HOW TO KNOW YOU WALK A RARE PATH
1. Loneliness has followed you since early days
Even surrounded by people, you often felt apart—watching rather than blending in.
That solitude was never rejection. It was space.
Space for depth to grow where noise could not reach.
2. Childhood ended sooner than it should have
While others were learning how to play, you were learning how to endure.
Life demanded responsibility before you felt ready.
Hard moments shaped you into someone observant, resilient, and awake.
3. Without effort, you stir reactions in others
Your energy reveals truths people would rather ignore.
Some respond with judgment, others with distance.
It is not you they resist—it is what your presence awakens in them.
4. Trust has been broken more than once
Those you opened your heart to did not always honor it.
Each betrayal carved wisdom into your spirit.
You are learning to see clearly, not to harden.
5. You carry a quiet inner knowing
There are things you understand without explanation.
Your instincts speak before words arrive.
You have learned to listen—and they rarely mislead you.
6. Your life moves in cycles of collapse and renewal
Just when things seem stable, they fall apart.
And then—something stronger, truer, more aligned emerges.
You have learned that endings are not failures, but thresholds.
7. Even in confusion, you are not abandoned
When the path disappears, guidance appears in unexpected ways.
Coincidences align. Help arrives late—but always on time.
You are held, even when you feel lost.
8. The conventional route never felt like home
Following the crowd drains you.
Your soul resists boxed expectations and scripted lives.
You are here to carve a path, not borrow one.
9. You love gently, yet you endure fiercely
Your heart feels everything—joy, grief, longing.
Still, you rise again and again.
Sensitivity did not weaken you; it deepened your strength.
10. Your silence is often misunderstood
People mistake your calm for submission, your restraint for emptiness.
But in quiet moments, your power gathers.
You grow strongest where others speak the loudest.
11. You questioned life earlier than most
You wondered about meaning, purpose, God, and truth
while others were distracted by surface things.
Depth found you young—and never left.
12. You are asked to wait longer than seems fair
Doors close. Progress slows. Seasons feel hidden.
But what is being prepared for you carries weight.
And heavy callings require deep foundations.
Those meant to carry light are often shaped away from the crowd.
They are refined in solitude
long before they are understood in the open.
Not everyone will see it.
But those who do—will recognize it instantly.
A decade after sitting in those Strathmore classrooms, I found myself back there, this time as the lecturer. 🎓 I've put together some reflections here: https://t.co/Q0pfXIHCVH via @LinkedIn
THREAD: LAPSSET in 60 seconds 🧵
1. LAPSSET is NOT on Lamu Island. It’s on the LAMU MAINLAND.
2. It’s a corridor: Port + Road + Railway + Pipeline + Refinery
3. Countries involved: Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan
4. Goal: Jobs, trade, fuel security
Most Kenyans have heard of it but ignored, with a refinery in lamu that's a game changer.
He's going to suck up every drop of Somalia's oil.
Few understand how transformative this will be for Kenya and the region and Lamu.
The people of Lamu County will eventually be some of the richest in the land.
If China moved from cottage society, underdeveloped, broken system to a first world powerhouse with the best tech and puplic goods what is stopping Africa countries to study and copy the development blue print of the legendary Deng, Mao Zedong and Xi jinping?
We can actualize the dream!
In 6–12 months, Somali oil will be the preferred energy source in Kenya.
Analysts are completely sleeping on why Somalia joined the EAC.
Kenya and Tanzania will be the first two nations to sign major petroleum supply and take-or-pay agreements with them.
This is just preliminary and Dangote & Ruto are preparing the ground work.
Welcome to African solutions to African Problems.
Let Lamu be busy. Port, Refinery will really open up Lamu, Tana River and possibly Garissa Counties. We might even be able to deal with the security issues as a byproduct.
Kenya or Tanzania? After months of speculation, Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has finally chosen Kenya's coastal town of Lamu as the site for his multi-billion-dollar oil refinery for East Africa. Here's why
