10 Thoughts That’ll Stop You From Reaching Your Goals

DID YOU KNOW...

In order to improve my writing and photography skills, I created my personal blog, wilsenx.blogspot.com, Bits and Pieces, in 2009 while working in Zanzibar. I write highlights of my work, aspirations, thoughts, experiences, etc.

In addition to being an archive or journal of my own journey (self-made), I use the blog as a platform to connect, inspire, and educate young people. 

Every year, I aim to publish at least 12 original posts. Today, I'm happy to share my 60th article that highlights 10 thoughts that’ll stop you from reaching your goals.

10  Thoughts That’ll Stop You From Reaching Your Goals.

1. Thinking that you have been bewitched or you will be bewitched or some devil is working against you.
2. Applying crowd mentality in a personal issue. You find it difficult to make decisions that affect you directly. Any little thing you must consult widely and find a perfect solution.
3. Thinking luck isn't always on your side.
4. Do nothing and only wait for God's time. 
5. You're tired, and the only option is to go give up.
6. Feeling you are worthless and not good enough.
7. Others are good, and you can't compete with them.
8. You must be hand-held to make it to stardom.
9. You're born in a poor family, and you can as well be and die poor.
10. Finishing school is better than progressive lifelong learning. Failing in school means to you that you will definitely fail in life.

Don't miss this December offer; I have 5 hours to offer any youth group based in Nairobi for a skill-up session, pro bono, in simple terms, at no cost. The host will organise everything, and I will offer free facilitation based on their chosen subject. 

Have a blessed month. It is December, and soon it will be Christmas. ❤️

Book Launch : Turning Point Magazine

 A Wonderful Evening Indeed! 

Yesterday I attended the inaugural launch of the Turning Point Magazine at Nairobi Safari Club (Lilian Towers), Nairobi, Kenya.

Turning Point magazine, a pioneering platform dedicated to amplifying grassroots voices, sharing success stories, and inspiring meaningful change across Africa and beyond. Turning Point magazine represents a collective effort by professionals across various sectors to bridge the gap in storytelling for social change. Rooted in Kenya but with a vision that extends to 

the African region and international spheres, the magazine serves as a resource for empowering stakeholders with practical insights and innovative ideas. 

I'm happy to have been featured in the magazine and looking forward to the next edition. 

Congratulations 👏 🎉 and all the best; this is indeed a milestone as you focus forward.

"Make sure you learn from your story before you learn from other people's stories because it's easier to fix your own than the rest." - +throughMylens @ Wilson Masaka 

- "Some people will ask you what you do not because they want to help you, but because they do so because they want to check if you're at the same point they left you when they dug a hole for you to sink." - +throughMylens @ Wilson Masaka

Called To Serve As an Interviewer.

I've had the opportunity to interview and be interviewed on a number of times, which has given me a great deal of experience.

I was honoured to be invited to participate in a two-day interview process by the Canada Mathare Education Trust (CMETrust) to award educational scholarships to deserving Mathare Valley youth from low-income households who are top performers in school and are dedicated to giving back to their community.

My overall impression is that a large number of Mathare's bright young people ('A' type students) are in dire need of assistance. A substantial portion of the young people are dedicated and focused on making it happen for themselves, their families, and the community, even though they come from an underprivileged neighbourhood. Mothers support a sizable portion of households, who earn a fluctuating income from menial jobs.

One question you will never miss in any interview is, tell us about yourself. This question may sound simple, but it needs a deep understanding of context. In many cases, it finds many off guard whenever I conduct interviews. The question I want to ask you today is: How well do you know yourself?

I wish every applicant academic success and encourage them to never give up in the event that they are not selected for one of the few available scholarship spots.
