You are All You Can Be

 

Do you know what is driving you? Why do you work so hard to get what you want? Do you know your purpose? 


The reasons for what you want to achieve are your WHY. Your WHY is very much related to your purpose in life.


We may have everything that we could ever want and be successful in whatever we do in life but trust me, you are still empty inside and your life can still lack meaning if you've no any purpose in life said *one priest* in a homily.


At times you may have achieved your dream(s). You are famous. Then what? You are the best in class So what?? You are the best artist So what??


As a matter of fact, achievements, wealth and recognition in themselves are useless if they don't answer the WHY question. 


WHY? because the reason for doing something is more important than what is done.


Everything has a *purpose* in life. The arts, science, living things and non living things, have a *purpose of being.* 


Each plays its own part in the essential architecture of life. Every invention for instance, responds to a question, a why question. Its an answer to someone's problem (s).


Most of us exist rather than living. We live year in and year out as if living itself is our prime goal. If we've enough money to survive throughout the year we are satisfied.  Trust me, there's more than that to our lives as *Michael Jackson* in his song *Heal the World* insists on  stoping existing and start living.


What's your contribution to the world? Does your being make any difference to anyone, to others?


The answer to these questions reflect your *WHY.* Your *WHY* is the powerful motive you desire something or things.


Desiring alone is not enough, reasons as to *WHY* you desire hold water. Your *WHY* is so much connected to your *PURPOSE* in life.


Find your *Purpose* for you are all you can be. Go and be it.

People and Technology

For the long time that I have been experiencing the change in all aspects of life even cultural, I also experience the change of technology time to time. Actually technology has been advancing to simplify activities done in the world. Do people change with the technology changes or we all somewhere observing technological changes but we never change? More than 3 billion people around the world using social media every month. Social media has taken the large part to influence people move with the technology, since it started, it has been a essential piece of our business marketing strategy, connect people with their customers. It allows people to reach others logically, regionally, nationally and even internationally. For social media having many users, does it mean people move with technology in other areas too? Technology has been introduced in many sectors, but do people apply them too? Do they have influence as social media has to people? Technology is an assemblage of practices and...

Hiking Day at Uluguru Mountains: A lot of reasons to conserve

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, the Uluguru Mountains stand tall and proud, beckoning adventurers with their lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking panoramic views. As an avid nature enthusiast, I embarked on a hiking day at Uluguru Mountains, seeking solace from the bustling city life and an opportunity to reconnect with the pristine beauty of the natural world.    It was not a first time, and surely it will not be a last time. BUT, little did I know that this expedition would prove to be a transformative journey, both physically and spiritually.       The Ascent Begins With my backpack packed and a heart full of anticipation, I set foot on the trailhead around 10am. The air was crisp, and the sweet aroma of the surrounding vegetation infused my senses, drew my attention, that, it was time, time to get far and reconnect with the most beautiful and tiresome activity that am attracted to, accompanied by an experienced guide, not in such, but t...

Developing a Personal Mantra

Its been a long long long time since we were here!  Anyways, happy new year 2025!  I’m looking forward to sharing more stories, reflections, and snippets of daily life here. Come to "sharing", last year I got to hear a thing about "mantra" from a friend and a mentor, and this is what I firstly need to share before we dive deep in 2025. Mantras have a way of anchoring our thoughts and guiding our actions. As I approached 2025, I felt the need for a guiding principle that would not only inspire me but also provide a framework for how I navigate the year. That’s how I arrived at my mantra: Intentional Progress . This article shares my journey of developing this mantra and how it can shape my actions in the year ahead. The Importance of a Mantra A personal mantra is more than just a phrase; it’s a compass that aligns your actions with your values and goals. It serves as a reminder to stay focused and intentional, especially when life becomes overwhelming. For me, a mant...
