Tragedy

 

Something tragic happened in my hometown this Sunday. There was a bombing at a church and about 1 person is dead and 40 something others are critically injured. No one has taken responsibility yet for the attack. My hope is that in this time the people of Arusha can gather together and help one another rise above this tragedy. I hope they can figure out what or whoever  triggered this attack, and we can figure to weaken those forces, and join together as one source of strength.

 



Self control and you

 

Have you ever tried controlling an adult? It is useless. Children are the ones who need such control, instruction, or guidance. But when you and others grow older, you just have to let it be. You have to let it be, and to not forget that the easiest way to stay sane, in the midst of whichever chaos is to control yourself. Don't waste your time trying to control external factors. Instead, take the time to know "you" in depth, so you can control your reactions to the ups and downs of life.

Winning and effort

There are times when all we want are external victories, but sometimes the inner victories are the best, because you can them use as a hidden fuel to help you in your other battles. And of course, sometimes if you have done your best, that is really all that matters, and you can stay confident and wait for the next direction that your plans will take you to.

Negativity and rising

We all have faced negativity in certain stages of our lives...that sinking feeling. However, there is no need to fear negativity, as it is also a teacher, as someone once said, "Adversity is the greatest teacher." So when things are not going as well with people or things, don't stress, but instead take it as a training ground. Not only that, but as a gift from life to help you  to be prepared in the future for similar instances, as we all know life is sometimes a cycle, which sometimes leads to history repeating itself in many forms.

 

Regrets and regrets

Don't you sometimes feel like your life is full of regrets? I didn't, I shouldn't have, I wish I hadn't...don't those all sound familiar? Relax, your just a human, navigating the plains of life. Nobody has all the answers, but what you can do is be patient with yourself, and the twists and turns of life. Don't dwell on the past, learn and move on, and then turn your pain into gain and lemons into lemonade.

Quitting

Have you ever felt like quitting? It is sometimes the easiest thing to do. But when faced such feelings don't just throw your priorities away, take that time to re-examine and affirm your dream. Sometimes you face a major defeat before a major victory.

Giving up or in...

Whenever you change your mind after trying very hard at something...don't feel defeated. Change is good. It's like a law of nature, because if nothing changes we won't have day and night or different seasons. Nevertheless, make sure that you make the right kind of change. Weigh all the pros and cons, listen to advice, and then follow your instinct. Be strong....being strong is not only about holding on and continuing. Learn to know when to start at one in order to win the war.

Great day!

Opposition means "Let's soar!"

Hey there everybody around the world! Today we are going to talk about opposition. Have you ever sometimes felt like you wanted to stop because of opposition? But who said that opposition has to be a red light? You never know maybe opposition is sometimes your yellow light telling you to wait a little longer...or maybe it is your green light telling you to go with all your might in pursuit of your dreams. Whenever you want to stop because of opposition when you know you have to go on just remember that a "kite rises against the wind." So go out and soar like a kite...Happy weekend!
 

Goals and realities

I am pretty sure that growing up you all might have heard the saying, "You can be anything you dream of". However, such a phrase does not give much more information about the realities involved when striving to attain a goal. I think the quote should not only put emphasis on a dream but dreams. Because as we move on in life in pursuit of our dream; there are times we'll realize we can't achieve that dream....but if we have dreams then we can focus on those instead of despairing over what could have been.

 So if we don't achieve our goals or dreams we should not give in to bitterness towards ourselves or those who have accomplished what we wanted to do. We should instead transform our disappointment into a dynamic energy to help us pick up the pieces from the broken dream and make them into a wonderful tapestry in an achievable dream.

Great weekend everybody!
