There was a leadership spill in Australia last week. The Australian Labor party felt it was in a losing bus and had to change the driver to stay on course. Within hours, Australia got a new driver; the first female Prime Minister in Australian history. (more…)
Jonah had just bought a piece of land near Nazareth and needed extra tools to till the land. One day as he was going to the market he saw a sign “Joseph & Mary Carpentry“. He went in and started chatting with the carpenter, a young man named Jesus. (more…)
Do you want to use every ounce of potential to achieve more? Do you want to succeed in life? If you are anything like me, you probably want more out of life. You want to succeed. You want to thrive. You want to prosper. Mediocrity is not an option. (more…)
My dad took me aside at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Kenya on a fine September afternoon. He shared with me words of wisdom that have stayed with me ever since. My parents were nervous of cutting loose their green son, straight out of high school. They wanted to impart me with as much last minute wisdom as humanly possible.
They had heard of chilling statistics about young, unprepared Kenyan international students. They wanted to help me beat the odds; but there was only so much they could do. I boarded the 9000km flight feeling free like a bird. I was finally free to do as I pleased. (more…)
I recently had a near death experience that made me re-evaluate aspects of my life. They say that your life flashes before you just before death. It was not quite like that for me. My mind froze.

I grew up in Kenya in the Nyayo era. This was the period in which the then president, my namesake, Daniel arap Moi ruled supreme. Though he sat comfortably on the wrong side of perfection, he had a unique philosophy. Some may call it unique in its simplicity, but nobody said your belief (philosophy) has to be complex. In fact his philosophy was only three words. (more…)
If there was ever the need for a paternity test for the positive thinking movement, guess who the daddy would be? My money would be on Napoleon Hill; and for good reason. (more…)
There are a handful of people who have touched me at at critical junctions in my life. They have inspired me to fight the good fight even when I felt like giving up. They instilled the burning desire for success even when I was slacking off. They gave me what I lacked when I needed it most. They gave me renewed hope when I was down and out. You may know some of them while others are unsung heroes. I will be shinning the spotlight on these heroes in this new series. (more…)
