HOW TO BE YOURSELF
Being yourself means you like who you are. Being yourself means living life how you wanted to live it, regardless of other peoples' opinions. And it just means you respect yourself. Worrying about what others will think is just a waste of time, you can't control them or control their thoughts.
1. KNOW YOURSELF
Our beliefs about who we are go all the way to childhood. We’re born as sponges, and we soak up our environment without even realizing it.
2. LET GO OF NEGATIVE SELF-TALK
Limiting beliefs manifest as negative self-talk. To overcome limiting beliefs and learn how to start being yourself, listen to your inner monologue. You may tell yourself things like, “I’ve always been this way” or “I’m just not good at this.” Perhaps you tell yourself that you need to be perfect to be worthy of love.
3. FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTHS
Your negative traits are not who you are. Replace negative self-talk with positive thoughts that empower you to be yourself. When you focus on your strengths, you build yourself up instead of tear yourself down.
4. STOP LIVING IN THE PAST
Your past does not equal your future. Everyone has made mistakes. They don’t have to define who you are, and you don’t need to spend your life atoning for them. Learn how to let go of guilt and stop living in the past.
5. STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK
For many of us, not caring what others think is easier said than done. It’s human nature to want to fit in, but our fear of what other people think only holds us back. Remember that what people think of you is actually a reflection of them, not you. You can’t control other people’s opinions. All you can do is learn how to be yourself – and how to be happy with that.
6. BE OPEN TO CHANGE
The human brain is complex. We are the product of hundreds of experiences and pieces of information that our brains process every day. The brain is always learning and changing, so how can we expect ourselves to stay the same?
7. BE VULNERABLE
It’s easy to show off the good parts of ourselves. But to be yourself, you have to be your whole self. That means being willing to be vulnerable. If you’re wondering “How can I be myself?,” the answer is to step into your pain and face your fears head on.
8. EXPRESS YOURSELF
Expressing yourself can help you determine what you enjoy, how your experiences affect you and how to start being yourself.
9. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
People crave certainty – it’s one of the Six Human Needs. Yet we also need growth and variety. “All growth starts at the end of your comfort zone.” The journey to learning how to be yourself starts there, too.
10. FIND YOUR COMMUNITY
You’ve done the internal work. Now it’s time to seek support and acceptance for the new you. When you surround yourself with the right people, they’ll elevate your best traits and build you up, instead of holding you back.
Happy New week. New month.

Thinking about my experiences in business and making a difference, I realize how much I have learned from tough times, hurdles, and achievements. Looking back, I am amazed at how much these experiences have taught me. Working at construction sites, untrained primary teacher, waiter, loader, security guard, sales rep in insurance and banking, hotel supervisor and manager, security supervisor to branch manager to operations manager, retail as an area manager to operations manager, this is not a joke, a world of great hustling. In this post, I will be sharing some of the things I have learned.
One big lesson? Being adaptable and bouncing back is key. Challenges have made me rethink my strategies; sparked new ideas and driven me to real results and long-lasting change.
Another lesson I have learned is that teamwork is everything. Each member brings unique strengths, like pieces of a puzzle forming a bigger picture. Your team is your greatest asset. My journey has taught me the power of collaboration. In Kenya, where challenges and opportunities abound, working together drives remarkable results and progress.
Another lesson: Invest in people. Nurturing their potential drives organizational success. Just as a team's strengths propel progress, investing in each member fosters growth. Remember, behind every successful venture are the people who drive it forward.
I am happy that over time, the individuals I have had the privilege of mentoring and guiding have grown into impactful leaders and are succeeding. Seeing their progress and accomplishments reinforces my belief in the power of investing in people. As they thrive, so does the strength of our teams and organizations.
Another lesson: making an impact matters just as much as achieving individual success. It's not only about personal accomplishments though, but also about how we contribute to the greater good. When our actions create positive change and benefit others, it adds depth and meaning to our journey. It is essential to provide value that serves as a foundation for lasting impact.
In every endeavor, whether in business or personal growth, the value we offer is what truly defines our success. When we prioritize creating meaningful contributions and solutions, we not only enrich the lives of others but also leave a legacy that endures.
Finally, to business professionals, here's a tip: Embrace change as a catalyst for growth. In times of uncertainty, being flexible and thinking ahead are what make us successful. Leaders should build a culture of collaboration and inclusivity, knowing that different viewpoints lead to fresh ideas and progress. We can tackle tough problems and capitalize on opportunities to grow and transform by working together.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Now that we are back to our normal lives, after the holiday break, I want to extend my warmest wishes to you for a Happy New Year!
May 2024 be a year of immense growth, profound joy, and meaningful accomplishments. Further to this, my financial advice this year to you,
In the current economic climate, it's crucial to be prudent with your finances. Live within, and if necessary, below your means.
Consider purchasing older-season clothes, and be mindful of your electricity and data usage. Eliminate unnecessary expenses, like contributions to events, and avoid lending money to habitual non-returners.
This isn't the time for grandiose or extravagant displays, gestures, or excessive pride. Expand your social circle, network beyond your usual connections, seize opportunities as they arise, and, above all, maintain a vigilant eye on your financial situation. Prioritize spending wisely and saving diligently.
Take action now—your financial well-being depends on it.
Happy New Year 2024.

♌ *MUST READ STORY!!!*
Mr. Peter had a job interview to attend at 10am but his wife developed complications at 9am. He decided to take the wife to the hospital and leave for the interview thereafter but on their way to the hospital, the taxi broke down. It was already 10:30am before he could get another taxi.
He arrived the hospital at 11am, dropped the wife and used the same taxi to go for the interview. He arrived the interview venue at 12noon(2hours late).
He rang the bell but no one opened the door. Meanwhile, earlier at 10am, the company mail delivery had rang the bell but no one opened the door too. When the door was finally opened, Mr. Peter said "I'm sorry, I came... " he wanted to apologise for coming late, but the Secretary interrupted before he could finish his statement and ushered him to the Board Room. The Secretary said, "I apologise, Mr. Peter, for keeping you waiting since 10am. We actually heard when the bell rang at 10am but we were held up in a meeting with our company suppliers.
However, we have sat since 8am to deliberate on your job specification, your office and the salary."
Mr. Peter was baffled and said, "Ma'am, I haven't been interviewed yet’’. The MD answered him and said, "We decided not to conduct the interview at least to save time and also save the interviewees money on transport. So we looked at the papers for the most appropriate person we wanted and we opted for you. Also, we had tested your patience this morning by keeping you waiting intentionally for 2hrs. That's part of your interview. You won't be disappointed. You’ll be shown your office, your secretary and the
driver assigned to drive your company's allotted vehicle. You’ll be on probation for 2yrs."
He got the job!!!
On his way out, his phone rang and it was the wife. She said, "honey, I was delivered of a bouncing baby boy." It was their fifth child and the only male child. He immediately named the child 'Miracle'.
He got a double miracle same day. All the disappointments turned out to favour him. God positioned the mail delivery man to ring the bell at 10am.
God also held them up in the meeting until Mr. Peter arrived.
_Note:_ You might be held up by issues in your life and hope might be diminishing and you think the chance is gone. But you know what? God's waiting for you to release His favour.
So don't go back along the way. Don't quit. Don't be upset by what you face along the way. In fact, God has already deliberated on your specifications.
One more thing: You don't have to go through any interview, since you have all the qualifications God wants.
My prayers for you:
1. God will position somebody at the right place and the right time for you who will ring the bell in your favour.
2. God will turn all your disappointments to be a blessing for you.
3. Every positive meeting will end in your favour and every negative meeting will scatter in your favour.
May this be your portion.
Remain blessed beyond measure!
_Kindly share to encourage others.

A Crow lived in the Forest and was absolutely satisfied in life. But one day he saw a Swan. 'This Swan is so white and I am so black,' Crow thought. 'This Swan must be the happiest bird in the world.' He expressed his thoughts to the Swan.
"Actually," the Swan replied, "I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a Parrot, which has two colours. I now think the Parrot is the happiest bird in creation."
The Crow then approached the Parrot The Parrot explained, "I lived a very happy life— until I saw a Peacock. I have only two colours, but the Peacock has multiple colours."
The Crow then visited the Peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him. After the people had left, the Crow approached the Peacock; "Dear Peacock, you are so beautiful. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me, they immediately shove me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the planet. The Peacock replied, "I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo. I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realized that the Crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So for the past few days I have been thinking that if I were a Crow, I could happily roam everywhere."
MORALE OF THE STORY!
That's our problem too. We make unnecessary comparison with others and become sad. We don't value what God has given us. This all leads to the vicious cycle of unhappiness. Let's value the things God has given us. Learn the secret of being happy and discard the comparison which leads only to unhappiness. Learn to thank God for everything.
- Beauty is not a guarantee to marriage.
- Falling sick does not mean you are about to die.
- Getting rich is not the definition of prosperity.
- Building a nice house is not enjoying luxury.
- Sleeping on an expensive bed does not bring you sound sleep.
- Driving a new car is not a guarantee that you're going to arrive at your destination.
- Wearing the best clothes does not mean they look good on you.
- Having a family doctor does not guarantee permanent health.
- Being highly educated is not a sign of wisdom.
- Marrying from a rich home does not guarantee a happy marriage.
- Winning an argument does not mean that you are correct.
Whatever is done without the merit of Heaven is fake or temporal. He who builds without God, is building for nothing; and he who watches over a city without God, watches in vain. Not everything is possible with men. Yet everything is possible with God. Stay blessed and be contented with what God has given to you!

We need to see leaders who truly act as role models.Leaders who look, sound, breathe and smell like us, We need women. We need people with disabilities, who have been homeless or unemployed. Most of all, we need leaders who are young – and in our own communities.
It's no surprise then that young people are losing their sense of social value. One million of us are now unemployed. Career services have been axed and Student tuition fees have trebled and now interest rates have hiked we can't access loans.
Against this overwhelming tide of barriers, it is not enough for young people to believe in ourselves. Society must believe in us too. We need support – the kind of support that lets you in through the closed doors of leadership, Hey my fellow youth let us support our very own and say no to this problems. Happy weekend.
