Life Series

Did you know... 

No plan, is still a plan, 
Inaction is still an action,
Indecision is still a decision, 

One step in the right direction is worth than a hundred steps in the wrong direction. 
Sometimes it isn't the speed of the wind that determines your arrival, but rather it's about how you adjust your sail on the right direction regardless of the speed Life Series... 

My true self, the true North! 

The best version of yourself doesn't live in imitating others, rather it resides in a process of self discovery of what more you can do while you also learn from other people. It isn't how long you live that counts, but rather what you do regardless of the years you live that will continue to live even when you're gone.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow and Future! Yesterday is in my books, Today is all I have to make the desired change, Tomorrow is what I desire within a short distance, The future is where is see myself after all is done, The past will always be present in our future, never forgets how the past has contributed to your present status. Sometimes we are advised never to look back in some situations, but it's also profound not to forget our past as we focus on the future. 

Your present status is the linchpin that connects your past and your desired future prospects which is based on what you do today as informed by your yesterday. www.wilsenx.blogspot.com











You Need More Than Just a Great Idea To Turn Your Dreams into Reality.

Do you believe in the power of your dream? 

Here is a small video I have compiled less than 5 minutes in acknowledgement of where have come from and what I'm currently doing. Today is exactly 9 years since I shared my dream during the prestigious youth fellowship in Hamburg, Germany. 




I shared part of the Wilsen initiative (Wi) mission and vision and the desired dream towards achieving a more prosperous community where youth are at the center stage of all actions as catalysts of positive change through their skills and talents. I know there is a lot that is yet to be done but I take this moment to appreciate the journey travelled and to thank everyone who has been part of my journey.

Link me up with any opportunities to train or work with young people.

Wilsen Initiative (Wi) Soccer Shoes Campaign 2021

Ongoing Through the Year for U10 to U15 years. Wilsen Initiative - A shoe a month still makes a difference in someone's soccer' journey. Raising the Bar Beyond Self! Tagline:- Play Safe with Dignity. My target this year is to reach at least 50 young stars (U10 - U15) from underserved communities in Mathare North with quality pairs of soccer shoes. Yesterday I delivered four pairs to make it 10 soccer shoes so far delivered, now remaining 40 as per my target. 

 To make it sustainable, I make necessary efforts to encourage the parents and guardians to buy a second pair once they wear out. The problem we have is a society where parents and guardians don't support the extracurricular activities, especially in sports as one of the avenues of building a career and an all rounded person. Due tough economic situations and unexplained issues, buying a soccer shoe in the most underserved family isn't a priority. 

My story is a testimony which drove me to start this initiative in the year 2000. Call To Action I invite you to be part of this change process by donating a pair or two. I thank all my friends and my family for supporting the calls since inception in the year 2000. 

I want to encourage you to never give up, change is a gradual process and in this case I want to inspire and challenge a mindset that will reach the parents and guardians and the entire community to take sports in this case soccer as a serious venture by investing in their children at the earliest age. 

There are many benefits that a child gets being part of a well organized soccer team /club for example; 

  1. They learn the soccer skills and drills. 
  2.  Improve self esteem.
  3.  Guidance and mentorship from senior coaches. 
  4. Improved teamwork.
  5. Leadership roles, for example being a captain.
  6. Accountability of behavior away from home.
  7. Physical and psychological well-being. Etc. 
Through Wilsen initiative, we want to offer the best experience for the children's growth in soccer while we encourage them to observe the best values that will take them beyond the youth life. We also support education has one pillar of success which, if paired with a great talent good chance of many doors of opportunities will open.

 I don't only want to showcase our soccer journey, but I want to do something by changing it for better, especially with special attention to our young stars who are between U10 to U15. I used to play barefoot so I understand how it feels, read more about how I acquired my first soccer shoes which made me never to look back in helping the young stars where I can.
