Ok, so every now and then, i’m minding my own business doing my reading when I come across something that completely blows my mind. This article is one of those things. It’s by Dan Miller of 48days to the work you love and No More Mondays fame and it’s all about the options we miss out on in life because we don’t think creatively. I don’t want to ruin it with my blithering so just read and be blessed.
Here’s an example of how people are sitting on top of new kinds of opportunities without seeing them. On a recent radio interview we had a lady caller who had been teaching at a Christian school. She loved being able to motivate and inspire the students – and the philosophy of the school aligned with her personal values. But she was being paid a meager salary and felt the financial strain at home. So she quit that job and took a position as director of a day care facility. She doubled her salary – but was confronted with business values that conflicted with her own. She found non-supportive, critical parents and general tension in much of what she tried to do. Her question for

Letting life just happen to you and push you around isn’t my idea of fun. That has been the description of my last 30 years.How many times have you asked yourself that proverbial question “I wonder where I’ll be/ who I’ll be in 10years?” Well I now understand that unless you decide where or who you want to be in the future, you’re very likely to be disappointed where you end up. So in that light, I’ve been working on my goals and dreams lately and I thought I’d share what is popularly known as “the bucket list”; a list of things I want to do or experience before I die but in my case, I want to do this before I’m 40.

Well over the last several weeks, a series of events all related to loan sharks and borrowed money have opened my eyes to certain truths that I’d like to share with you today. It’s my hope that you and I will see the fallacy of this dangerous lifestyle of borrowing that we are unconsciously comfortable with.
Lesson 1: Luzira express. Failure to pay debts is a criminal offence punishable with jail time.
Ok, this one I honestly didn’t know but it’s a scary fact. Even if you owe someone 10,000UGX and they take you to court over failure to pay, well you can be sentenced to jail time. I came to learn this lesson by the unwarranted instruction of a two loan sharks to whom my brothers were indebted. Suffice to say, they both have been arrested and only released upon lots of lobbying.
