Appreciate Yourself. Embrace Yourself.

Give yourself the extra attention you need and deserve.

Resisting and ignoring your own feelings and emotions does not serve you.  It leads to stress, illness, confusion, broken relationships, fits of anger and bouts of deep, dark depression.  Anyone who has experienced any of the above knows that these states of mind are horrifically unhealthy… and when you’re in the habit of self-neglect, it’s near impossible to escape.

You have to admit, to a certain extent, you have spent too much of your life trying to shrink yourself.  Trying to become smaller.  Quieter.  Less sensitive.  Less opinionated.  Less needy.  Less YOU.  Because you felt broken, and you didn’t want to be too much or push people away.  You wanted to fit in.  You wanted people to like you.  You wanted to make a good impression.  You wanted to be wanted.  So you could feel healed.

So for years, you sacrificed yourself for the sake of making other people happy.  And for years, you suffered.

But you’re tired of suffering, and you’re done shrinking.  Right?  Good!

It’s not your job to change who you are in order to become someone else’s idea of a worthwhile human being.  You are worth YOUR while.  Not because other people think you are, but because you are breathing your own air, and therefore you matter.  Your thoughts matter.  Your feelings matter.  Your voice matters.  And with or without anyone’s approval or permission, you must be who you are and live your truth.  Even if it makes people turn their heads.  Even if it makes them uncomfortable.  Even if they choose to leave.

You may have been broken down by adversity, but YOU are not broken.  So don’t let others convince you otherwise.

Heal yourself by refusing to shrink.

Compromise.

#hwtujuibado If you cannot get what you love out of this life, then learn to love and cherish the things that have been handed to you, because they are there and they are yours, don't chase the impossible, if you can't be who you want to be in life then learn to be the things you're not, and if you can't get what you need from life then learn to need the things that stop you from dreaming, but by all means necessary keep moving on, and should the universe turn its back on you then do the same, don't let the universe get the best of you, just COMPROMISE. Our goal this year, after many years now, is to turn setbacks into comebacks, journey with Me as we re write our fates.

A Little Vacation In Morogoro. The Uluguru Mountains 🌎🏔

The view of the Uluguru Mountains is incredible. They give you this 'urge' to go on an adventure through them (or at least they did to me 😌).   So I took a trip to Morogoro for the new year. And I had the best time of my life. Of all the things I set my eyes on, the Uluguru mountains fascinated me the most, I mean there's no way you could miss them, they are all over the place. :D   It was surprising to know that from these mountains, flowed a stream of hot water, hot enough to boil an egg good enough to eat. Talk about wonders of the world! Sadly I did not get an opportunity to climb them, but I got pretty close to see them. I hope next I will be lucky. Here is a link for full detailed info of the mountain    The mountains are named after the Luguru Tribe 50 villages touch the forest boundary and over 151,000 people are found within the mountain area. On the main Uluguru range, 50 villages touch the forest boundary and over 151,000 people are fo...

Become A Man Of Standards.

The reason a real man treats himself and others with respect is because he has standards. Not just standards, but HIGH STANDARDS. He sets the bar high. He has a clear line drawn on what is and isn’t acceptable. He’s clear on how he treats himself, women, and how those around him treat him. He doesn’t accept any bullshit from himself, women, or those around him. He knows what he wants and doesn’t want in his life and he sticks to it. Real men never brag no matter how great their life is. They let their actions speak for them. Real men never show off. They let their life speak for them. Real men are mature. Real men are classy. A man with class walks, talks, and holds himself with class and tact. He listens when others speak and doesn’t try to talk over them. He has manners and knows how to conduct himself.
