MADE IN...

Finally, i can here my good friend who since i did not seek their permission to mention them..heaving a sigh of relief... one person i know agrees with me is one Henry Githaiga, who agrees with me that maintaining a blog ain't that easy..but here we are so before i get started..OLAAAAAAAAA! How is everyone doing?

Well, its been a while huh? i went on leave got some rest and got some thinking and recollecting time and now am back ready to (try) keep this blog up and running..hehehe yes, emphasis on the word try..The topic of this blog really encapsulates the mood and even obsession with where we think something originates from; think about it, when you see the following

MADE IN UK ( you are probably thinking cool Europe)

MADE IN CHINA (you are probably thinking hmmm.... probably took a short time to assemble and wont last long..*hides*)

MADE IN USA ( you probably thinking, Obama land, or probably has affiliation to Kenya *ok maybe im stretching it*)

But what about you? Thats right and i know the "smart one" will go like i was made in my mothers womb, ok that's a given but then what informs your thinking and the way you live, it all can be traced back to where you were made. Stay with me now...Lets look at the definition of the words:

1. To cause to exist or happen; bring about; create
2. To bring into existence by shaping, modifying, or putting together


Now that we have that, let’s delve into this thing. You see when finally decide to do or even say something there is the baking force, or the force behind the scens if you may. We all go through life and whatever we go through shapes our opinions and attitudes toward certain matters, it basicly changes teh way you view life and so then the sentence

a.) we make a decsion based on what we have gone through in the past

can be rewritten based on the first definition

a.) We CAUSE TO EXIST OR HAPPEN, decisions based on what we have gone through in the past

Look at that, beasue many times we think that we are making a decision but really we are only causing the decsion to exist based on what has happened to us or a loved one. but i am more interested in the second definition and that is what i will major on.

TO BRING TO EXISTENCE BY SHAPING, MOLDING...

wow, when i saw that it just blew me away..You see we may not know it but what we see, hear, adn even say actualy shape and mold our lives. I think about when we were young watching the bold and the beautiful, and we would see Brooke and Ridge forester in a lip-lock ( ok children under 18 go to sleep) we would then the next day go out and play cha-mama and cha- baba and try to play out what we saw..( and the witnesses said i hear you!) The same way from conversations we engage in, from people we talk to, from experiences of life we form a certain basis and/or criteria t handle life..

It becomes important then who you hang around, and what you allow yourself to hear,one of the pastors i respect in Nairobi Pastor Muriithi of Mavuno church says that " we must thrive where we are planted" think about that, that wherever you go you are supposed to be a success! What does that mean you must make success happen, translated you must BRING TO EXISTENCE BY SHAPING AND MOLDING.. Success, how do you do this? You trace back from whence you were made, that is to say the origin of your hurt, joy, etc, look back and where it all began, if you do that you will discover that you live in a "controlled environment" and you are in the driver seat of your life..

Finally let me submit to you, that you are created to make a difference in this world and it doesnt matter how small an impact you think you make, it is worth it. You are worth the time and the energy, and guess what in your own unique way, you are the jewel of the world,and most importantly you are somebody's miracle...

So go out there and CAUSE TO HAPPEN! you are a miracle looking for a place to happen.

ENOUGH SAID
