"Though a righteous person falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will stumble into ruin." - Proverbs 24:16

Generally in life the highest performing groups or indivuals have one common denominator, THEY JUST DO NOT STOP. And the opposite is completely accurate the poorest performers also have one thing in common, THEY JUST STOP. They stop believing and they stop trying, they simply stop trying to improve.

What defines us in the end is not how many times we fall or struggle but what we choose to do after we fall. Some of us fall down and stay down, they let their past mistakes and shortfalls define them. Winners are winners not because of how many times they fell but because of how many times they got up and tried again. All the greatest inventors in history just refused to accept failure, they saw it as a stepping stone. Once you see past mistakes and failures and begin to view them as something to learn from you will begin to see them in a different light. From the light bulb to the Tesla, it might have not worked the first time but they just didn't stop till it worked. Now imagine how the world would be if all the greatest inventors fell down 7 times and decided to stay down forever... Very different and very DARK(Because there would be no electricity, no light bulb.. LOL)

How many of us are living our life defined by what went wrong in our past?

Throngs of people live this way, but just because many do it, it doesn't mean it is right. Just because many people do not live their lives to the fullest doesn't mean it is right. The devil comes to steal and to rob, to convince us we are not good enough and we will never be. This is when we give up, once we start believing the lies of the devil. Unfortunately the devil also works through people, the very same people who discourage you when you try to get up and do something for yourself.

I have met many people who just want to convince me to let it all go, and give up before I embarrass myself again and again.. They tell me this because they want me to live life on their level, where dreams never come true and life is just unfair. I know many subscribe to this philosophy, but I refuse to join that group. And if any of you who were trying to get me to join the "quitters club" are reading this, Give my vacant space to someone else. Andizi! Not today and definitely not ever.

How many millionaires do you personally know?

Is the number of millionaires you know a true reflection of the potential of all the people in the world? Or is it a reflection of how many people gave up too soon. I use the millionaire question because I know very well that most of us want to have large amounts of money so we can live life on our terms and have financial freedom. But still very few of us seem to reach this milestone and my main  question to you is why we don't become millionaires? Is it because we don't want a million or we give up our persuit of wealth?

All of us have ideas that would make us wealthy but since nobody encourages us to get up when we fall, we just never get there.Today I want to remind you that you are capable and strong. Anything you put your mind on you can achieve as long as you do not give up. Also I want to remind you that it is all up to you , nobody has the power to stop you (unless you give it to them).

In essence my message is even though you will fall just quickly get up, analyze the situation to figure out why you fell then make the neccesary improvements..
Lastly there is Power in making a choice, life give us choices everyday. Decide today that you will not quit, no matter the circumstance. You will learn from every situation and from every fall.

Imagine You Are A Success

Psychology says that we are controlled by what we think, believe or imagine more than any other factor. Our beliefs control everything we do, If we believed (or rather imagined) that wearing clothes was useless, we would all be walking around naked. It is very imperative that we understand that we control our lives through the type of thoughts we choose to hold in our minds. Take the person who jumps in front of a speeding car on the highway(commits suicide), in their mind their action is justified and probably seen as necessary hence it is carried out. Now that i have laid my foundation... In his book Psychocybernetics, Maxwell Maltz says "Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the e result of our own images and beliefs gives us the lever that psychology has always needed for changing personality.Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to "practice" new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do.  This is possible because again—your nervous sy...

The Unwritten Rules of Africa: Navigating a Complex Identity (Economics part 1)

The economic life of the African continent is shaped by a complex mix of historical events and current realities. To truly understand it, we must examine the deep-rooted challenges and psychological patterns that emerged from centuries of outside control and resource extraction. A History of Economic Struggle The rule of economic struggle is deeply rooted in a colonial history of dependency. Foreign powers didn't just come to trade; they methodically took apart existing African economies. They dismissed local practices as "outdated" and forced new systems upon the people. This historical redirection of resources created a fundamental weakness, turning the continent into a mere supplier of raw materials. All the infrastructure they built, like railways and ports, was primarily designed to transport these resources from inland to the coast for export. This framework created an economic gap and a dependency that has continued long after African nations gained their independe...

A Transformed Mind

Many of us are rigid in thought hence we are stagnant in life. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds - our thought patterns (perceptions, beliefs..) One of my prayers these days is "God transform my mind". That is because i am well aware that if my mind is transformed, my life will be transformed. Our thoughts are often revealed in our actions. I am writing this right now because an idea came into my mind and i thought it was a great idea to express my revelation about my life in this manner. The action is preceded by thought. The word transformation is a compound word - transition & form or "formation". A transition takes time so it is imperative that we are patient and recognize that it will take time for our minds to be transformed. Transformation is a process often filled with pain and fear. That does not mean we must not persue change but bear in mind that it will be challenging.  Behaviors and/or habits lead to results but we often ...
