Learn to Choose Yourself

 Self Made Series 

 +throughMylens, inspired by Wilsen Initiative (Wi) journey 

Choosing yourself is not selfish. It is a declaration that your life, your growth, and your purpose matter.

Many people spend years waiting to be chosen — by employers, by friends, by society, or by opportunities. But the greatest transformation begins the moment you decide to choose yourself first.

Choosing yourself means giving your dreams permission to exist. It means investing in your growth even when nobody is watching. It means believing in your journey even when others doubt it.

Your future cannot be built on hesitation. It must be built on intentional decisions.

What It Means to Choose Yourself

1. Create time for yourself and protect it.

2. Take care of your health, your mind, and your finances. Save and invest in your future.

3. Learn something new every day — growth is your greatest asset.

4. Build meaningful relationships that inspire and challenge you.

5. Dare to start. Every great journey begins with a bold step.

6. Be mindful of what you consume — in food, words, and information.

7. Face the person in the mirror honestly and commit to becoming better.

8. Learn from others but design your own path.

9. Choose happiness intentionally. Don’t be bitter — be better.

10. Own your journey and let your progress speak for itself.

Happy International Women's Day 2026

📅 Sunday, 8th March is International Women’s Day. 

This year’s campaign theme is #GiveToGain

The question is simple: What are you going to give to empower women in different spaces?

At Wilsen Initiative (Wi), one of our key focus groups is women and girls in sports.

While sports can be a powerful platform for growth and opportunity, the reality is that many players operate within what I often call the “dark tunnel”—a space where many off-the-field challenges remain unspoken and unaddressed.

Unfortunately, women and girls in sports often face numerous challenges, including a lack of mentors, limited meaningful engagement, low wages, mental health struggles, and inadequate material support, just to mention a few.

Through Wilsen Initiative (Wi) and the I Am a sHERO program, we want to shine a spotlight beyond the pitch by addressing:
📍 The unspoken challenges athletes face
📍 The untapped opportunities around women’s football
📍 The personal development needed to thrive both on and off the field

Our Give 

As part of our contribution this International Women’s Day, we are offering:

🕕 Six hours of free facilitation to one women’s football team in Nairobi.

This opportunity is open to teams at different levels:
📍 Premier League teams
📍 National Super League teams
📍 School teams

The session will focus on personal development, life skills, and navigating opportunities in and beyond football.

Get in touch to make arrangements for the session at your convenience.

💜❤️ Happy International Women’s Day!

Let us continue to uplift, support, and create spaces where women and girls can thrive, lead, and inspire future generations.

Self Made Series | Are You Jobless?

Let me ask you three simple questions:

1️⃣ What time do you go to sleep?

2️⃣ What time do you wake up?

3️⃣ What are you doing with your 24 hours?

Apart from money, time is the most valuable resource you have. The painful truth is that you often realize its value only when it’s gone. You can lose money and recover it, but lost time never comes back.

Being jobless does not mean being hopeless. I know this because I have been in that loop before. If you navigate it well, that phase can completely reshape how you see life, work, and opportunity.

So let me ask you another question:

Do you have an idea?

The world is full of problems—billions, maybe even trillions of them. And many solutions already exist that look very similar. The real secret is not finding something no one has ever thought about.

The secret is to frame your solution around your passion, your experience, and a real problem you understand that many people experiencing.

📍 Solution = Refine it. Improve it. Make it yours.

When your solution is built from your journey and learning, even if someone tries to copy it, they will still have to walk the same path of experience, research, and growth.

Jobless today doesn't mean directionless tomorrow. Wake up. Use your time. Build something.
