Self Development


SELF DEVELOPMENT.

Have you ever asked yourself how you can get to the next level? Could be rich or successful? When I talk of rich I mean having freedom to make choices and do what you want to achieve your vision. When I say success I mean adding value to yourself. Success needs preparation, going from ordinary to extraordinary. Always learn to dominate and not competing. Growth comes in by asking questions and not giving directions because this brings in new ideas on board. Ideas are like muscles they are key you either take them or lose. The only difference between successful and unsuccessful is how time is utilized by each. You don’t seek success you make yourself valuable with discipline being the key and vision that’s brings in strength and simplifies life because with vision you are able to make choices that help you get to your destiny. Have you ever looked at your life and seen things that deter your development? could be your friends, things you did in the past, beliefs or environment. If there are, you need to take the initiative to change your actions or way of doing things and you will find the universe on your side. Its the high time we don’t let our life’s be controlled and the things to avoid are:

1.Being Money-oriented —This controls most humans in the planet. I don’t mean it’s bad, you know how great things you can do with it or even help with it right? What I mean is don’t let your choices be influenced by money follow your heart. When you follow your intuation and use right channels to acquire it, money will come easily than the one you chase.

2.Relationship—I know this is a touchy subject to youths. How many instances have you ever thought that you need someone to be happy and complete? if you think you need someone to make you complete you are likely to have a breakdown if the person leaves. I am not against relationships however I will advise one to get into a relationship when he or she is ready for one. Develop enough mental strength to decide what you want and wait.

3.The past—Don’t let your past control your present and future. Leave the darkness behind so that you don’t block light of your future. If one did wrong you win by letting go and move on, let not the pain of your past ruin your destiny.

4.Opinions—The need to feel wanted and fit in can cause you travel paths you don’t want. Before you do something think whether that’s what you want or you consider people’s opinions. Everyone should know you were born with a reason and you are unique. Shine, stand out and appreciate yourself and you will be loved for who you are. Those who really care will see light and shine with you.

5.Beliefs—At times there are beliefs we come across either we have been raised with them or learned of which some may deter your goal achievement. What you need to put in mind is that there is nothing you cannot do, nothing you cannot become if only you believe in yourself. Move from limited to unlimited and your potential will be unlimited. Always have challenges and circumstances as a blessing not a curse because the help in strengthening you.

Breaking the Barrier

Francis, a third year  student pursuing Gender and Development Studies at Kenyatta University and a volunteer at DWB, sadly narrates how gender stereotyping in his culture denied his sisters the opportunity to access education. "Having been brought up in a patriarchal family with most powers vested on men, I have grown up witnessing a lot of injustices done to women and girls. Most of these injustices are culturally determined. One of the things I have seen and broken my heart is seeing my own blood sisters denied the opportunity to go to school because they are women and according to our culture, women cannot be as brave as men and therefore, educating them will be a waste of resources." This made me desire to be a champion of change  in my community.The desire to achieve a  society free  from   violations of a vast array of rights such as the right to health, adequate standard of living, education, marriage and family relations, work,...

Cost of Traditions

Every community, tribe ,society has a significantly  distinctive   function from the rest ,a function that when you see it or hear about it, you simply have an idea of what that group is.Welcome to Africa and Kenya in particular, a beautiful land with a composition of upto 42 different communities, what a blessing! With so many dishes across, different modes of dressing, different songs, different dialects and so many more. We call it diversity of culture. Well a sack cannot carry only good potatoes, in relation to this despite the fact that we have good practices among our diverse communities practices like male circumcision which reduces the chances of contracting HIV/AIDS among men, Bull fighting which creates harmony and unity among the Luhyas tribe just to mention a few, we also have destructive practices in our cultures. Practices like Female Genital Mutilation popularly known as FGM, early and/or forced marriages. FGM being a practiced culture among the Maasa...

 A transition from my Unspoken to Beauty for Ashes. Christine Miloyo, Founder and President of Global Youth Agenda. Being an abled differently person, is not an easy ride, especially when the condition is acquired. More so, being a woman with a disability in today’s society it’s like life handed you lemons while the rest were given apples. The stigma associated with mental health especially in African countries, especially for a woman is quite a great challenge.   The transition from my unspoken to Beauty for ashes traces back to the jiffy when I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in July 2015, indeed it seemed like the world had slam shut its window of opportunities on me. I saw the restrictions associated with having a cerebral condition. However, this was a hurdle I had to cross before I could be crowned with my long overdue awaited graduation which was really crowned with pomp and flickering colors. Investing eight years in Cam...
