Hidden Treasure

By Gordon Opiyo

3am Thought
Hidden Treasure
There is something precious in everyone, and it takes someone with a revelation to see that hidden treasure.
I know of a woman who was treated badly in a previous relationship. The boyfriend, and his family treated her like trash. Badmouthing her because she had three children from three different men. She was always made to feel that she did not deserve to be anything. Her life was a mess, and she felt worthless and useless
When she moved on, she met a man who appreciated her, not based on her dark past, but based on what he could see in her. The Lady was made to feel like a Pearl, like someone precious.  This other guy looked at the three children as a treasure, and added one of his own. Within one year, she started a business dealing in beauty products and clothing. Since she was talented in talking sweetly ( mdomo tamu) her business prospered and she became a big brand. And made herself rich, and her husband even richer.
The Parable of the hidden treasure speaks about a similar case in Matthew 13 "44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 
The man saw the field that 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."
You can see that in the first instance, there is someone who had land, but did not see its worth, until someone else came and bought it. Same to the precious Pearl. 

There are people or companies that do not see your worth. You can never prosper under them. They will always see the worst in you, instead of the hidden treasure.
Move on and discover your worth. Do not waste time trying to convince someone who sees nothing in you. Someone who sees just your dark past. Someone who calls you conman, someone who calls you Malaya, someone who calls you uneducated.
Move on and discover your worth.
If you are already married, just do your best to bring out the best in you.
But never stay in relationships, in companies, in teams, in associations that see the worst in you. Discover the Pearl inside you by getting the right associations

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Mr. Riley was already there when they arrived, sitting on the sand, eyes closed in a deep meditation. He was shirtless, wearing camouflage-patterned shorts similar to the ones The Spellbinder styled the day he appeared on the beach and a pair of rubber diving booties with smiley face emojis scattered over them. You would have been more than amused if you saw him in them. An assistant rushed out of the billionaire’s home the instant he raised a hand toward the heavens, displaying the universal victory sign. Three crisp pages of paper were effic...

THE CROWN YOU CARRY: A Letter to My LOVELY Daughter FROM THE HEART OF A MOTHER

My Dearest Daughter, As the sun rises over the hills of Limuru, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed tea leaves, my heart swells with pride, hope, and the wisdom only a mother can carry. You, my beautiful girl, are in school, and while the world sees a student in uniform, I see a queen in the making. I see the grace of your grandmother, the fire of your ancestors, and the promise of a bright African dawn glowing in your eyes. This Easter, God granted me the sweet joy of bonding with you—not just as a mother—but as a woman who has walked a little further on this winding road of life. You may not know it yet, but in those laughter-filled mornings and quiet evening chats, a legacy was passed on: not of gold or silver, but of values, vision, and virtue. Let me speak to your soul now, daughter of mine. Listen with your spirit. In this life, my sweet child, “a child who does not listen to the mother’s advice will sleep with the flies” — a Ghanaian proverb as old as wisdom itself. The worl...
