LIFE IS LIKE CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN

  1. #1. Define what the mountaintop looks like. I suggest you articulate, in writing, what success looks like to you. Record your goals for all the key areas on your life. Write out what you want your reality to appear as 5 years from now. List the values you want to stand for. Clarity precedes success.
  2. #2. Start climbing. There’s great power in starting (I call it The Power of a Start). A single act – done now – sets causes into play. It generates momentum. And with the action you begin to experience positive results. That begins a positive feedback loop: more action: more results. And that promotes confidence.
  3. #3. Take small steps. You can’t get to the top of Everest by jumping up the mountain. You get to the mountaintop by taking incremental steps. Step by step you get to the goal. Every step gets you closer to the dream. Life’s like that too. Small steps each day get you to greatness over time. Why? Because days become weeks and weeks become months and months become years. You’ll get to the end of your life anyway-why not reach that place as an extraordinary human being?

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths.
