Some of Wanjala's reflections about life

ITS ME...!!

Someone is boring me? I think it is me.

Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

I shut my eyes in order to see.

Self confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.

I do not love because the other is beautiful/ handsome but rather, the other is beautiful/ handscome because I love him/ her.

Deeds not only words shall speak me.

Be cool when you need to take a tough decision in your life.

Failure is an event and not a person.

If we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.

REFLECTION SPEAKING...

Sit in silence for some minutes concentrating on a particular reflection each day.

When you wake up in the morning, complete the following statement: "MY PURPOSE is to..................................................................... today."

Live with 3E's i.e. Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy and 3F's i.e. Faith, Family and Friends.

Dream more while you are awake.

Try to make atleast 3 people smile.

Remember that life is a school and you are here to learn, pass all your tests, problems are simply part of the curriculum that appears and fades away like the algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

Smile and laugh more; it will keep the energy vampires away.

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

Make peace with your past, so it won't mess up the present.

Do not ever do something that will make you unhappy.

Don't compare your life to others; you have no idea what their journey is all about.

You are an original copy and a unique person with your own way unique way of doing things, thinking and your own way of being.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Be responsible for others, but more with yourself.

Forgive everyone for everything.

What other people think of you is none of your bussiness. Your good intention is enough.

Time and openness heals almost everything. Give time time.

Do not project the things that are or that are not. I am the projector, the determinant, the driver of my life.

If you think you can, you can. If you think you cannot, you are right (that you cannot).

However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Your job won't take care you when you don't feel fine; your friends will. Stay in touch.

Get rid of everything that isn't useful on your journey of life.

The best is already here now and yet to come; don't be distracted - keep focused towards the good.

Do the right thing with all your convinction - your heart, mind and body. Get involved.

Call your family and your friends often.

Each time before you god bed, complete the following statement: "I AM THANKFUL TO GOD FOR.................................." Today, I ACCOMPLISHED....................................

Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed; enjoy the ride and the journey.

DON'T LET GO OF HOPE

Hope gives you the strength to keep going when you feel like giving up.

Don't ever quit believing in yourself.

As long as you believe you can, you will have a reason for trying.

Don't let anyone hold your happiness in their hands; hold it in your own, so it will always be within your reach.

Don't measure success or failure bymaterial wealth, but by how you feel.

Our feelings determine the riches in our lives.

Don't let bad moments overcome you.

Be patient, and they will pass.

Don't hesitate to reach out for help; we allneed it from time to time.

Don't run away from Love, but towards love; because it is our deepest joy.

Don't wait for what you want to come to you.

Go after it with all that you are; knowing that life will meet you half way.

Don't feel like you've lost when plans and dreams fall short of your hopes.

Anytime you learn something new about yourself, or about life, you have progressed.

Don't do anything that takes away from your self-respect.

Feeling good about yourself is essential to feeling good about life.

Don't ever forget how to laugh or be tooproud to cry.

It is by doing both that we livelife to the fullest.

PEACE WITHIN...

May today there be peace within you.


May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.


May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.


May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.


May you be content knowing that you are a child of God.


Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, to dance, and to bask in His Son.


He is there for each and every one of you.

STEP BY STEP...

Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways. Some are spent searching for love, peace, and harmony. Others are spent surviving day by day.


But there is no greater moment than when we find that life, with all it's joys and sorrows, is meant to be lived one day at a time.

It's in this knowledge that we discover the most wonderful truth of all.
Whether we live in a forty-room mansion, surrounded by servants and wealth, or find it a struggle to manage the rent month to month, we have it within our power to be fully satisfied and live a life with true meaning.


One day at a time - we have that ability, through cherishing each moment and rejoicing in each dream. We can experience each day anew, and with this fresh start we have what it takes to make all our dreams come true. Each day is new, and living one day at a time enables us to truly enjoy life and live it to the fullest.
