Beauty of Resilience

I define resilience as the ability to withstand adversity, storms and challenges that life presents. But resilience comes to life where there are goals, challenges, hope and faith. Life doesn’t just happen; it’s usually a predestined journey with a divine purpose and goals.

Apparently, the highway of life is characterized by heavy presence of destiny/goal hijackers commonly known as challenges. Fortunately, every individual is graced with a pair of two characters; namely Hope and Faith, who are always willing to ride with you. If you allow them on board they come in handy in the face of adversity. Whenever a challenge hijacks you, they give birth to resilience.

Now, resilience keeps you firmly focused on your goals. As a matter of fact, focus is both a shield and a weapon that overpowers life’s challenges.

No matter how hard life has knocked you, enlist Hope and Faith and witness the beauty of resilience they’ll give you.

Keep focused on your goal

Help The Boy Child; Heal The Society

...........The midwife announces, "it's indeed a girl!" Everyone within earshot wears an irresistible smile and hearts warm up to welcome yet another little woman into the world. Her role in the universe is clearly cut out , and she starts training in readiness for her mission as soon as her hands are strong enough to hold something. Her first birthday present is a beautiful doll, which gives her a countenance similar to the one mama had when she(the little girl) checked into the world. She has her first time experience of sacrifice when she shoves aside her plate of food, to take care of the new found love. Today she's training her (the doll) how to sit, tomorrow she is plaiting her hair, the other day she's carrying her on her back soothing her to sleep. Did I forget that mama is now being instructed to serve food for two? Though soon she'll start preparing meals for her child (doll) and doing her laundry as well. As her obsession with do...

Importance of Introducing Personal Finance To 5 Year Olds

I would have loved to fly with a headline like ‘Instilling Positive Work Ethics In 5 Year Olds’, but I was afraid millennials and generation Zs will shrug the post off, screaming ‘child labor!' Thus the more subtle title 'Importance of Introducing Personal Finance To 5 Year Olds'. Actually, the two concepts are like a single coin, I have simply favored one side over the other. Now that my post has escaped the trash bin and I got the attention of fellow millennials and our younger siblings, let me address the entire public. My name (Wawira – someone who works) has kinda haunted me my entire life. Work has its way with me. It has this powerful force that keeps pulling me towards it. So I don’t recall when I started working. But I remember in traces when I was still very young, I used to bite off more than I could chew quite often, which always resulted in frustration. Nevertheless, I never enjoyed resting until I completed what I FELT needed to be done. While growi...

Is The Health Of A Nation A Reflection Of The Health Of Its Families?

Family is the basic unit of society. Therefore, it goes without saying that society is a composition of families. Hence, a morally ill society is a reflection of morally ill families. When we talk of social evils like corruption, injustice, misuse of power etc. more often we shift our focus to leaders forgetting that leadership is just a title; these people are children born and bred in our families. For instance, whenever a leader is exposed on issues of integrity or rather lack of it, we descend upon them with hate and criticism; we demonize them and even ostracize them. What hypocrisy! We adopt holier than thou attitudes and forget that we too are hanging on the same integrity scale; the only difference being, we’ve not been placed under an auditor’s lens (Almost every human being is or will be a leader at some point in their life. Whether you’re heading a nation, a religious body, a learning institution, a home etc. as long as someone is looking up to you for guidance, pro...
