On the other hand, Ruto who never gives up easily had morale, trying to cheer up a then drunkard friend.
RUTO: My friend, Get up let's go start our campaigns we are going to defeat them again.. wembe ni Ule Ule!
UHURU: "Yaanii Maraga ame nullify my victory? Yangu Mimi Uhuru? Miiimi?...Ata hiyo kiti ikae! wacha niende Ichaweri Kwa Mamii".. waiter Ongeza glass!!!
RUTO: "Buana, How can you give up after WINNING BIG?"
UHURU: Eh Gikombe...Eh Gikombe...Eh Gikombe...
And that is the moment Doyen thought of massaging Kamwana's cheeks to get him back to his senses.🤣🤣
However, Ruto strongly opposed this defeatist stance. He argued that abandoning the race would invalidate the millions of votes they had painstakingly secured through intense campaigning. Frustrated by the President's willingness to give up, Ruto admitted in a leaked July 2022 audio recording that he came close to slapping his boss out of sheer exasperation. If not for Ruto pushing back Uhuru, Raila angekua president hivo tu😂💯

The first idea that changes everything:
“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
You don’t control what happens.
You control how you respond to it.
That sounds simple.
But actually living by it changes everything

Major cheat code for life: Get organized. Just get your sh*t together, really. Stop creating emergencies for yourself by being all over the place. Pick a direction. Focus. Lock in. Discipline doesn't remove every problem, but it prevents a shocking number of avoidable ones.
You don't have to be extremely handsome to trigger desire. You don't have to be rich to be respected. Once you respect yourself enough to want the best for yourself, the rest is secondary. Don't recite values, become the values. Every man is worthy if they keep trying!
A friend I'd not spoken to in almost 4 years called. We talked & laughed for over 30 minutes. Said we needed to grab a meal soon. Then towards the end he asked; "Before I forget... how did you get over your heartbreak back then?"
That's how I discovered he was getting divorced.
Men,
Modern men don't know the difference between,
"Love" and "Fall in love"
The first one is from a position of strength and abundance, the second is from a position of weakness, scarcity and neediness.
Even the Holy Bible says,
"A man should love a woman," not "A man shall fall in love."
Epehesians 5:25;
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church.
You only love a woman if you are COMPLETE, CONSCIOUS and have an abundant, independent self.
That is why Ephesians 5:28 says:
"He who loves his wife loves himself."
Not he who falls in love, is loved back by the wife.
You love yourself first.
You build an independent empire.
You don't depend on a woman for the validation of your self-worth.
Don't fall in love. You will suffer.

Regardless of how accomplished they are, I hope you know that people’s opinions are not facts. Your life is unique and you’re free to question or discard what doesn’t fit into it.
