BECOME A FIGHTER

FIGHT YOU WAY UP
A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity while an opportunist sees opportunity in every difficulty.
                                             Winston Churchill.
Most often we try so much in getting our desired result in life, but we end up failing. This does not mean we should give up, this means that we should keep on giving our best. This difficult time are just but temporary defeats and should not become our reality that we will never make it in life. We all fail in life on one way or another even the billionaires of the world also experienced such defeats, speak of warren buffet, Richard Branson, Bill gates Steve Jobs all did not become successful without facing challenges, but they did not give up they kept moving forwarding no matter what difficulty or challenge they faced.


The best thing to ever do is not to quit, for we only fail when we give up on ourselves. We have to learn to persevere the challenges of the world. To get to the pick of a mountain we have to go through the valley and once we get at the top it’s the person you become that matters for you will have not conquered the mountain but conquered yourself. In every difficult comes an opportunity that you will only discover when you do not give up on yourself. Fight your way to the top it is upon you to decide whether you are a pessimist or opportunist the choice is you to make so be diligent and decisive enough in making that decision.


No matter how good we are in what we do, we will always experience some pain in and we cannot run away from it. I love what Erick Thomas says “pain is temporally, it will last for a day a month or even an year but eventually it will subsidize and something different will take its course but if you quit it will last forever.” We will never realize our true potential when we give up. We have to learn to endure the pain of life and keep moving forward. It was Martin Luther king Jr that said “if you cannot run you can walk if you can walk you can crawl the most important thing is to never stop moving forward.” I draw lots of motivating from this words and it gives me hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and for me to come to see that end of light I have to keep moving forward. I have to trust the process and not rush through it.


“I have often said that a man’s character is not judged when he has successfully won a battle, but when he is up against the wall and he decides to fight the pain for him to realize his strengths.” Great words from the WWE champion John Cina it is not what we get in life that really matters but who we become at the end of the day and that comes from fighting your way up. If Nelson Mandela had given up South Africa would not have fought the apartheid menace, if Mahatma Gandhi gave up the British would have never stopped oppressing the Indians. These are great leaders who stood for what they believed in and fought their way up. They did not rest until when it was done. It took the late Nelson Mandela 27 years for him to realize his dreams of a free state. He endured the pain of harsh terrific and horrific conditions in the prisons, yet still he did not give up. Who are we to give up just because we have experienced a few challenges and difficulty? Winston Churchill made it clear that “ we should never ever give up on ourselves.”


For us to get to our dreams; we must never give up, we must never lose hope, we must never give in to negative forces, we must believe in our self and we must learn to fight our way up the stairs. All we need to do is set our eyes to the star and focus to it until you get to it. Do not get your eyes off your goals. Work hard and work smart to get to the top always ensure that you settle for nothing else but the best. I would love to complete by motivating words from less brown, “aim for the moon for if you miss you will land yourself among the stars.” Keep moving towards your course and let you purpose guide you. No matter what happens along the way keep moving forward and fight the challenges and the difficulties that you shall encounter and you will discover the strengths in you.

Please don’t just read and keep it to yourself pass it round help a bother, a sister, a friend, a workmate overcome the challenges that they are facing. We can only make a significance impact when we share to our family, friends and relatives.

Maina Azimo says, “Success is what you achieve for yourself, purpose is why you achieve it and significance is how you use your success to help others.”

SING A NEW SONG

DANCING THE SAME OLD SONG?
So here we are in the second week of 2018 and you are still the same old you. Singing the same old songs and dancing to its rhythm yet you expect different result. Let me make it crystal clear that it will not happen. A week before the of 2017, we were so positive wishing our friends, family, workmates and relatives lovely inspiring messages of “happy and prosperous new year.” Then followed inspirational quotes and messages of how 2018 is going to be great. Setting goals and resolutions for the New Year was the norm to a majority of us. That’s wonderful and the best way of staring a new year.

Something has just happened while still in the second week, that literally amazes me. We are still singing the song of oh no its ‘Monday’, thanks to god its ‘Friday’ song and wishing that this month can come to an end first. We have even developed some funny jokes like “wakale washikane wakimbize hii mwezi.” Very funny! right? But what does this speak of us? Singing this kind of phrase is diminishing. We want to make a difference yet we don’t want to change. We want better results but we don’t want to work for them. We want better lives but still holding to the past. 2017 is gone, it’s in the past and you can’t do anything about it. All we can do is look back and learn from the mistakes we did and take necessary actions to change that mistake so us to shape the result of tomorrow. Nothing is going to change unless you decide to change you way of doing things. This will only happen when you make a shift in your mind. You have to develop new habits of proactivity. Stepping up and taking responsibility of our actions.

We must learn to surrender to change for effectiveness, but the first thing we are obligated to, is to change our mentality about everything. I want to agree with T.D.Jakes that “you can buy a new house, but if you put the same old you nothing will ever change. If you buy a car and put in the old you nothing will ever change.” This New Year won’t be different when you keep doing the same old things you did in 2017. You have to come up with a new song of proactivity; a song of diversity and versatility, a song of competence and diligence, a song of accountability and responsibility. Develop a new dancing style to your tune, a style of decisive decision, a style of commitment, a style of determination, a style of endurance, a style of persistency, a style of discipline and a style of constant and never ending self-improvement.

The only way to achieve this is by changing our mentality. Develop new habits that would make you a different person. Our success can only be limited by our own way of thinking. Look around you and see what is pulling you back and let it go. If it’s your cynical friends or workmates let them go.  Change your thoughts and change your thinking, change your thinking and change your decisions, change your decisions and change your actions, change your actions and change your results. It’s time to embrace change and make things happen to us. If we are to make a significant difference in our 2018 we have to change our song and the rhythm of dancing.

You cannot be doing the same thing the same way and expecting different result. It’s time to change and it’s not late before you realign yourself and head to the right direction; a direction towards  your goals, a direction towards your missions and visions, a directions towards you’re your purpose and let you values and principle guide you. Keep your eye directly to your focus and keep moving forward, “don’t stop along the way and start throwing stones at every dog that back you will never get to your destination as was said by Abraham Lincon is a wise saying that keeps us from distractors.

“Aim high straight into the moon for if you miss you will land among the stars.” Very inspiring words from Less Brown. You are a shining star; you are capable of making it to your dreams and accomplish all your endeavors, only if you work it out. Stop the game of complaining, criticizing, blaming and pointing fingers and get down to work. Do not fallow the masses go to the direction where people don’t expect and live a trail. Write a new song and dance to a new rhythm.

Please share this to your friends, workmates, family and relative. Help them stay true to their course and purpose.

Thank you for reading and passing it round.
