The Power of Gratitude
Employ the power of gratitude to turbo charge yourself to success. The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated. People will do more if they feel appreciated. People will do less if they are criticized. You can use these fundamental aspects of human nature to immensely succeed in life. Be thankful [...]

You can achieve more in your life by obstinately refusing to let go of your hunger for success. The longer you persist towards your goals, the more likely it is that you will succeed. You can achieve almost any goal through persistence. Persistence is the ability to focus and take action towards your goals even [...]
Wheel of Fortune No More!
Success is not an accident. You must purpose it in your mind to be successful. You can’t just roll the dice or turn the wheel of fortune. You need a plan of exactly how you are going to get from A to B. Then you need to execute the plan to the best of your [...]
Are you a Prisoner or a Hostage?
We are born free but gradually become prisoners or hostages of emotions, environment or circumstances. The process is so gradual we never realize it is happening until we end up deep in captivity. There are no loud sirens, hand cuffs, guns or judges before incarceration. But once behind the bars, we loose our freedom and [...]
Shun Intolerance
What does intolerance have to do with success? Surprisingly – a lot! Success in life calls for constantly learning from people around us. People are different in looks, shapes, beliefs, tastes, habits, views etc. If you don’t accept or at least respect diversity in people, it will limit how high you can soar.
Intolerance is the [...]
Rising above Mediocrity
Mediocrity is defined as ordinariness as a consequence of being average and not outstanding. Being mediocre means lacking exceptional quality or ability. It is where you and I end up by default, without even trying. It does not take much effort to be mediocre. But it does take effort, special skills and discipline to break away.
Write your Living Obituary
Your success or failure in life will be reflected on your obituary unless someone manipulates the truth on your behalf. Writing your own private obituary is an out of the box way of thinking about your life and what you call success.
It is an excellent way to put your life in perspective and I recommend [...]
The Law of Giving
Giving with an open heart will open floodgates of blessings to your life. If you practice the habit of giving to others the universe will compensate you many times over. Success and the Law of Giving are intricately bound. It is very difficult to succeed in life without being a generous soul.

Travelling light is both stress free and more economic. It is more fun with less hustle. Just make sure you carry all the essentials for the journey.
The Amazing Power of Compounding
Your bank thrives on the amazing power of compounding. You too can learn and apply this same power and transform your life, from your health to your finances, from your career to your relationships. Albert Einstein said “one of the most amazing phenomenon of our universe is the power of compounding”. I sincerely hope to [...]
Financial Freedom Manifesto
Money is not the answer to everything, but having financial freedom can help you avoid pain and increase pleasure. To be able to attain financial freedom, you have to focus on delivering value to others, decouple yourself from the actual work of it. Deliver value 24/7 and be paid for it. Find leverage and use the power of compounding to your advantage.
Run your life like a Corporation.
I am eager to inspire you to be the best you can be by running your life like a corporation. However, it was not exactly easy for me to write this post because of two little guys between my ears.
Have you ever tried doing something and literally had two voices in your head? It happened [...]
You reap what you sow.
What kind of seeds are you planting in your life right now? Whether you realize it or not, you are a farmer. You are always planting and harvesting. Every thing you do is a seed in the garden of life. You plant seeds both through your actions and inaction. Just like clockwork these seeds will germinate, grow and come back to bless or bite you. My friend, that clock is ticking.
I had the privilege of growing up on a little farm at the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. I have first hand experience in farming. We grew corn, beans, potatoes and pumpkins. During the planting season, just after tilling the land, we would go to the granary and get the preserved seeds for planting. The farm had a section for corn and a section for potatoes. We planted corn at the corn section and the potatoes at the potatoes section. During harvest we would harvest each type of crop from it’s designated section. Sounds simple right? How is it then that in life we get tempted to try and harvest corn from the potatoes section? Why is it that we want to harvest success after planting seeds of failure?
What do you Focus on?
We never really step back and analyze our thought patterns. But they are critical to success and happiness. Whatever you think about, you become.
What channel is your mind tuned to? What is the primary thought running through your mind? What channel is influencing you in ways that you cannot even begin to imagine?
