WAYS IN WHICH FEAR HOLDS YOU FROM SUCCEEDING

These are some of the ways fear stops you from being a success.
1. FEAR COULD KILL YOUR SELF-BELIEF
Self-belief is a necessary ingredient for success. A lot of successful people were mocked at in the beginning, but their self-belief helped them through and they became a success.
Self-belief gives you that passion to continue even when the odds are against you. However, when fear steps in, you lose that belief — and it becomes almost impossible to succeed when you don’t even believe.
2. THE FEAR OF FAILURE
A lot of people have been held bound just because of the fair of failure; a lot of potential, a lot of ideas and a lot of thinking has been stuck in some people’s mind, simply because they are afraid it wouldn’t work.
Just imagine if Bill Gates let the fear of failure hold him bound or President Obama succumbed to the fear of failure; they surely wouldn’t have been successful.
3. FEAR OF WHAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY
A lot of people are afraid of living their lives or following their dreams simply because they are afraid of what people would say. When you fear what people would say or how they would react then you kill that belief or desire to push for that which you want.
4. FEAR COULD HOLD YOU FROM TRYING AGAIN
Some goals aren’t achieved at the first try; sometimes, you have to fail, learn from your mistakes and try again. But when you let fear in; fear would give you many reasonable excuses why you should succumb, and when you succumb to it that would be the death of that dream.
5. FEAR COULD MAKE YOU PLAY IT SAFE
Great successes come with great risks, but fear would make you sceptical; fear would make you want to play it safe, fear would want you to shun the risk, and when you give in to this fear, you would rarely succeed big at what you do.
6. EXCUSES
Do not give in to fear; fear would give you over a thousand excuses why it wouldn’t work, and this would make you live a life of excuses. Excuses would only lead to failure and stagnation.
“If we doubted our Fears instead of doubting our dreams, Imagine how much in life we’d accomplish” — Joel Brown

MOURNING THE ONLY PRINCIPAL I KNEW

By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau I arrived at Kanyakine High School on 18th February 1999 a small village boy. I had never been to a boarding school, and certainly this is the furthest from home I had ever gone. The boys who were assigned to escort me to Mungania dorm looked at my stunted height and loudly wondered how I would survive in Beast's school.  "Who is Beast?" I asked in bewilderment. "You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth. Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the publ...
