HOW TO INCREASE YOUR AURA
You don't need to be the loudest person in the room.
You need to be the person everyone notices without trying.
1. Talk less.
Silence makes people pay attention when you finally speak.
2. Stop announcing your plans.
Build quietly. Reveal the results.
3. Stop chasing approval.
Not everyone needs to like you.
4. Put your phone away.
Nothing says “I don't care” like checking notifications while someone is talking.
5. Walk with purpose.
Don't rush. Don't drag your feet. Move like you know where you're going.
6. Hold eye contact.
Look at people when they speak. Look away naturally. Don't stare them down.
7. Master your facial expressions.
You don't need to react to everything.
8. Stop oversharing.
Your life doesn't need a live commentary.
9. Be punctual.
Being late isn't a personality trait.
10. Keep your word.
A person who consistently does what they said becomes hard to ignore.
11. Don't gossip.
If you talk about everyone behind their back, people know you'll eventually talk about them.
12. Listen more.
Being genuinely heard is rare.
13. Speak slowly.
Rushing your words can make you look uncertain.
14. Keep good posture.
Shoulders back. Head up. Relaxed body.
15. Dress clean.
You don't need designer clothes. You need standards.
16. Stop laughing at everything.
You don't have to perform for acceptance.
17. Give a firm handshake.
Then let go. No need to crush someone's hand.
18. Stand when greeting someone.
Small gestures reveal how you were raised.
19. Don't fidget.
Stillness communicates confidence.
20. Return what you borrow better than you received it.
Respect is remembered.
21. Learn to say no.
Boundaries create self-respect.
22. Control your emotions.
Anyone can be calm when life is easy.
23. Take care of your body.
Fitness changes your posture, energy and presence.
24. Read.
A sharp mind gives you something better than an intimidating appearance.
25. Be grateful.
Confidence without humility becomes arrogance.
26. Don't chase attention.
Build a life that naturally commands it.
27. Know when to leave.
You don't need to prove your worth to people who don't value you.
28. Keep some things private.
Mystery isn't pretending to be important. It's knowing what doesn't need to be shared.
29. Become competent.
Real aura comes from knowing you can handle yourself.
30. Stop trying to have an aura.
That's the biggest rule.
Schools used to have debates every Wednesday during club meetings:
"Rural life is better than urban life."
"Day schools are better than boarding schools."
"The government is better than the opposition."
"Mr Speaker, Sir, I urge my opponents to cross the floor."
These debates were simulating parliamentary debates.
This taught students,
• Public speaking skills.
• Communication skills.
• Negotiation skills.
• Critical thinking skills.
In addition, these school debates, coupled with the GHC subject, were a form of civic education.
But the education system destroyed these activities because it created students who were politically conscious and enlightened.
The system wants you to remain ignorant so that it can control you.
Bring the school debates back!
@AyubAbdikadir@KoinangeJeff@citizentvkenya If Baba Raila was to wake up from the dead, he would be shocked what kind of friends he trusted with his political wizardly. The ODM NEC is classic examples of leaders who cannot stand intelligent Men. #JKLive Even fools grow old.
You don’t escape poverty by prayer alone, you escape it by changing standards, conversations and access. Small circles, strong capacity, zero noise. This year avoid friendship that doesn't add any value to your life.
Take your life seriously.
A man's life is difficult.
If you want to know,
• Lose a job
• Go to prison
• Get bedridden
All those people around you will flee and leave you at your rock bottom.
So, don't entertain chaotic boys and jokers around your mission.
Don't compromise your mission to please jokers.
They will call you names but remain focused and strict with your mission.
Your mission is your anchor, value it.
It is the only thing that stands between you and FREEDOM.
Men,
10 reasons why your life appears boring, with low energy and stagnant:
• You don't sit or walk in the sun
• You don't exercise
• You don't meditate
• You postpone goals and tasks
• You eat garbage food
• You have no hobbies or talents
• You are addicted to social media slop
•.You don't manage your time well
• Your sleep pattern is poor
• You are always complaining, whining and blaming others but yourself
Fix these and see how you will begin attracting positive influence in your life.
Or,
Remain stagnant and perish.

Men,
Don't argue with people especially disrespectful ones,
Don't write long paragraphs on emails or WhatsApp attempting to argue or convince anyone,
Back and forth arguments will poison you, anger you and ruin your mental state.
GUARD YOUR MENTAL FRAME
#MasculinitySaturday
Men,
If the landlord of your business wakes up and says,
"Leave my premises,"
Just tell him "Thank you," then pack and leave quietly.
Don't argue. Don't engage in court fights.
It is his premise.
He could be jealous that your business is flourishing, or has found a wealthier tenant, or just wants to frustrate you.
Leave. You will succeed elsewhere.
GUARD YOUR MENTAL FRAME.
#MasculinitySaturday
Men,
Remember
There will always be a MAN who is
• Smarter than you
• Fitter than you
• Wealthier than you
Therefore, don't lose sleep comparing,
The only man you should compare yourself with is the man you were yesterday
GUARD YOUR MENTAL FRAME
#MasculinitySaturday
Men,
Also,
Don't lose sleep because of people who flaunt money, luxury and pomposity on social media,
Most are crooks, criminals and scoundrels,
They display opulence to ensnare you, and use you in their crookery, and you will find yourself in prison.
A devout, disciplined and determined man can't be seeking validation from strangers. He has self-enrichment.
You can't be an overnight billionaire,
Build your value brick by brick,
Be proud of your sincerity,
GUARD YOUR MENTAL FRAME
#MasculinitySaturday
Men,
A man finds healing when in pain,
A man becomes organized when in disorder,
Don't commit suicide because of discomfort,
The discomfort you are avoiding is where your growth begins,
Face the pain and fight it off.
GUARD YOUR MENTAL FRAME
#MasculinitySaturday
Men,
Finally,
Don't waste time explaining yourself,
People who have chosen to misinterpret you won't choose to understand you whether you use
• Bargraphs
• Pictographs
• Pie charts
Those who understand, already understood
GUARD YOUR MENTAL FRAME
#MasculinitySaturday
Men,
November is Men's Mental Health Month,
In today's lessons on #MasculinitySaturday, I will teach you
• the dos
• the don'ts
— to avoid plunging yourself into a mental catastrophe.
Mental depression is a result of your consistent choices and habits.
@gabrieloguda@rigathi Enyewe my snr lacks a sense of humor, Riggy connotations are a mockery to Baba who purport to revere. Snr stop this dry sense of humor until Baba rests.
