We die more in imagination than in reality!

Yes, its true that we understand things not the way they are , but the way we are.  A certain kid saw an aeroplane passing through the sky. Because it was his first time, the kid was confused. He couldn't understand it. Finally he asked his father "Father what is that thing passing through the sky?". The father replied " Its an aeroplane ". Kid asked again " what is its importance? ".  The father replied " Its used to transport people or lagage among countries or continents". The kid rejected the father's answers. He couldn't believe the tiny thing he saw in the sky can carry even one person! One time , the kid and his father went to a beach that is just opposite an airport. The father used the chance to explain to the little boy the meaning of aeroplane using the physical stationary aeroplanes at the airport . This time the kid believed because the aeroplanes were too big not like the other tiny one he saw in the sky. The kid didn't know that the one he saw in the sky seemed tiny just because it was too far from him!That's what happens most of the times we try to imagine  what the future holds for us. Sometimes the future seems too bright and we get driven by fantasy and we become too egoistic! Sometimes it seems too dark , we get depressed  , frustrated and suffers from anxiety! Janet Kataha Museven  , the first lady of Uganda said in her novel ' My life's journey'  when she was in hard times during her husband's struggle for presidency " The more I thought of the future , the more it frightened me. What hope was left for us , I wondered ? I hoped against hope. No matter how normal we tried to make life , there was always danger lurking around the corner. I felt like my life was hanging in the balance".  Its very good to imagine about the future , but if it's at the expense of all your happiness, please kindly just do your best today and forgive the future. The best you do today will put you at the next level tomorrow. There is always a way. Please, don't get frustrated through imaginations.

The storm won't kill you

I was born in 1998 and I lost my father in 2000. I have seven biological brothers and two biological sisters, and am the second last born in the family. By the time my father died, the first born son was studying mechanical engineering and the second eldest brother was in senior six, and that was their end. Everything turned upside down. The next chapter of life was characterized by poverty, tears, grief, sorrow, and misery. One of my brothers attempted to make a suicide; He hang himself on a tree but unfortunately my mother saw him and made a very loud cry to him, in panic the rope slipped from the tree and he felt down, making the suicide unsuccessful. The first born ran mad. I remember him trying to eat a dog alive!  In that tearful moments, there are two prayers ( we are Catholics) that created a rock foundation on which the family is built on up to today. One was prayed by my mother and the second one prayed by my second eldest brother. My mother's prayer " Dear Mother Ma...

Life isn't fair, but its still good

"I went to KFC. 24 people went for the job, 23 were accepted, I was the only one rejected. And we went for police, five people full of them accepted, I was the only one rejected. I applied for Harvard ten times rejected" said by Jack ma, richest man in China. When you've exhausted all possibilities, remember this , you haven't . No matter how bad it is , it could always be worse. Be glad its not. Put your problems in proper perspective. The reason why we don't become who we want to be is because we do attach to who we've been. Haven't you ever hard people saying " but i have always been like this!" Most of us want the convenience of transformation without the inconvenience required for the transformation. Let go of the past so that you can create a better future. It doesn't mean what happened was right, it means your future happiness is more important than holding on to something you can't change. If you want to achieve something differen...

Authentic Life

By
  When Isaac Newton was in his early twenties, in 1665, a great plague hit London. To prevent the plague from spreading further, London city was locked down. Newton was studying at Trinity College, Cambridge and the school sent all it's students home. Over one hundred people died because of this epidemic.  Was Newton stressed during this quarantine? Perhaps not . It was during this time that Newton got still and concentrated more on his deeper understanding about scientific theories. He wrote papers that became the early calculus , discovered differential and integral calculus and formulated a theory of Universal gravitation .  Now, when the ladder is not Leaning on the right wall, each step we make get us to the wrong place faster.  The foundation , the origin of an authentic life , is knowing who we are. "Who am I , and what do I exactly want in this life?"   There is a uniqueness on every individual here on earth , which when discovered by the individual and ...
