The movie that is in our brains to stay. The fight for freedom. The drive to get freedom. A friend of mine just started with the part of Our Father and I just couldn't help but sing along. THAT AND MANY OTHER SONGS from the movie. I would have probably acted for free in this movie. The kind that makes a difference. The kind of movie that makes you sing. To movies with an impact...

20 Ways We complicate life

1. We procrastinate. Projects pile up, certain tasks are constantly at the top of our to-do list, emails and text messages go unanswered, and people want our attention. Nothing can clutter our minds more than things that go undone. When we don’t do the things we should at the times we know we should do them, we get overwhelmed. Being overwhelmed often leads to projects never being completed because we feel like we will never catch up. Procrastination is complication. Our life will love us forever if we start doing things  now. 2. We worry. Worry is the mother of a complicated life. The more we worry, the more problems don’t get resolved. Many times, we aren’t even facing  real  problems, just issues we’ve concocted in our minds. Yet we still worry. Worrying robs us of our joy, steals our peace of mind, and ruins our lives. A problem is no greater than the power you give it. The energy we spend on our problems can be energy well-spent on finding solu...

12 Female Stars that drive the hottest cars.

Image
Rich people and pricey cars – it’s a match made in heaven. Women and cars – eh, not the greatest combination. Celebrity women and cars – still not pleasurable, but with more money involved. Even though you might not like it, famous rich girls and luxurious cars are a reality, and when we say luxurious, we mean cars-that-cost-more-than-your-life luxurious. Why? Well, simply because they can. It’s no secret that women love to accessorize, and bada** cars are the ultimate accessory. Never mind the big mansions, private islands, insane parties and flashy clothes, because nothing says BALLER more than a nice whip. But let’s not be too harsh on these ladies because if you were lucky enough to be in their position, you’d probably do the same. Most of them earned their cash fair and square, so they have all the rights to splurge. It’s not their fault that Ford Focus is the best you can do, and it’s not your fault if you feel bad about it. Life isn’t fair folk...

Who cares about street children? You should! (By; Julius P. Kessy)

Image
  The street is not a place for any child to call home. In my primary school life I played to "AGAPE" a street children football club in Dodoma the capital of Tanzania. This was 11 years ago, many children dreamt of being super heroes to save those in need and make incredible difference.  As I today write on the 6th International Day for Street Children (IDSC) the name "Street children" itself, Swahili word "Watoto wa mitaani" or "Chokoraa" in Kenya tends to give umbrage to them. I therefore ask you to pay apt attention to "IDENTITY", this year's theme.  How do the homeless children speak of themselves paints a picture of the lives they wish. Also, public's perception of, and reaction to, street children is a very important aspect of their lives in terms of the impediments they face once attempting to defend legal documents like birth certificates or ID cards so that their rights for instance education and health care or fo...

10 Small Thoughtful Habits That Tell He Is A Man Worth Marrying

Marriage is a major decision and you want to make sure the man you are wanting to marry has some good thoughtful habits. This article will discuss 10 thoughtful habits to look for before marrying your man. Please add a few more of your own in the comment section below. 1. He starts the day by giving you a kiss . Everyday is a new beginning, he starts his by always giving you a good morning kiss. This is one of the best and simplest ways to know he is consistent, plus it gets you in great mood to start your day. 2. He would rather listen than talk . After a long, short, bad or good day, he is ready to hear about your day. He patiently waits until you finish and supports whatever decision you had made for the day. He basically has your back 100% – just like you have his.   <img src="http://cdn-media-1.lifehack.org/wp-content/files/2015/10/20071617/Signs-That-Youre-Not-Going-To-Have-A-Future-With-Such-Partner-370x208.jpg" width="370" height="208...

7 Ways Forgiveness Frees You

It has been said that forgiveness is never free. Someone has paid the price in some way. So how can you attain freedom through forgiveness? Well, yes, you’ve guessed it. You have probably paid the price. But the freedom you will attain through forgiveness far exceeds the pain, anguish, suffering, struggle, resentment  or angst you are suffering or have suffered. It seems hard to believe this works, but it is quite true. When you have been hurt, purposefully or not, that pain is an emotionally heavy burden. If you allow yourself to hang onto it and keep lamenting over it, you only recirculate that negative energy and pain with which it was created. It will become a physical and emotional burden, a heavy backpack weighing you down. Physiologically and biochemically you will just keep recreating a circular pattern of pain and hurt within your body. But there is an escape route..if and only if you desire it, you will create it meaningfully and you will live it. It’s called fo...

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT

Most people have been creating obstacles for themselves in their heads... We are all created by God and we have our differences. The straights and others. The special groups which I hate crediting or stating it. (It creates a difference among people) Though rationally speaking, We are all equal and it is by our minds and choosing the path of success and desiring it. I know a blind person that is widely acknowledged for his work as a tailor. He did not let his lack of seeing through the human context blind his dreams. He chose to see through his mind and be determined. He even sew a shirt for the 4th Phase president of Tanzania which was remarkable. A 12 year old kid Sparsh Shah has gone sensational through his cover song of 'Not Afraid' by Eminem. He has a dream of ever meeting Eminem which I believe will happen anytime soon. WHY? Cause he is determined. Yet, a person like you and me are still waiting for the government or NGOs to make a difference to our lives. Yo...
