DECISIONS AWESOME PEOPLE MAKE

FIRST DECISION: TO BE TRUTH BUILT

BUILD YOUR LIFE ON TRUTH. DECIDE TO LIVE A LIFE OF INTEGRITY WHICH GIVE INCREDIBLE INTERNAL HAPPINESS. There are many people who walk on this planet with lots of anger and sadness because they built their life on lies and deceit and therefore are always in fear of being found. This constant hiding takes away their happiness. They failed to realize that happiness does not spring from outside but from inside one's heart made up of a clear conscience and self respect. In the eyes of people, they looks success, rich and famous but to their own selves, they know very well that happiness is the last thing in their life. Being truth built is to have confidence in God and in one's own abilities and talents. Being truth built is simply self awareness and appreciation. Being truth built is learning from one's past, it's influences, the hurts and pains, disappointments and frustrations but also the good things, It is forgiving and letting go of the pain of the past and therefore getting healed by God's Grace which takes place when each soul opens its heart to accept is. Being truth built is also asking for forgiveness and accepting to take what is good from one's past and leave what is negative. After that process, being truth built means never looking back unless you want to go back there. So, how do you get through self awareness to superior confidence and self esteem? There are Six steps involved;

1. Think and write down on paper your Talents, Strengths, Weaknesses, Blessings and Gifts that one has in his or her life.

2. Once you've written your talents, strengths, blessings and gifts, focus on your talents. Develop them. Stop comparing yourself with the rest or competing with the rest. Compete against your own potential instead

3. Whatever other people think about you, what matters is what you think about yourself. Whether circumstances be right or not, the circumstance that really matters is your opinion or belief about yourself. The third step is to develop a winner's attitude. Create a mental picture of yourself succeeding in your field. Even when problems and obstacles come your way, hold this picture in your mind. Know that God is at your side till the end of time. The highway to success is filled by potholes of failure. Don't get discouraged. Failure is at the very heart of success.

4. The fourth step is to break away from the false expectations of other people. You have the right to live the good life that God meant for you. Stop living other people's dreams. Stop wanting to please everybody. Stop defining success in terms of what other people say. Success in not all about money, fame and sex. Success is about true happiness and Joy in every day life. Follow the career that makes you happy and not the career that your relatives and friends or society in general thinks that you should follow

5. Dream Big Dreams. Dreams that inspire you. Dreams that spring from your talents and passions. Not just small dreams that are overly concerned with the challenges that be. Don't let fear of failure slow you down. Stop comparing your life story with other failures but take as your heroes, people who rose from the ashes of failure and poverty to the glory of success and significance. You have the potential. You are the child of God. You can accomplish anything you want with God's help.

6. Develop high quality friendships. Stop listening hanging around those friends who laugh at you and your goals. Drop those cynics who tell you that you cannot achieve your goals. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and at the same time, challenge you to be your best self without judging you. Surround yourself with friends who want to make a difference in the world and live highly meaningful life. If you surround yourself with low quality friends who have low quality thoughts and actions, you will live a low quality life with low quality results. Remember above all, God is and must be your best of all friends. A friend and no a policeman is who God is.

LOVE COMMITTMENT..

On 11th November, which was on a Sunday, more than 50 Students of Statehouse Girls approached the Altar and imitating the wedding ceremony, vowed to remain pure in heart, mind, soul and action. According to the beatitude, blessed are the pure in heart, they shall see God, the students wanted an experience of God and preserve their bodily purity until marriage. It is so encouraging to see so many of our friends coming forward and vowing chastity in a world that views virginity as lack of opportunity and or even a disease. Surprisingly, I have not heard of anybody who has died of virginity but those who have lost it in a fleeting moment of pleasure die by the day. These young ladies have a different story and wants to be different. They know that the formula for success in not easy to know but that for failure lies in simply following the crowd. They know that it is easy to go with the flow but they know that the flow always goes downhill and becomes stagnant and dead. They have decided to walk the highway. The way of the few that brings satisfaction and personal success. They have refused the myth that a young person cannot resist sexual desires or that everyone is having sex. 'Who is everyone? I am not everyone!' they say. They want to beat their own paths and they know that they are not alone. Kudos Grace-full ladies! Let them laugh now but remember, he or she that laughs last, laughs best!! I am sure you  will get Gentlemen who will Love you and Cherish you!

TAIZE RETREAT!

Over the last one week, over 10,000 youth gathered as Expo grounds in Kigali, Rwanda for the quadrennial Taize Retreat. The last one was held in Nairobi in 2008. It was a wonderful experience for many of us in many ways. First, it was the first time for a good majority of the Kenyans to visit Rwanda and to travel by road for almost 24hours. Though tiring, it was very exciting and adventurous to travel aboard Kampala Coach all the way from the Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi, through Kampala Uganda with its exquisite landscapes to Kigali, Rwanda. Long, tiring but thrilling. Did I say how many Kenyans were there? 650!! Kudos to Kenyan Youth for their enthusiasm in Christ. We were second only to Neighbouring Burundi who were more than 800 but do we say??
