You cannot rush life. Things happen when they are supposed to happen. Your role is to show up everyday and give it your best. Your best will not be the same everyday. There are days you’ll be motivated and some you’ll feel defeated. And such is life! Keep keeping on!
You gotta book holidays, lunches, coffee dates in advance. So that when work gets busy this year, you’ve already made plans to rest, to breathe and to restore your soul. These plans are a non-negotiable!
In Dholuo, we love saying “Ngima ema duong.”
It means that the gift of life is greater than anything else. It implies that as long as there’s life, we can do anything.
That as long as you’re alive, there’s room to try again. And again.
Thinking about it always makes me smile.
