Some practice’s we call ‘Modern Living’??

What’s your excuse?

…anyone can pick on someone they perceive as being weaker to bully. Being tough is humbling yourself to go back and apologize – Nick Vujicic

What are your excuses for not doing what you have to do?

Encouragment creates POSITIVE movement in life, ridicule retrogresses one’s life! I am who I am because my parents encouraged me to ‘TRY’ despite my “disability” – Nick Vujicic
‘True potential comes from trying’

I do get discouraged but positive words of FAITH within religious books like the Bible keep me moving ahead!

Can life be meaningful & fun even without what we consider necessary?
…my faith determines my life and what it’s capable of. I thoroughly enjoyed sky diving – Nick Vujicic

Can I have a meaningful relationship? What do you think of me & my wife (above picture) You play the part God assigns you first

Kristo ndie mkuu wa nyumba hii

BE KIND TO EVERYBODY. IT WILL
ENRICH YOU MULTI FOLD IN THE
LONG RUN.
One stormy night an elderly man
and his wife entered the lobby of a
small hotel in Philadelphia, USA
trying to get out of the rain . They
approached the front desk in order
to get some shelter for the night.
“Could you possibly give us a room
here?” – the husband asked. The
clerk gave a broad smile , looked at
the couple and explained that it was
unfortunate that there were three
simultaneous conventions in town.
“All of our rooms are taken,” the
clerk said. “ But I can’t send a nice
couple like you out into the rain at
one o’clock in the morning. Would
you perhaps be willing to sleep in
my room? It’s not exactly a suite,
but it will be good enough to make
you folks comfortable for the
night.” When the couple declined,
the young man insisted . “Don’t
worry about me, I shall be fine.” the
clerk told them. So the couple
agreed.
As he paid his bill the next morning,
the elderly man appreciated the
kindness of the clerk and said to the
clerk, “You deserve to be the kind of
manager who should be the boss of
the best hotel in town. Maybe
someday I’ll build one for you.” The
clerk looked at them and smiled.
The three of them had a good laugh.
As they drove away, the elderly
couple agreed that the helpful clerk
was indeed an exceptional manager.
Two years passed. The clerk had
almost forgotten the incident when
he received a letter from the old
man. It recalled that stormy night
and enclosed a round-trip ticket to
New York, asking the young man to
pay them a visit. The old man met
him in New York, and led him to the
corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th
Street. He then pointed to a great
new building there, a pale reddish
stone, with imposing elevation and
watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.
“That,” said the older man, “is the
hotel I have just built for you to
manage.” “You must be joking.” –
the young man said. “I can assure
you I am not.” – said the older man,
a sly smile playing around his
mouth. The older man’s name was
William Waldorf-Aster, and that
magnificent structure was the
original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The
young clerk who became its first
manager was George C. Boldt. This
young clerk never foresaw that a
single act of kindness would
catapult him to become manager of
one of the world’s most glamorous
hotels.
Be kind to everybody. It will enrich
you multi fold in the long run.

You can’t build a foundation on lies!

People make decisions based on information they have. A lot of people seek to manipulate this information to their advantage (they “call” this being cleaver). *A fact I have learnt to be true is that you are not cleverer than the universe, and that the only thing that remains constant is truth. (Please note here truth is dependant on view of your subject ie like which side you are viewing a building from).
Look around, everything thats prospering is prospering due to trust by the mass of humanity. You buy bread that you trust not to be substandard/ harmfull! Do you ever want to deal with people whose word you can’t trust? Likewise to everyone you are dealing with.
Over time and as responsibilities increase people tend to seek those who’s word is their bond (either in deed or product). While over time those who’s word is untrustworthy people not only avoid but spread the word too for others to avoid. To gain back trust takes so much more effort than building it that begs the question ‘why even start lies’?
You see poverty, non progress and suffering amoungst a community, look out for high levels of lies within that community(and a lot of times told straight in your face without blinking). As I write this I’m reflecting on a community that I came across that looked very peaceful but I found to be so secretive that businesses tended to grab as much as they could when they could eg house rents were demanded 12months in advance. Needless to say poverty was … in the midst of wealth. I also look at an old man who’s word was his bond and whenever he delivered coffee to the factory he’s was ALWAYS taken in/given first priority because they didn’t have to verify integrity of his berries.
Food for thought: when someone is truthful when dealing with you, will you be willing to forgive them when an error occurs?

Being truthful gives you the space to create, find, see, recognize and attract those who seek it. Likewise for lies, issue being what happens when you attract better liars

Never Blame Your Children For Selling You Out!

Do you exclude? Exclude your partner, exclude one child, exclude workers, exclude the society you reside in or own property in? exclusion includes exclusion from information, exclusion from decisions/decision making, exclusion from earnings, exclusion from sharing & exclusion from love.
*whenever you exclude, you exclude yourself eventually and totally
When you were at the top did you make it your business to pull others up (without discrimination) ie share?
Most people get comfortable and criticise and/or take advantage of those trying to find their way up. There’s a law of the universe that then kicks in, those in need throw out respect (of rule of law & of themselves) and seek to fulfill their needs by ALL means eg theft, coups, collaboration with your enemies, selling trade/family secrets, aiding plunder/theft, or even murdering you to get you out of their way.

Do you have enemies? Look at what you failed to do to others and correct it, as they will eventually be dangerous to your survival.

*The scriptures even state that when people get tired of struggling, they eventually hold your table cloth by it’s edges and bring the whole table down!
