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...

#hwtujuibado Life can be hectic; sometimes chaos surrounds us in every imaginable direction. But just because the world around us is in disarray, doesn’t mean the world within us has to be too. That’s right, I’m saying there’s a way to stay sane in insane times. I’m saying you can get rid of all the insanity inside you created by others, the past, and uncontrollable events… Just by being a simple witness of your thoughts. It’s about sitting silently, and witnessing the thoughts passing through you. Just witnessing at first, not interfering and not even judging, because by judging too rapidly you have lost the pure witness. The moment you rush to say, “this is good” or “this is bad,” you have already jumped head first into the chaos. It takes a little time to create a gap between the witnessing of thoughts and your reaction to them. Once the gap is there, though, you are in for a great surprise – that you are not the thoughts themselves, nor the chaos influencing them. ...

If you are struggling right now, you’ve got this! No matter your circumstances,  you always have what you need to take the next smallest step . Or as Epicurus so profoundly said, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” Be mindful.  Be present. Keep going. One day at a time, one small step at a time.

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 peopl...

"Today, I just want to thank God for adding another year to my life. Happy birthday to me." >>|The bottom line is that when you try to control too much, you enjoy too little. Sometimes you just need to let go, relax, take a deep breath and love what is. Happy Birthday King™

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.
