The power of your thoughts is the architect of your destiny. Your destiny is determined by you realising that the outcomes in your life are a direct consequence of your actions, which are themselves born from your thoughts. In essence, the fabric of your reality is woven by the threads of your inner musings. When you aim to modify your actions, you’re merely tweaking the pattern; but when you transform your thoughts, you redesign the entire tapestry. Such a paradigm shift in thinking leads to a harmonious realignment of your actions, paving the way for profound breakthroughs. This concept is echoed in the scripture Proverbs 23:7: “As a man thinketh…

Overthinking as a Solution
“But you can overthink!” said a friend. This was when I shared my thoughts and assumptions on something we were working on. Their rebuke called me to the realization that I was different from them. It might feel like you’re the only one lying awake at night, dwelling on a decision you made earlier that day or worrying about tomorrow’s to-do list. You are not alone. You have found your tribe. There is research that suggests 73% of 25- to 35-year-olds chronically overthink, along with 52% of people ages 45 to 55, so you are not alone. “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” ~Marcus…

#ugblogweek Day5: The Difference between Sadness and Depression
Not that mental health month didn’t have enough focus on these issues, but I thought I would highlight some thing we might have missed that we all tend to confuse. Sadness is different from depression! ‘Sadness—we are all familiar with it. Taylor Swift has made a career writing songs that tap into this emotion. Yet, Taylor typically maintains a positive outlook at the end of her songs. The sadness she talks about is mostly temporary.’ Yet there is other one that I have an experience with; “Crying helps me slow down and obsess over the weight of life’s problems.” – me This is the more extreme emotion than the sadness…

Who are you in your thoughts?
It needn't be dreadful, even the exceptional things we think about and tell us also manifest.

Smile Through your Challenges like Usain Bolt
We all saw the way that Usain Bolt almost effortlessly won Gold, while smiling for the cameras on the way to the finish line. How would it be if you did the same in your life challenges? How do you keep succeeding under the tremendous amount of pressure? . The picture below shows how you could do it. Take a moment and imagine: what if you could only through a hardship, a problem, a sickness, any challenge? In fact, try it now, smile. I am sure as you read this you have that challenge that is bugging and keeping you tensing at this moment or a few minutes ago before you…

#UgBlogWeek Day 2: Why I Stopped Watching Tv
Its 6:45am, I am struggling to talk to God. I am cramping, it is not helping my cause. I whisper a silent prayer and open my phone to get to my Bible app but I end up on Facebook, and as I scroll through it, I find a post by a ’friend’ (we all know Facebook lies about this friendship thing) complaining about the Desire Luzinda’s Faco video advert on his wall. This friend of mine is not a supporter of feminist, so I was shocked when he posted that he will agree when them (feminist) attacked Desire and FACO for the message their portrayed in their advert. Though, he…

#UgBlogWeek 3 : Random Thoughts
Curated blogs. This was one of the most exciting thing I have done this month. I read all the 55 blogs. Had a meeting with a client who says I am the best consultant she has. She makes me feel so proud of myself. I lost a distant granny papa. Bambi my granny ma, the sadness. But why did their rush with the burial, some of us were not prepared. Rest In Peace. The only way to get what you really want, is to know what you really want. And the only way to know what you really want, is to know yourself. And the only way to know yourself,…

Face Off!
We wear the smiles so well. Our eyes are dipped in water to keep them bright. We the strong ones need to keep up a good front. I am torn inside and breaking. But the faces we wear to show that we are fine, that we are Okay are many. We wear the pride of being able and capable so well, they never know. Know that just in the corner of our eyes tears are ready to fall. I am torn inside and breaking. But the faces we wear to show that we are fine, that we are Okay are many. We fight our battles alone because our pride is…

What the eyes can see, the mind can only comprehend
Most times when I am done with running around town chasing that deal, that meeting, that person, that payment, that and that; I tend to sit down at any pavement or even a bench (benches are rare in this Musisi city except at bus stops) and recap my day, watch people rushing to do their own things. There was this one time I found an empty bench on Kampala Road below the beautiful gardens of Constitutional Square. I sat myself down and watched the people move. Taxis and buses fighting for parking space, children coming from school walking and shouting. The place was too busy but I found some sort…

No mistakes
There are no mistakes, the events we bring upon ourselves; no matter how unpleasant. The what we call mistakes are necessary in order for us to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go. Every path we strive to achieve and aim to accomplish has what we would call or refer to as mistakes. Don’t let your #ItsNow to be controlled by the fear of making mistakes and the fear of failure.
