Five days after my 22nd birthday i received a priceless belated gift ,courage.
I finally got the guts to burst the bubble , that was my comfort zone , and took baby steps to my new found drive and determination.This blessing came in the disguise of being turned down in a star search competition that i wanted desperately to get into.I got nothing that I dreamt of but a couple of minutes with a judge who was quick to classify my vocal ability as 'below average'.
It wasn't easyto digest this verdict.After some quiet time and a text message from a buddy , I made up my mindthere was no turning back in my musical journey or in my life in general.There was no way that I was getting back to the days of my bathroom singing in the safety of my home.I was not just about to become that little garden snail so quick to get back to his shell just because the outside environment wasn't as comfortable as the inside.My buddy's text read
"...But i also believe that since you have only one chance to live, you should live it to the fullest not hide behind hight walls and electric fences".
with those words, i set my mind to get the most and become better in every little thing that i do, be it singing, conversing with a friend or college. i am trying to be fired up for this life and everything that i come across regardless of the results. let me leave you with a question i was asked: "what are you doing today to make it count?"
"it's a new day because i am a better person than i was yesterday and i'm looking forward to a beautiful day."

Making the best out of the worst situation,how smart. Everything has a beginning, soon that will be history and a testimony for you to encourage a humble beginner like you, so do not be discouraged every star has a story to tell.
i like the way you think, especially when you write it down. i must say i saw the difference when you decided that life is too short.
You know you should start a mobile service on safaricom ama Celtel for daily inspirational messages, coz trust me, you would wake up a number of sleeping lives and make them do something with themselves.
You should go insane about your pictures too because i think they are fabulous. You should stop using these others because compared to yours they are a bunch of good for nothing fake pictures.
USE YOURS.
