About a month ago I set out on journey of personal development. The first step that I took was to delete all nasty material from my computer cause I realised it took too much of my time, that would better be utilised feeding my brain.
This last week I had the opportunity to interact with some one I can call simply a genius. And yes, I received most of the wisdom in a bar, my new found hangout.
He made me understand the importance of distinguishing between what's important and what’s urgent. He had the opportunity to study outside Kenya. While out there, he chose to forego the pleasures life I.e. Partying, driving, living uptown; to concentrate on his studies. Needless to say his grades were fabulous and he's doing quite well for himself as a result. I have observed him, and he's mostly adding to his knowledge, taking small breaks to drink or watch a tv show. Comparatively, I drink and slob all day. And I'm supposed to compete with such a person!
So the next part of my journey us to reduce the amount of bar time and tv time. I know i will suffer serious withdrawal symptoms, but I'll manage. What's important to note is that these changes are from deep within me, and I believe I can do anything I set my mind to do.
I cannot expect to be what I dream to be without doing the walk.
