I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.
A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.
The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.
And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.
It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
It looks like Professor Musyimi existed as an internal object in Rose Mulwa’s head and since she couldn’t control him after the divorce she decided him and his new wife should not exist. Dark triad crime scene…
Good morning! Once you discover your inner piece, those things that used to drain the energy out of you become become just like any other normal thing... You reach a point in life, you don't want drama, you don't want baseless blames, you don't retaliate to foolish arguments, just peace. And that irritates those humans who want you to react, but you would rather choose to stay away and maintain your sanity than around around people who are constantly miserable and somehow want you to drown with them. 🤣. Have a beautiful day ahead.
If you ever see your other friends winning, please dap them up without placing yourself as the hero when they were down. Allow your friends to remind everyone how you came through for them, don’t see them holding Ws and try to humble them. It looks like you’re shocked they flew without your permission
Seeing how hard your Mama Fua works then walking past women younger than her on the street with kids on a school weekday, begging you to give them money just because they are moms really radicalizes you into silence & tsks.
The 5 percenters that do have to deal with being heckled by the 95% about how they fumbled & someone else is icing the cake they baked bro. If you don’t have self-respect, solo hobbies or the mentality to survive the smear campaign that comes after, just allow her to erode your conscience how the men that die at 25 but only get buried at 75 allow it. 👍🏾
“Uliomoka ukatusahau’ is a guilt trip. I didn’t leave because I became better. I left because of how I was treated when I had nothing. But now when I finally have the freedom to walk away I am the bad person? Mjidishi btw
@BonesawMD Nothing wrong about being one thing with family, one thing with friends, and one thing with coworkers (for example). It has nothing to do with authenticity. In fact, it’s actually nice to bring out different parts of you next to different people.
My worst nightmare is inviting someone who doesn’t know when to go home, to my house. Like… I want to work without feeling like I’m ignoring you or I need to believe you have things to do & you’re someone important to other people too. 😭
I am chef-resistant. I double down on the fact that if you have made your own living space a haven & you're comfortable staying with your own thoughts you'll never spend more than a weekend at anyone's unless you've reached a place you want to marry them & you wanna move in.
I go for vacays with anyone I wanna spend more than 3 days with. It's a neutral space & I don't have to worry about cleaning & eating logistics.
Rev. Canon Evans Omollo reveals that the man who was arrested at All Saints Cathedral on Friday was released yesterday on instruction that the matter needs to be "k1lled" and the 2 people whose phones were stolen and went to report were reimbursed Ksh 24,000 to go replace with new ones and told to remain silent. 🤔
@_stayliquidd 1. Compatibility is not a fixed, unchanging quality. Who you were on day one is not the exact same person 4 yrs later. They may have evolved into polar opposite versions. 2. If 4yrs is an unacceptable amount of time, she could have exercised her own agency and left at year 2.
Judiciary always reminds us lawyers, never ever promise your client a certain outcome in cases. Just tell the client whether they have a good case, bad case or 50/50 case.
What could be obvious to you as a lawyer may not be obvious to the person making the decision.
The Gachagua judgment is a political decision at best as it is legally absurd. The Constitution expressly provides that any decision in violation of rights void. The effect of impeachment is that the person cannot hold public office. So how does a decision in violation of rights for which the Court has awarded damages operate as a bar to running for office. Those are judicial gymnastics that reflect a captured court
