Dreams of Destiny

I woke up very early today to ensure that i catch a bus to go and celebrate Madaraka day with my family.Home sweet home.East or west home is the best.
There is this place we call home,this place full of love,comfort,peace,providence,embrace i.e full of life.This place was my destination this morning.
Every person has a virtual home called destiny,everyone longs to reach there no matter what.
Abraham Maslow  in his hierachy of needs should have included destiny as the first and  last need that everyone has.
Look around and see! Every one is trying out something to get a catch of his/her destiny.Some are in college,trying out a business idea,some looking for partners,and all these things we do everyday.Thanks to the Bible it tell us that God safeguards our destiny period!
Do you know,destiny is born out of fruitition of dreams and visions.
Think about this,Martin Luther dreamt of an American nation where everyone would long to live in 'Canaan' for you.As a leader he saw a destiny for his country.What about you?Do you see a destiny for your life?
Start dreaming now!Write that vision!With determination and persistence it will surely come,like America you will be a favourite to many,in short you will be in control.
Those who have dreams but are about to give in, give patience and faith a chance, a new dawn is coming carrying destiny on its wings.
Though the tree is cut it will surely sprout again.
N/B Success is preparation meeting opportunity at dreamland.

Birth of best ideas

Child bearing is the most painful experience that a mother encounter’s (the pain is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at a time). The Doctor’s advice to the mother at this point is to relax and let the labor pains exert pressure, leading to fast and less strenuous child birth.
I write this from my office where I feel that work stress from my colleagues is too much on me. My productivity is going low and I’m sorry to say my motivation levels are near a low of 20%.At this point what can one do to create an environment full of life and strength from within and restore productivity. I once led that innovation is born when one relaxes and lets things to arouse simplicity which bears the best ideas. I know many are the daily pressures of life. Relationship not working, bills increasing by day, pressure from dependants, uncooperating colleagues, layoffs, one can’t take all at once.
In spite of all this it’s expected of us to remain productive and grow, from employment to self employment, from rentals to owning a house, one cadre to a higher cadre. Do you know all you have to do is to take time out from all this hustles and get time to relax away from the hustles of life and you know what there a 99% possibility of creativity is thus great ideas are born? Ask the Singaporian company that invented stick notes, the idea came when one of their mangers had gone out for a vacation and as he was enjoying the beautiful mother nature on a vacation that this idea exploded in his mind, he couldn’t help it but implemented it now the company has generated supernormal profits from the stick notes projects.
Ask Isaac Newton what he was doing under the mango tree when he discovered the law of gravity. He could daily pass by the mango tree in a hurry trying to push things in life to leave a mark in this world, little did he know that the day he would move away from the hustles and take time to relax under the mango tree his position in the world of earth science would be guaranteed since that a day he’s remembered hundreds of years down the line.
My doctor tells me that for psychological therapy to take place one has to take time away from stressful life. The brain takes time to rejuvenate itself leading to new and stronger brain cells. It also reduces probability of heart disease and enhances physical fitness.
MAKE SURE YOU RELAX

Purpose to take some time out this weekend or a take a leave and have time away from your normal routine. Maybe this is all that you need to have a glimpse at an idea you have been struggling to get.

Take time and chart its implementation. Always implement your ideas.


N/B: IDEAS IN SECRET DIE.THEY NEED LIGHTAND AIR OR THEY STARVE AND DIE.

Walk of Life

"Life is hard" Many say so.
But compared to what???
Have you ever known that people have confused their lack of planning and poor information gathering for decision making as the contribution to making life hard.
Imagine this conversations;
You:How is life
Friend1:Not bad
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?,?????,?
You:How is life
Friend 2:It's good

All these responses reflect a good life.But looking at these two answers it clearly seen that one friend is a pessimist who sees things from the negative with the other being an optimist who sees life from the positive.
The key to enjoying life is cultivating an attitude of positivity.
See the glass as half full not half empty and you will conquer life.
In the midst of challenges look for a positive thing to be happy about.

#parting shot#
Many started their own companys after losing a job.
Many learnt to appreciate and value their partner after a heartbreak.
Many learn to be attentive and work hard after failing an exam.

Life without hardships is a life without growth.
Most of our blessings come packed as hardships.

FAILURE PRODUCES RESILIENCE.

DON'T CONFUSE OPPORTUNITIES WITH CHALLENGES.

PERSONAL COMMITMENT

Better fail 1001 times in commitment than succeed once without commitment.
Commitment is the fuel that drives and lubricates the cogs of success.
In the tenets of success, commitment is a major pillar for success.
A person may be on the right track but if he's not committed he will never achieve anything.
In Strategic management whether organisational or individual commitment is key.
Safaricom Ltd Reported 32 billion profits not because its the best company or has the best talents but its because it's committed to customer satisfaction and continuous innovation.

A family will succeed when a man is committed to loving his wife,the wife is committed to submitting and respecting her husband and the children to obeying their parents period.

Nelson Mandela was so commited to ending apartheid that he forgave his oppressors.
Wangari Mathai was so committed to conserving the environment that she risked confrontations with the government to conserve Karura forest.

'You can sacrifice without committing but you can't commit without sacrificing'

BULLS & BEARS

Most people today never know that their attitude determines their actions.
ATTITUDE IS THE MOTHER OF PREFERENCE.
People with low self esteem will obviously have a bad attitude towards their personality and that is why the will hide behind the introvert nature and even make it their lifestyle.
Successful people (people who get satisfaction in what they do) have a bull attitude (fight until you win the war not the fight)Mayweather won the fight but his war with Pacquiao is not won probably they will fight much more in future
These are their attributes
They Face Things Head On. They have killed the fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of meeting new people and fear of fulfillment.

Don’t Take NO For An Answer. They believe that if things get bad you don’t throw them away but you fix them.

Branding Part 2

Settle permanently in positivity and possibility.
When you get rid of the negatives give yourself into positivity start appreciating who you are.make it your habit to see the small or negligible achievements you make daily since a brand is built by small bricks of daily targets achieved effectively and with passion.
Draw you self image, See yourself in the lenses of who you want to become, write you vision. Don’t fear though it may tarry *VISION* it will surely come. Work smart. Anonymous’’ Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try’’
TALK OF VISION………… (PLEASE THINK ABOUT YOUR LEGACY BECAUSE YOU ARE WRITING IT EVERYDAY)
Vision should dictate every action you take.
How to boost your vision:
Step 1-Identify 3-5 areas which if attended would be of a great impact to your life.
Step 2-Look at your areas of weaknesses and zone them. Do not fear to discover your weaknesses it’s the first step to overcoming them.
Step 3-Look at the level of your skills development;
Ø  Career skills,
Ø  Business skills,
Ø  Social or people skills,
Ø  Soft skills
Ø  Life skills
Step 4 -Ask yourself the following set of questions!
·         What am I in this life?
·         Who am I?
·         Where am I?
N/B: Be candid in answering these questions no flattering.
STEP 5-Ask yourself the following set of questions!
·         What do I want to be?
·         What do I want to be called?
·         Where do I want to be after a particular period maybe 1 year?
Step 6-Determine the activities if done would result to realization of the vision.

BRANDING PART 1

A brand is appealing, original, unique and explicit.
Today as you drop down at the mall as yourself why Elianto not Fresh Fri, why Galitos not KFC.
Branding explains it all.
Most people try so hard to ensure they tick and shine wherever they go, to the extent of copying other people way of doing things so that their presence is felt *selfboosters. But do you know by rightfully branding yourself you can easily be a sought after personality.
People and organizations seek personalities not people, Since, people have flaws, weaknesses and shortcomings but personalities have passion, drive or will power, energy and character.
Start by getting the right attitude towards yourself, know that you are an original not a product of other people, environment or situations but a product of your heart.
First, incline you heart to loving yourself. If you love yourself you will want the best for you and therefore you start competing against you. Bible records’’ love your neighbor as you love yourself’’ This means you will never experience love until you love yourself and branding starts there. Get rid of all negatives about yourself and forgive yourself.
Today start from a clean sheet……………………………….

Quail Market Glut.



Reliable sources are revealing that the quail farming bubble has burst, farmers are now approaching KWS as they seek market for the eggs and birds following an over supply as more and more farmers start rearing the birds without having done any market surveys.
The price of the eggs and birds are daily falling at an increasing rate leadingto loss due to oversupply.
Late last year a quail egg sold between Ksh 100 and Ksh 70 while a chick sold  between Ksh 300 to Ksh  400.lately an egg is selling between Ksh 30 and Ksh 20 while a chick goes for Ksh 150.

The law of demand and supply applies.

Farmers are advised to think twice before venturing into the business as the bubble burst looms.
