Learn to be more human again.

#hwtujuibado

👋 | Hello everyone.

 My hopes.... life's treating you just the same way you treat it.
My eyes are on social media today...and with this 'short' article, 

I hope to open your eyes too on some impeccable reality about it. 



| We think we need all those text messages, social updates, memes, and perfect Instagram pics !

If it entertains you now but will hurt or bore you someday, it’s a distraction.  Don’t settle.  Don’t exchange what you want most for what you kind of want at the moment.  Study your habits.  Figure out where your time goes, and remove distractions.  It’s time to focus on what matters.
A good place to start?
Learn to be more human again.  Don’t avoid eye contact.  Don’t hide behind gadgets.  Smile often.  Ask about people’s stories.  Listen.  You can’t connect with anyone, including yourself, unless you are undistracted and present.  And you can’t be either of the two when you’re Facebooking, Instagramming or Snapchatting your life away.  You just can’t!
If you are constantly attached to your smartphone and only listening with your ears as your eyes check for the next social update, you are ripping yourself off of actually experiencing real relationships and real life.  The same is true for texting too.  Yes, someday you will be slapped with the reality of a missed MEMORY being far more unsettling than a missed TEXT!
Let this be your wake-up call!  Too often we choose to distract ourselves with gadgets and news and videos and music and memes, 24/7, just to stimulate ourselves.  It’s like second nature to us—we’re so used to feeling like the present moment isn’t worthy of our full presence.  And this mindset of dissatisfaction and distraction—of reality never being enough for us – trickles into every facet of our lives…
  • We are continuously thinking about what’s to come, as if it’s not enough to appreciate what we have right now.
  • We sit down to relax for a moment and then immediately feel the urge to read something on our phones, as if relaxing for a moment isn’t enough.
  • We procrastinate when it’s time to work, choosing more distractions, as if the process of doing good work isn’t enough for us.
  • We get annoyed with people when they fail to live up to our expectations, as if the reality of who they are isn’t enough for us.
  • We resist changes in our lives, in our relationships, and in our careers, because the reality feels like it’s not enough.
  • We reject situations, people, and even ourselves, because we feel like none of it is enough for us right now.
But what if we did the opposite?
What if we accepted this moment, and everything and everyone in it (including ourselves), as exactly enough?
What if we admitted that life is slipping away right now, and saw the fleeting time we have as enough, without needing to share it on social media or capture it or filter it in any way?
What if we accepted the “bad” with the good, the letdowns with the lessons, the annoying with the beautiful, the anxiety with the opportunity, as part of a package deal that this moment alone is offering us?
What if we paused right now, and saw everything with perfect clarity and no distractions?
Keep thinking about it…
Would we have more beautiful stories to cherish and share?
I think we would.
And thus, I think now is the best time to pay attention.
Now is the best time to look around and be grateful—for our health, our homes, our families, our friends, and our momentary opportunities.
Nothing else will matter as much when we look back someday.

Good Luck 💪

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.
