The Apprentice: My Greatest Fear
Mar 5th
A series of events over the past few days have left me feeling low spirited, frustrated and defeated. I feel like a fraud and a failure. I’m not the person living the life I know I should be.I’m not achieving my goals or following my dreams. To encourage myself I decided to rewrite one of my favorite poems by Marriane Williamson, “Our Greatest Fear” that I came across in my usual morning readings.
What is My Greatest Fear
My Greatest Fear Is not that I am Inadequate, My Greatest Fear Is That I am Powerful Beyond Measure, That I can do and achieve beyond my wildest dreams It is my Light, not my Darkness That Frightens Me,
I Ask Myself, who am I to be Brilliant and Wise? Who am I to be Wealthy and Respected? Who am I to be Handsome and Loved? Who am I to be Talented and Fabulous?
But the real question is, Who Am I not To Be? I am a Child Of God, a Prince in His Kingdom. My playing small does not serve the World.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking So that others won’t feel insecure around Me. I was born to manifest the Glory Of God within me. It is More >

Jan 13th
A friend of mine and long standing business owner Mr. Karangi Karibui of 5th Dimension Architects flattered me by endorsing my blog and the beliefs I aspire to. He thought my readers would be blessed by this poem written in 1927 by Max Erhman. I hope you enjoy it and thanks Karangi!
Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do More >
Millionaire Habit 5: Do what you love.
May 20th
Hello people, I hope you are enjoying this series on the 9 habits of Millionaires. Lets continue.
Habit 5: Do what you love
All successful people in this world have one thing in common. They do what they love.
In Uganda, most of us are looking for shortcuts to getting money and we’re constantly looking for the right business or career path that will get us there. For a while I recall that IT was considered the choice career and then it was Procurement so that people could be on tender boards and eat “enjawulo”.
Let me make this clear, you can never be successful unless you wake up everyday excited & full of passion for the work your going to do. People who love what they do don’t even see it as work. They enjoy themselves tremendously and eat, sleep, breathe what they do. As a result, they become the absolute best at what they do. They are walking encyclopedias about their particular field.
In any industry/ profession there will always be a minority who earn millions and the rest of the majority who earn just enough to get by. Why? Because those who earn the millions absolutely love what they do while the More >
