Facing Fear



"Everything you have ever wanted, is sitting on the other side of fear."

Fear keeps us in the background. It convinces us we can never accomplish our dreams, tells us to keep quiet, and separates us from the ones we love. Fear has an unparalleled ability to freeze us in our tracks, and limit what we are willing to try. Fear makes us lead a smaller life.


  • The things that we are afraid of may be different, but our reactions to fear are usually the same – our palms sweat, our mouths get dry, our stomachs churn — and we would do anything, make any sacrifice, just to make it go away. How many times have you turned away from an opportunity or even a relationship because you were too afraid to go for it?

Fear is not a bad thing. It exists for our protection as an early warning signal. But there is a big difference between the healthy fear that tells us to step away from the edge of a cliff and a constant fear that keeps us from living our life.



All fears, no matter how big or small, are worse when we face them alone. Find a good friend to share your fears with. We tend to resist admitting our fears because we are afraid that the person will think less of us, that they will laugh, or make things worse. Find someone you can trust, possibly a counselor, maybe a relative or trusted friend and share what’s bothering you. They may be able to help you see what you’re afraid of in a new light, and they will be there to stand by you and encourage you as you take steps to face your fears.

  • In times of crisis, spiritual truths that are consistent in any circumstances are a great comfort. They give us safety and familiarity and, more importantly, they give us a reason to hope. If you do not have a spiritual life or faith consider talking to a pastor or read the Bible. The book of Psalms in particular speaks to people that are facing difficulties.

In a nut shell, let me leave you with a line to ponder.
You probably may have came across it somewhere,
'fear, is a total waste of time. All it does is steal your joy and keep you busy doing nothing.'

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.
