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.

What is Kaizen?
Kaizen is the process of reaching your goals in life by harnessing the amazing power of baby steps. It is a simple concept imported from Japan, that can transform your life if you apply it.
According to Wikipedia, “Kaizen (continuous improvement) is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement throughout all aspects of life. When applied to the workplace, Kaizen activities continually improve all functions of a business, from manufacturing to management and from the CEO to the assembly line workers.”
Instead of focusing on giant leaps towards your life goals, you can apply the principles of Kaizen to better yourself each and every day. Kaizen is all about making small changes and monitoring results, then adjusting. Instead of big overwhelming goals, you can have smaller goals, which can be rapidly adapted and accomplished.
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?

Rekindle your Dormant Passion!
Like dormant volcanoes, we all have passions that are just there; not active, not extinct. Dormant passions take away a piece of us. You sit there and think how things could have been but are not. You sit there and wish you had taken a different turn in life. Unfortunately, wishing alone won’t ignite the fire within, or awaken the giant in you. Wishing just makes you feel empty and unsatisfied. Today’s blog post is dedicated to inspiring you to find satisfaction in your soul by rekindling your passion.
