Stop watching too much TV If you spend too much time watching TV, you are wasting your life away. I feel really strongly about this one. I don’t have cable, and while I do watch some shows on Netflix, it’s few and far between. I only watch TV after I really am relaxed and need a break. I’m also careful not to turn on the TV right when I get home. I find that if I do this, I’m sucked in. This is why I keep my reading list and focus on reading good books instead. So, start to pay attention to how much TV you’re watching. If you think it’s too much, cut back. Limit your TV intake to 30 minutes to 1 hour per day, if possible. Stop talking about people behind their backs Talking about someone behind her back is a bad idea for a number of reasons. First, if someone is talking to you behind someone else’s back, you can bet on it that they also will talk about you. Second, did you know that when you talk about someone negatively, the person who you’re talking to will associate yo...

Miguna Miguna on JKL Show/Photo by Standard Digital PART I - Published on Facebook on March 14, 2016 11:30 pm “We have no right to believe that freedom can be won without struggle.” – Che Guevera. Kenya is at a crossroads. If the 2017 elections is mismanaged, bungled or rigged, there will be apocalyptic violence, which could quickly degenerate into a civil war. A civil war means senseless loss of innocent lives and wanton destruction of property. It would also mean the end of peace, stability and prosperity as we have known them. Such a grim prospect must be avoided. Yet, we cannot prevent such catastrophe if we continue electing thieves, looters, drug runners, liars and hypocrites; people who will say just about anything to get elected so that they can continue stealing our money and public land. We have clear choices in the forthcoming elections: we can choose to continue with the same scandals, thieves, looters and drug lords, or we can choose clean, progressive an...

You think you've seen her naked because she took her clothes off? Tell me about her dreams. Tell me what breaks her heart. What is she passionate about, and what makes her cry? Tell me about her childhood. Better yet, tell me one story about her that you're not in. You've seen her skin, and you've touched her body. But you still know as much about her as a book you once found, but never got around to opening. ~Beautiful Poem

Feed Your Mind For your mind to be happy and healthy, it needs to be well fed. You spend your whole life learning, but it’s important to direct all that lifelong education the right way. The fact is that your choice of education already got you to a certain point, but that doesn’t mean that you have to develop only a certain skillset. Besides, you can’t know if you’re any good at something if you don’t try it, which is why my sincere suggestion is to experiment and spend your life trying out new things that look fun and exciting. As far as I’m concerned, and as many great minds have agreed, reading is a gateway to happiness.

The quality of your lifestyle does depend on the numbers on your ba...
