Kevin wants to ..........have real hunger

Do you know what real hunger is, not the hunger you see on TV from various wartime African countries, internal need for something to fill you up. The people around you sit and work their asses off just for the next pay cheque but not you, you want to create something. Something that you can leave to your children's children's children.
This hunger is the greatest driving force that humans have, kings have conquered vast lands trying to fill that need. Women have plotted against others just to ensure their places in the annuls of history are assured. I have however  not been able to fully synthesize this feeling for myself. Time after a time i want to start something and then i eventually give up because either my heart wasn’t in it or i feel like my time would be better spent somewhere else. I need this hunger.
As a teenager i read a few books by John Grisham and one overriding theme i received from the young lawyers i read about is HUNGER. Working 18 hours a day  every day so that you can get that corner office was the hunger that i saw in those pages. It was all consuming and nothing could ever stop them from getting there.

That is the kind of hunger i speak off....i want it.

Kevin wants to.......enjoy his youth

Burning the candle at both ends,a term every hardworking Kenyan knows oh so well. The point in your life you realize that you actually do not have enough time in the day and you are barely holding on to your sanity as is.

A friend of mine gave me this scenario the other day. When we are young and have energy we have no money to enjoy life, when we have the money and a little less energy we are spending what energy we have left trying to get more money. The crappy part of it all is that when we have the money and the time we do not have the energy to do what we missed doing when we were young.

I know that the above scenario does not encompass everyone but what I am trying to say is that if you are young enjoy your youth or you will wake up one day and wonder where it all went.

Kevin wants to.... Be happy and not be judged for my choices...

They say that life is hard, I agree and I disagree with them. Life is as hard as any individual would like it to be. People everyday complain of dead end jobs but if you have no commitments why stay.

There are plenty of paths that come before us and if we chose them, we better know the consequences. The people you surround yourself are your own personal choice, you are who you surround yourself with. Starting a family is a personal choice and contrary to popular belief, is not the happily ever after scene that its painted to be. All these and more are choices we make, some made out of anger while others have selfish connotations. Do not blame others for the choices that you have made because making others unhappy shall do nothing but create enemies amongst us.

When you make the choices hat you believe you can live with, would others impact the way you view your choices.

What other people think of you is immaterial unless you put too much thought in it. The thoughts that others propagate of you are their own and portray their own inabilities ,so as much as you may want to fit in, it is not worth losing yourself to be with others.
Be the person who brings joy to others by loving them further and in turn they shall reciprocate. Making another person unhappy to be themselves is just killing them bit by bit.....

Kevin wants to......be an animal

I read a book the other day for people interested in losing weight. It simply stated that we need to follow the simple rules of the animal kingdom. A lion wakes up everyday knowing that in order to survive it will need to run as fast or even faster than its prey. A gazelle knows that if it doesn't run fast enough or be more agile, the cheetahs will get him. Animals generally know that they only eat when they need to and drink when they need to, unless you are a bear planning to sleep for 3 months then you just engorge yourself

We can use these principles in every day of our lives when it comes to our health but one section in particular when it comes to our interpersonal lives.

In the family . As a husband , you know tomorrow you shall have to be wiser and stronger to keep your family happy and comfortable. As a mother, you know you shall have to be more thoughtful of your children's needs to ensure they attain their full potential. As parents, you will most definitely have to be more understanding when your children do wrong but also have the strength and determination to do what needs to be done to endure they are back on the right path.



Tomorrow is another struggle to be best at what you do and to ensure you are not someone else's meal......
