impactful your life is/was– Legacy

Imagine having an influence over young people to do better in life? When your story of persuing greatness inspires others that is success.

In the current world, where things are too fast paced, there’s very limited time for human interactions. If you can remember, the family gatherings that we used to have are no longer there because everyone is busy chasing the paper or making their lives better.

With less interactions, there are less mentors for young adults, teenagers and children. As you work towards your goals, have it in mind that your success can have positive impact to that person watching from a distance who lacks motivation to keep moving. So never stop and keep at it.

✅ How happy you are as a person should be a measure of success.

Imagine having so much money flowing and no time to live your life or even worse, you get the money, no real connections, you loose it as a parent ( poor upbringing of kids cause you had no time) or even get a lifestyle condition because you’re too busy to enjoy what God provided for us ( Nature).

That to me can be miserable, it’s very ok to chase financial success but remember to keep it within your ‘happy limits’.

✅ Giving back to the Community is also success – You might not be where you want to be in life, but you’re out there giving a free service, running community drives, doing something out of goodwill for the goodness of others. That in itself is one of the most underrated forms of success.

Working for the goodness of others as the Lord, through His son Jesus Christ demonstrated. Giving back gives that ultimate joy and we should practice it more..

It doesn’t have to monetary terms. As I said if you’re a teacher you can offer to give life lessons to young adults or even teenagers for free, you can spend time with the less fortunate listen to their stories, and try and give them solutions, you can organise or lead a fundraiser for the homeless and many other noble things.

Sometimes we want to do so much but we are scared because we don’t have the resources to do so, but let me tell you if you have a phone with a camera that can take pictures or videos that tell a story and you have access to the internet, that’s a good place to start.

Back to my opening statement, like we have one body, which means one stomach, we can only sleep in one bed a night, we can have a number of outfit changes a day, but that can be tiresome. So you tend to wonder those who’ve allowed greed to run their lives in the name of creating generational wealth at the expense of Kenyans, don’t they sit and wonder,

‘ What if I get the money and loose the Respect, the human interactions?’. Y’all saw how the Dictator from Congo who looted his country dry and after his death, his family members had no peace even with the money? No one wanted to associate with them, they become dysfunctional and others had to flee.

Money is good, having financial freedom is great, but greed is the devil’s guide to distractions.

Stay happy, humble and Successful.
