My view about the world

We live in a world of divisions. A world where we are classified according to rich or poor, strong or weak, tall or short, educated or non educated, black or white, religious or non religious.

Based on these divisions we are always comparing ourselves with others, especially those who are better than us. The truth is every human being is different and unique and our failure to understand this has caused a lot of frustration, suffering and loss of self confidence, because we can’t be as rich, tall or educated like others.

So before you get frustrated because of comparing yourself with someone better than you, know that there will always be people better than us and there are others who want to be like you. The world would be a happy place to live in if we only stop focusing on what we don’t have but also appreciate what we have, understand and respect each other regardless of our backgrounds and use the natural potential we all have.

Message for peace loving people

February 2009, was a month of learning and unlearning about the most profound aspects of living a peaceful and happy life.

I got a life time opportunity to take part in the Peace Revolution project. Before i joined the project, i had spent the least 4 years trying to find answers to some of the hardest questions like who i am?, why people live a happy and fulfilling life and others don’t? Why our brothers and sisters in Kenya fought and killed each other?
Through the peace revolution's online self development programme, I got the answers.


I underwent a life changing one month learning and self discovery experience, where i was challenged, mentored, coached and trained to personally discover and use the most important principles of creating boundaryless happiness in life. I learnt self discipline, humility/ respect, persistence, mindfulness and generosity. I also shared experiences with amazing individuals from various countries and continents on how to create deep true world peace. I am now applying these principles in my life and i enjoy improved relationships with my friends, increased personal and professional achievements and i live a happy and fulfilling life.

If you want to discover who you are, how to use your natural potential and to live a more fulfilling life, join the peace revolution and after i would like to share experiences with you on how me and you can support others in creating peace for us and the world.

I am who i am

This is the first poem, that i have written in life, so i thought it would be good to post it. The poem is called I am who i am.....I hope you like it

I am a gift ………
to those who brought me into this world……
to those who want gifts to share with loved ones.

I am generous………..
because I give without expecting anything in return……..
I am made of generosity too,………
because I shared in the merit of the generous ones…….
And I want to give back to those who were generous to me.

I love myself…………
because I appreciate that I am unique……
because I want to share love with others…….
And I want to fill love and affection in the hearts of those who miss it.

I am happy
because I know that my happiness creates happiness for others…
And I wish everyone could find true happiness.

I am who I am……
I am Julius

Prepare for the outcomes of the decisions you make!

I have heard a lot of turning points in my life....but the greatest turning point was when my Dad was imprisoned.

My perspective on life and people changed...Life taught me to be independent and decision making and people taught me how not to trust.

I was 15 years old at that time when i started making decisions that not only affected me but the whole family too.
I got a job at the construction of the owen falls dam extension. I was excited that i was going to earn my own money. My first day at the job,
was not as expected, i had very high expectations but they were all shattered. The job was very manual and required a lot of energy. Each day i had to dig meters of trenches for erecting pavements.

The murram was very hard that by a single hit on the road, my palms started bleeding. I thought the day would not end but it did.

After working tirelessly for a week i declined going back to work. When my mum asked why i was not at work, i replied.." i don't want to work anymore". She asked, how will we leave if you do not work! Your others brothers and sisters are too young to work.

I kept quiet, thinking about the response which i did not have at that time. The whole day i thought about my young brothers and sisters.....i started thinking about what would happen to them if i do not work...

I started picturing them going for days without food, missing classes and i did not allow myself to think of what would happen after. The following day at exactly 7:00 am i was at work. Ever since that day i learnt that its easy to make decisions that only affect you but not decisions that affect others. The greatest lesson out if it, is that when you make a decision, you also choose the outcomes. So
Whichever decision you make good or bad, know that you have chosen the outcomes too (good or bad) and you are also responsible for the outcomes.
