LIVING YOUR DREAM

What is a Dream???

A DREAM is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, although they have been a topic of scientific, philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history.



Have you ever foreseen your future? How you would love to be tomorrow or the next Minute? What keeps you from becoming what you foresaw?

These are the 5 ways to start living your dream.


A few years back, I happened to be involved in a situation that would end up ushering me into deep depression and pain. I happened to be in a relationship where I put my all, committed my whole and at one time stopped living my dreams to please my partner. Have you ever been in that moment? The type they say Blind Love?

That was the worst mistake I ever made in life. Let me advice you, Never stop living your dreams to please someone else. For a whole 5 years during that most painful experience, I momentarily stopped living. All I could see was failure, regrets and pain.

Until one day, I attended a meeting by my mentor and tem Leader Mr George Wachiuri of Optiven and he was talking about living your dream. That the day I realized I had to let go and restart again. It wasn’t easy, I remember listening to lots of sermon by Bishop TD Jakes about letting go and Coming back again after a break up.

Many people in our era are suffering internally by not accepting the reality, we are even failing to pursue and live our dreams as we chase towards the wrong direction. Have you ever thought to yourself, that thing you are holding too dearly to might be the reason you are not realizing your dreams?

Today as I sit in my office at the 15th Floor of Barclays Plaza Nairobi, I realize there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution to what each of us may be going through in life. But, we all have a choice to make.

We can choose to accept our circumstances, or we can choose to make the effort to rise above them. That choice usually starts with what you believe about yourself and your dream.

Everywhere you look there is bad news. Every day there’s something in your life that doesn’t work out the way you wanted it to. You can let those circumstances make or break you and too often we’re broken. Despite what you’re going through and despite where you are, you can live a life most people are only content to talk about. Here are five ways you can start living your dream life today.


1. Get honest about what you want from life. It’s scary to admit what you want to do and what you want from your life. You may want something that’s well outside of your comfort zone and even scares others in your life, but those dreams are in your heart and mind for a reason. Sit down and say it out loud. No matter how crazy it sounds — get real.




2. Use the Internet to research your dream. We live in a time where information is readily available. If you own a smartphone or have access to the Internet, you can research what it would take to make your dream life a reality. You don’t have to guess, chances are someone has mapped out what you need to know.

3. Put a plan together and take the first steps. If your dream life is going to become a reality, you’re going to need a plan. It’s amazing how many people “wing it” and end up failing. If you want to quit your job — you should have another job/business in your plan and an emergency fund. If you wish to lose weight — you should map out a healthy diet and exercise plan. You get the picture, but the plan, implemented over time, is how you’ll reach your goals.

4. Ignore self-limiting beliefs and negative people. Along the journey to your dream life, you’ll encounter doubt, fear, and self-limiting beliefs. There will be people in your life who don’t get it and will make their opinion known. If you listen to any negativeness, it will convince you what you want is impossible, and you won’t take the necessary steps to make your dream life a reality.

5. Choose to live life every day. You can miss so much that life has to offer with the chaos and busyness of life. It’s easy to get caught in routines and what feels comfortable. The problem is that all anyone is guaranteed is this moment. It’s important to live each day as if it were the last because it very well may be.


It bothers me to see so many people who are not waking up every day and experiencing freedom in their life. I realize this is a short article among thousands you’ll probably read, but my hope is that this is a starting point. It will be hard, and it will take time. There will be many times along the way that you’ll feel like giving up — don’t.


Your dream life is attainable, but more than that, it’s important. Life is short, and each of us only gets one life to live. Choose to believe in yourself. Choose to believe in what’s possible, and then do something about it. Start today and don’t give up until you wake up experiencing true freedom in every area of your life.


Are you living or existing?

  My desire to succeed in life was inspired mostly by my upbringing. We were born in a peasant family in the slopes of Mount Kenya, a county known as Kirinyaga. Our family was poor, but I salute my Dad Mr. Jeremiah and my late Mum Mama Alice Jeremiah, may she rest in peace. Irrespective of the hardships of bringing three children without a formal job, they were reputed small scale farmers. They used to sell horticultural seedlings to earn a daily bread.  Many are the days we slept hungry when the seedlings couldn’t move. But, that never made us give up, instead it was a stepping stone to my strong faith and desire to succeed. During my younger years, my dad used to take me to Sacco meetings and cooperative forums where he would enroll for saving schemes and buying shares. The small sacrifices he made back then was part of what supported him take us to higher education. Success in life is coupled with a lot of sacrificing. Its not an overnight thing, its not magic, IT’S A JOURN...

  It’s Time To Stop Letting Your Past Define Your Future You’re down, you’re tired, you’re hurting, you’ve somehow lost your way. You’ve given someone’s negative opinion of you far too much credit. You’ve let a failed relationship make you fearful of connecting again. You’ve allowed someone’s poor treatment of you to shift the way you see yourself. YOU HAVE TO STOP...... I know you’ve been through some sh*t. We all have. We all have our share of brokenness, discouragement, emptiness, and defeat. We’ve all lost people.  We’ve all been cheated on or left by someone we loved. We’ve all floundered in our faith or slipped somewhere on the path. We’ve all fought demons, illness, mental issues, and pain. We’ve all been let down, had enemies, or made enemies of ourselves. We’ve all had days when we question whether we have the strength to continue. This is not meant to take your problems and shove them to the side, make light of them, or diminish them in comparison to anyone else...
