THIS GUT INSTINCT!!!

I have said this before..that l write mostly in my head. This is especially true as far as this blog is concerned.l usually have all these issues in my head and l argue my case and it makes sense. Only it is me who decides if it does indeed make sense:-).

Anyways, been all over the place.I have loads of work.Finally, dreams really come true.I have two jobs.Dream jobs if l may add.You know the other day l was telling a friend of mine that sometimes we ignore what we know intuitively even though it is what we should do. I have come to believe that,it doesn't matter if l can't prove something.If l know that it will work l will go ahead and execute it. No, not anything horrible.

What l mean is, l have come to trust my gut instinct.Most of us just think it is another voice that is unreasonable.But truth be told, people who have had great breakthroughs just trusted their instinct.If you could have asked them in the dead of the night if they thought it could work out, the answer you could have come away with could have been shocking.

So shortly,l am learning how to trust that gut instinct.Of course, l weigh it. But trust me,l always run with it. As a result,l have started to feel like l am getting to where l have always thought l belong....where my dreams live.

There's no feeling like that. So can you imagine the day things just open up?!!!

THESE INCOMPETENT KENYANS!!!

Okay, l need to complain. I need to shout until l choke and my voice gets hoarse.What is wrong with this picture?

Nearly 4 years later they now come up from their little holes to say, "oh we will have water shortage because oops!!! the Sasumua dam got damaged," "when?, " "2003." 2003?!!! Where were they all this time?Why didn't they repair it when they noticed that it had gotten damaged? This is the most annoying thing to hear on the Prime News. Some smartly dressed Kenyans purporting to be experts. Experts? Which experts let things slide to this extend? Do these experts from the Nairobi Water company have performance contracts? When we are being told ...Tujivunie kuwa Wakenya.. this just dampens it.Who put these 'experts' in charge? Do they know how much water costs?

They should actually pay for the damages.And don't tell me about the system.Ati it would have taken long to get stuff running. The system is you and me. If we bog it down, it will be bogged down. A system can never be bogus. It is the so called 'experts' that are bogus thereby rendering the system bogus.The system is amorphous,remember?

Get your act together Nairobi Water Company.Don't show up wearing designer suits and give us garbage during 9 O'clock Prime News.Kenyans don't believe talk anymore.The government taught us to believe actions.They are experts at promises when they are desperately searching for the winning vote. So why should we believe words? Nairobi Water Company ...YOUR ACTIONS ARE SO LOUD WE CAN'T HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

WHAT IF I HAD HAD MEETING WITH BILL GATES?!!!

I called to have a meeting arranged for me to meet with Bill Gates and when l put the phone down, my colleagues laughed. Hysterically.

Up till now,l haven't figured out if it was out of spite or shock. When l asked a number of them, they said it was out of shock that l made this meeting look so trivial.Why?l wondered. Is it because of who l wanted to meet and discuss critical HIV/AIDS projects with?

Bill Gates was in Kenya. Obviously, it was silent because by the time l was calling l was 4 hours late.He had already left the country. What l don't get is the laughter.I like what Mr Gates is doing for Africa. I like what he is doing for the US and indeed the world.I like that he is out there trying to get a vaccine for this disease.That l totally love.The effort that is.

It is with such people l like to spend my time with.People who strive to make this world better than they found it. I guess some of my colleagues think l was way out of my league. But you know, l once read...How will you know that you can achieve the impossible without trying it? Someday, like l told the tour firm contact, l will get to have a meeting with Mr Bill Gates. This man is doing a great job.

Now, l wonder what if l had had a meeting with Mr Bill Gates, would it have been so funny?

FOR SHEEZY, LIFE AIN'T A REHEARSAL

I have been all over the place and l have learnt a lot in the process.

One thing stands out though.That at the end of the day it is important to be clear on what you want to achieve for your life.I know you have heard, but let me say it again...life is not a rehearsal. Your turn on the stage will actually come to the end.You my dear will get to leave the stage to allow for another actor to get on. What will you be remembered by? If not others remembering you, what will you personally want to be remembered by?

The other day as l watched Usher dance off the troubles of the world on EATV, a thought just hit me. "Look at this kid, the other day he was a boy, now he is a man." That hits you in the pit of your stomach and especially if you haven't been doing anything of meaning with your life.

So today as l go about my life,l know that this ain't a rehearsal. No.l just didn't hear that cliche. But that statement just got reinforced,real hard.And now, it is personal.

Go on, get on stage and strust your stuff like there's no tomorrow.Today might be the only day you have.
