Your "WHY"

By


So, I want to ask you a question. What are your fears? What are you scared of? Because we all have fears. We all have something that’s blocking us, that’s holding us back. You can either live your dreams or live your fears and I think the majority of us actually, are living our fears.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life and don’t be trapped by living with the results of other peoples thinking and most importantly have the courage to follow your heart and intuition because they somehow already know what you truly want to become – all else is secondary.
Majority of the fears that we have are not life or death fears, they are not those kind of fears. But through our imagination, we blow them out of proportion and give them more power than they actually have or deserve and permit them to govern our lives as regards how far we can stretch out on our dreams and discovering our stuff. You see now, if you go through life being afraid, people can sense that – they can pick up on that fear.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to loose. You are already naked; there is no reason not to follow your heart. What would your life be like if you look towards the future, what would your life be like? When you begin to look at your life you can decide to use fear as a blocker or as a building block.
I want you to focus on your dreams, I want you to focus on your goals, I want you to focus on your solutions. Will it be easy to just run out there and do it? NO. Will it happen overnight? NO. Will it be a struggle? YES. Will there be times that you can’t make ends meet? YES, THAT’S A PART OF IT. Will there be times that you won’t know what to do? YES, THAT’S A PART OF IT!
What is that will give you the drive? What is it that will ignite the courage in you to get up and come back again and again and again? Your WHY! Your why is going to push you when you can’t push yourself, when you want to quit and give up, your WHY is going to give you that edge that you need, that advantage that you need, that lift that you need to get to the next level. Your WHY. Yes we are tired, yes we are hungry, yes the mind is saying give up, yes its saying quit. But we cannot give up because we realize we have reached that goal yet.
We get one opportunity in life, one chance in life to do whatever you are going to do, to lay your foundation and to make whatever mark you’re going to make, whatever legacy you are going to leave, live your legacy.

By Myself

Humans. Human beings. My fellow beings. You can call me what you want; black and ugly but you can’t convince me that the lord don’t love me. At the end of the day more often than not am contented with the work of my hands, the hands that the Lord has allowed me to use. Still, someone somewhere has a problem with that. You call me lucky, why can’t it just be that am blessed? I have a date with my future as such am a track star running through life chasing my dreams. I zone off sometimes thinking what heaven is and what is hell; if so what happens to a changed man and woman who die in their cells in Uganda’s Luzira and Kenya’s Kamiti? I need no answers to these questions because time will tell since I have a date with my destiny, she is my virtual girl-friend, and she’s more than a girl. Don’t much good come from me but my work it’s a gift given from God, so ama’ use it. I put a message in my handy work and verbs hope it brightens your day, if times are hard when you read it, s

By

Understanding the skills or competencies potential employers are seeking is not only key but the first step in laying out you application / cover letter when it comes to making successful applications and performing well at interviews. During the interview, it is prudent that you not only cite the competencies that you possess, but go a step further and cite examples of how you have applied those competencies and how they have transitioned to success or improved programming for an organization or business venture. This approach is more likely than not to show that you have the skills that the interviewers require as you are more likely to convince them of your strategic merit and ability to do the job. Relating your skills to the post Upon having studied the post that you are applying for, you will have a clear picture of what the organization you are applying to wants in the person who is to be the position holder. For further clarity, you can go a step further to study what

Inspire…Advise…Mentor

Sometimes it’s the small things that can surprise you the most.  I never expected to be able to study the Ugandan culture up close and love it so much, but here at Namutumba District, everything is like new, fresh and unexploited. Being together with the community members is like reading a great book, we are still and yet moving and exploring in our minds.  Reading a good book, watching a great movie is like exploring other worlds, being transported from right where you sit.  I’ve had it the other way too, travelling thousands of miles, moving from one part of the world to the other, knowing pretty well that this is something I can do and aware that I am privileged to do it…amongst many! All of this exploration and journeying in the larger District that is Namutumba, for me, is like sitting in a circle of people who represent the world.  We’ve got a big ball of gold yarn and we’re throwing it back and forth between us.  In the end, there’s a spider web between us, crisscrossing th

Youth Get Empowered - Economically!

By
Nawangisa parish situated in Kibaale Sub County is one of the localities under the “creating spaces for ACTIVISTA ” programme area by ActionAid, Busiki LRP.  Similar to other Parishes, the Youth constitute the majority of the community moreover; most of them depend on menial and unsustainable ventures for income whilst those privileged enough to use their small farm acreages for livelihood, use rudimentary tools on individual basis and an even greater number does not engage in any practices for development. In Nov. 2013, I convened a  one-day Activista training forum under the Activista platform at Kibaale Sub County to empower the Youth on result-based documentation, planning, efficacy in resource use and sustaining incomes attended to by Activistas themselves. The training was anchored on first component of the HRBA methodology that details empowerment. Succinctly, the focus on; galvanizing for individual and collective action, identifying and nurturing their capacities on leadershi
