The RULE

Campsite rule states “Leave the campsite better than when you found it”












The campsite is none other than the community we live in, and yes the life rule should be none other than that of the campsite! Leave your community better than how you found it, impact people’s lives positively, make the world a better place.


🎶There’s a place in your heart and I know that it is love and this place could be much brighter than tomorrow🎶 Michael Jackson said it best! Heal the world make it a better place for you, for me and the entire human race.


I read somewhere that coming from a place of genuine love, one can never lose. There surely is love in our hearts and genuine love never loses, do you ever reflect on the people you met and how they impacted your life? I’m sure there are some people we even refrain from thinking about! But are you aware that there might be people who would also not want to think of you because of how you impacted their lives? In kinyarwanda they say «usize nkuru ki i musozi » what kind of story did you leave behind? Would people smile from the thought of you or would they loathe it ?


We have love in us, we should learn to give it out, we should always try to be a blessing to others. A good friend of mine told me something that hit to the core, he said that even if you don’t get to stay in someone’s life you should make sure you made a good impact, that you changed the person’s life for the better and that you were a blessing to them. That’s the rule, make sure you are a blessing to the people you meet, to the people in your life. Always strive to make their lives better and do it from a place of genuine love.


I wish that whenever people think about us they smile at the thought of us, and that they feel gratitude by the simple thought of us. For Christians this is more clear, “may people see Jesus in us”. Live by the rule and make the world a better place than you found it.

Emotions

Image
Ever thought about how your emotions impact those around you? A book I'm reading, What You Feel You Can Heal , compared emotional expression to the physics of a see-saw, and it got me thinking. When you suppress your feelings, someone close to you might unknowingly pick up on them and express those emotions instead. Picture it: you’re sitting on one end of the see-saw, holding down your feelings, and the person on the other end gets pulled up, reflecting what you’ve been trying to push down. I can’t help but remember how, as a child, I would worry(I guess I still do) when my mom seemed uneasy, even though she'd always say, "Everything's fine." The more I worried, the more she tried to calm me, which only made me feel more anxious. This is exactly the phenomenon the book describes: “The people close to you will act like mirrors, reflecting back to you a perfect image of yourself, including the parts of yourself you would rather not look at or deal with.” This isn’t...

Forgiveness

Image
It is said that forgiveness is the greatest gift you can give yourself, but again, isn't it the hardest thing to do? But who said we shouldn't do hard things? Why should it be more easier to forgive others than ourselves?  We tend to think that forgiving ourselves is excusing our mistakes or forgetting the past, but it's not! When we forgive ourselves, we are just embracing our imperfect journey, we are acknowledging that we are humans, that we will stumble, that our mistakes don't define us, and that however much we may fall short, we are still worth of compassion, still worth of love, and that we deserve a fresh start. Forgiving yourself is not running away from whatever you might have done. It's a brave act of letting go of the heavy burden of guilt, shame, and regrets that you always carry around. It is a quiet, rebellion against your inner voice that always whispers how you ain't good enough, how you're such a bad person beyond repair, how you're a ...

Firsts

Image
We all tend to live by the saying “live every day as your last” I read in a book that we shouldn’t actually say that! that lasts are tragic and we should instead live every day as our first since firsts are exciting and I couldn’t agree more! Imagine being told that you only have few days left to live… would you really laugh genuinely, would you be able to go to places or talk to people with enthusiasm? Would you boldly say that’s it?! That you did it all? that you laughed your hardest, helped others, enjoyed life, and loved yourself and others fully in your time here?  Now think of how exciting it is to do something, be somewhere or meet someone for the first time. Think of how each day would be a celebration and an accomplishment, think of how at the end of the day you’d be happy to recall how exciting and satisfying the day was, and think of how if that day was to actually be the last you’d smile and say oh I’ve definitely lived!  Lasts are indeed tragic and sometimes full ...
