FEAR:THE IMMOBILIZER




Hello my Wisdom Nugget Fam!😊

 Mnjaua free trial ya 2020 imeisha😂😂😂... so I hope are on board doing what you need to be doing!

 This weeks topic has been sponsored by The Anxiety and Overthinking Limited. Established AC (After Christ). It was listed in Forbes as the one of the biggest companies to invest in lost dreams and hopes. They have been having a successful run to be honest. But we are hoping to get them out of business! SOOON!

 PS: Am I the only one whose mind went straight to transformers soon as I read the immobilizer part? Sounds like some ugly green robot with some twisted sense of humor.. ama i'm crazy? lol

Anyway, I stumbled upon this passage from the Life of Pi by Yann Martell and felt it fit the topic at hand to a T. 
 As Pi (the main character) was recounting his experiences as a castaway on the Pacific Ocean, he said,

“I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever, treacherous adversary... It goes for your weakest spot, which it finds with unerring ease. ... One moment you are feeling calm, self-possessed, happy. Then fear, disguised in the garb of mild-mannered doubt, slips into your mind like a spy. Doubt meets disbelief and disbelief tries to push it out. But disbelief is a poorly armed foot soldier. Doubt does away with it with little trouble. ... Reason comes to do battle for you. You are reassured. Reason is fully equipped with the latest weapons technology. But, to your amazement, despite superior tactics and a number of undeniable victories, reason is laid low. You feel yourself weakening, wavering. ...
Quickly you make rash decisions. You dismiss your last allies: hope and trust. There, you’ve defeated yourself. Fear, which is but an impression, has triumphed over you.”

I particularly loved what he said about fear "slipping in your mind like a spy" merely on account of being dressed as "mild mannered doubt" How often do we let this wolf in sheep clothing slip in and take over? How often do we try cover it up with "trying to be cautious" but secretly we know wassup?

 This fake "transformer" can come in many forms: It can be fear of disappointing others, of overstepping my bounds, of making the wrong decision, fear of making the right decision ,but of not being good enough to see it through, fear that you are wasting your time, fear that our indecisiveness made you miss your chance, fear that you want the wrong things or not understanding what the right things are... I can go on an on hunny! on and on!

 I am in no way shape or form trying to discredit the real substantiated fear, which can be a true asset. What I am talking about is the unsubstantiated kind which we should be watchful over before it permeates through our minds with "unerring ease". 

Because if we let it, there is no end to what it can hold us back from doing. In so many ways, it is indeed, as Pi says "Life's true opponent."

 And that's on 👇

 With that being said, I have been walking on Fear Boulevard for a minute now but it's time I switched to You've-Got-This Street and decided to start a YouTube Channel.

Even Patrick is happy for me!!!
PS: This is my fave gif of all time😂😂😂
I am scared sh*tless but I will never really know what this could possibly morph into until I try. Plus I ain't letting no undercover ugly transformer spy come in my way... oh no sirree!!!

 The channel is called the Ordinary Girl.
Click 👆👆👆
I want to cover everyday issues that people go through i.e celibacy, early marriage, situationships, joblessness, being a skinny girl in an ass-obsessed society....and the wooooooorrrks!!!😏😏😏

 I will have great people to interview and awesome story times!

All this will be covered with great zeal and humor. 

 Its gonna be a great ride on the You've-Got-This Street and it is my hope and prayer that you get in the van and go on this ride with me!

GENDER BASED VIOLENCE; STILL A HUGE THORN IN KENYA'S FLESH

Hey Wisdom Nugget Lovers, Gender based violence encompasses quite a few subtopics i.e  physical assault, verbal abuse, domestic conflicts, defilement, sexual assault and forced marriages. Violence against women and girls knows no race, age, class or culture. It has been happening since time immemorial, some based on stupid ideologies and cultural beliefs among other reasons. It occurs in homes, schools, places of work and entertainment just to name a few .  Domestic violence is defined as   "the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. it includes physical violence, physiological violence, and emotional abuse" Just last month we heard about the story of Lucy Njambi who is a victim of Domestic Violence based on her story. Her husband, former Kiambu MCA, who was in the company of unidentifie...

HOW HONEST IS TOO HONEST?🤔🤔🤔

Is  there something like too honest??? Or is it just something people came up with to protect their egos from reality? Honesty: A virtue so few have yet everyone claims to have it; A trait so many want to portray and act like they can handle it, yet are not emotionally positioned to take it from someone else; A trait that may often come out as rude and bruising yet the intention was pure Don't you just hate it when someone says, "chills for who?" yet for starters, you had no intention for the statement to come off so blunt even though you approve the message.. or is it just me? I feel like it takes away from the true intention of the message. Even though it may be trivial. Late last year I was invited to a surprise birthday party. Everything was going pretty well. Our hommie Omosh had whipped up some fire food.  Good music was playing. The surprise aspect didn't fail(Thank you God!). So it was time to cut the cake. We are all around the dinn...

Tell me life is good with a little bumps on the road but you've got this? And if not, are you seeking help? Had you achieved your goals for the 3rd quarter of the year? Have you set other goals for the last quarter? What mental space are you in this last quarter? (The comment section is there for all the responses you want to give... I'd be happy to read your responses) I'll start us off, just to get you a little comfy. Q: How you been? A: I've been quite fine to be honest. Distracted but good. Q: Tell me life is good with a little bumps on the road but you've got this? And if not, are you seeking help? A: What is life without speed bumps? So, despite the curve balls, I got a little bruised on the journey but I KNOW I've got this. Q: Had yo...
