Is my Normal Normal?

We are wired (designed) to make decisions, consciously and or sub-consciously, that will ensure that we remain or return to our "Normal" also referred to as "Comfort Zone".

This is why, more often than not, you can take a person from a poor environment, plant them in a rich environment, give them time they will turn the new environment to look like the old one unless something is done to change the "normal" they carry inside.

This 'normal aka comfort zone' was designed to keep us safe and comfortable; to enable us to make decision to bring us out of danger and uncomfortable place back to the normal – place of refuge, happiness and productivity.

How is a Normal Created?

Our normal is created by the physical, mental and spiritual environment we live in for a considerable period of time, which in turn, dictates what we know and experience we have. As we live these experiences, we record them and adopt them to be normal – consciously or subconsciously.

For instance, walk in a room and see a spec of dirt on the glass window – it bothers you but you are busy and do nothing about it. Next day you see it again and think, I should clean that but again busy day and the spec remains for week and soon you don't even see it while physically it is still there. Then you hire an intern, she/he finds the spec on the window and do nothing because, it is normal to the environment.

Once I understood that, I began to examine the normal I have adopted about my relationships, finances, quality of life and service to humanity. I became conscious of what I allow my children to experience and accept as NORMAL.

Is my Normal Normal?

How can we say one's normal is not normal? it is their normal to be had in the first place.

It will be quite presumptuous of me to tell anyone that their normal is not normal. I think it is all subjective to what they want to experience and accomplish in life.

There was time, growing up, I believed it was normal and acceptable to be fearful of new anything. There was a time I believed it was normal to struggle for money and time – after all, if we had all the money and time, how will we appreciate God when He provides? So not only did I thought and believed it was normal to lack, but I expected it so that when "God" provides I will have a testimony, isn't that the whole purpose of having God in one's life? I thought…

No matter how much money I earned, I always bought "used" staff; used car, used TV, used house, used clothes, used everything was full in my used house…I saw no problem with that paradigm, it was Ok for me as long as the 'thing' was working, it didn't matter that it came down from other people.

Today I have a new normal, which made this old normal abnormal or less useful to me. I experienced a new environment (places and people) that changed my knowledge and I was open to change from within. This new normal has allowed me to make decisions and choices that create repeatedly this normal regardless of where I am.

Do I need a New Normal?

The normal we carry inside is so strong so that, even when we hear something good and exciting about a new normal, we may be excited and motivated for a while, but when we are asked to make a step out into the new environment, we make all kinds of excuses not to – we become afraid to change what we are used to – accustomed to, no matter how bad or average it is.

Tell your friend about a new business opportunity; show them what it will mean to them, their children and family. Show them how it will change their life . . . they become excited and want in BUT big problem, to get in, they will have to CHANGE lifestyle by saving 30% of their monthly income for 6 months – ask them to sign up TODAY and listen to the excuses they will pour out.

The problem is not lack of time, capital or inspiration; the issue is, they will have to WALK OUT of the current NORMAL to a new normal and that is SCARY for anyone. Whether they will do it or not it will depend on how TIRED they are of the current normal and determination to change it.

Where does determination come from? how deep they have been immersed in the new normal INSIDE.

So What?

Is your current normal serving you? Do you enjoy the life you live? are you able to meet your need and have enough money and time to serve others? Would you be happy to pass on this 'normal life' you have to your children and children's children?

Want to Change?

To create a new normal, simply visualize and enunciate the normal you would like to live. Cut out from newspaper or download from Internet images of the new normal you want to adopt, speak about this new normal (first to yourself – in the mirror) several times daily.

 

TV commercial is the best illustrations how we are hooked to fall in love with a new product and buy it. They show in the telly a new product and what it can do, they get a person you like to hold it and use it and say something nice about it…they show you this commercial over and over and over until you walk in the supermarket you buy the product – they have influenced your choice by shifting your comfort zone using the way we are designed.

As you 'visualize' the new normal you want and 'hear' it (with emotions), soon your mind begins to adopt it as a desirable, safe and comfortable place to be AND will begin to allow you to see and act on opportunities that will create that new normal for you.

This is why, for example, if you decide you want to buy a certain car, you see it more often than before. it is not that there are more of them on the road, but because you have decided this type of car is important to your future…you mind allow you to see them everywhere you go.

The same goes to opportunities and connections; imagine how many opportunities you do not see every day because you have not decided on the new normal you want to create.

…you are a thought, vision and sound away from the new normal to become your experience.

PhD - SignPosts 2 DreamLife

SignPost - a sign giving information such as the direction and distance to a nearby town, typically found at a crossroads; warning, instruction such as speed or alert pedestrian crossing ahead.

Imagine you are driving on a busy public road, full of cars, cyclists and pedestrians but there are no road rules, you can drive any side and speed, there are no road marks or road signs – would you feel safe? What chance do you have in arriving at your destination in one piece?

Imagine again you are driving in a foreign city and you arrive in a major intersection where the motorway splits into four major highways – but there are no overhead signs to tell you which one leads to where (and you have no GPS – Navigation Equipment in your car)…frustration is the word that comes to mind.

It is not enough to drive safely; you have to drive in the right direction. This is why we have road signs and road marks.

Road rules, signs and marks are there to instruct, direct, inform and warn all road users with safety and security as the primary aim. They are there to guide all road users so that each can reach their destination safely.

As we travel in life towards our destiny, DreamLife, to live a life as we would like to live – and life as we were intended to live; along the route the almighty (universe for others) has placed road signs and road marks for everyone so that they act as our guide and safe guard to our intended destination.

Failure to read, understand and abide by the life road signs and road marks will lead to delays in arriving to your destination or end up in a wrong destination all together.

The following are what I believe to be the three major road signs [PhD – Peace, Happiness, Delivery] to DreamLife:

1. Peace – inner calmness

Peace as a signpost to DreamLife is not absence of battles and struggles, it is rather a product of inner assurance, inner knower, that comes from knowing you are at the right place and are doing the right thing. It transcends from a soul that is not conflicted on what it is becoming in the process of what it is doing.

When you teach, you become a teacher – educator, one that brings lights to those in darkness.

When you mentor, you become a coach – guide, counselor, trainer, instructor and a teacher.

When you steal, you become a thief – crooked, bent in mind and spirit, violator of others

Are you at peace, deep down inside, in what you become out of what you do? Do you find rest at the end of a busy and hard day doing what you do? If not, re-evaluate, your soul is communicating to you that you have missed a turn.

Judas traded (betrayed Jesus Confidence) for 30 pieces of silver; he thought he had a good deal. In the end he threw the money away and killed himself – he had no peace in the person he had become, he had become a traitor.

Always strive to go to a place where you are at peace in what you do and what it makes you become…money or no money, fame and power or not…are you in peace within?

2. Happiness – Fulfillment and Satisfaction

Travel back to the place and time where you were most happy. If you examine the root cause of your happiness, you will discover it was a result of deep fulfillment and satisfaction at the time. Fulfillment and Satisfaction is a product of being and doing what is right at the time and place.

Nobody likes to stay in an environment where they are not happy; we are designed to function properly when happy. We are designed to always seek things and places that makes us happy the most – the tragedy is, we don't realize, to be truly happy, we must be and do who we were meant to be.

When you feel sad (unhappy, unfulfilled and unsatisfied), take a closer look…you must have wondered away from your path to DreamLife. Always strive to surround yourself with people, places and productive activities that takes you back to a happy place, without infringing the happiness of others – of course.

3. Delivery – Competence and ProVision

We know something is wrong when a car won't move; we clearly understand a plane needs fixing when it runs speedily along the runway but would not lift off the ground…why? They would not function the way they are designed to. No sane person takes a car to the garage for not flying, it will be absurd and that person will need to see a Doctor.

Delivery as a road to DreamLife signpost is a function of design, input and output. A brand new plane will need fuel and a competent pilot to fly, right? Likewise, a brand new no squabble car needs fuel and a driver to move.

Competence and Productivity [Producing] (or lack of it) is a clear sign either we are not doing the right thing or we are doing the right thing in a wrong way or we are doing the right thing in a right way at a wrong place and or time. When you are competent and there is no productivity i.e. you solve problems but there is no money? STOP and reconsider your approach.

When you become competent at delivery of something i.e. solving a certain problem, two things happen. ONE: You attract those who NEED your competence and, TWO: You attract those who will PROVIDE for your competence. If neither of these happens, consistently over a good period, you need to STOP and re-evaluate.

Conclusion:

When you are in Peace and Happy in what you do and who you are becoming as a result of what you do, AND, you deliver Competence and Productivity. Rest assured, given time, you will arrive at the place you have designed – a DreamLife as you desire.

Generational Thinking

When I look at my father and my father's father, I see many choices that they made which, has huge impact on my life today. My great great grandfather decided to move from South – West Kenya to North – Eastern Tanzania, which essentially translated for me (160 years later) being a proud Chagga from Tanzanian as opposed to a Taita from Kenya. Sometimes I wonder what my life and my children's life would have turned out to be had he (great great grand father) not made that decision.

My father was working as a missionary in Nakuru Kenya, back in 1976 he decided to relocate to Dar Es Salaam Tanzania; the result, I grew up in Dar – made friends I made, went to schools I went, had experience I had and here I am today . . . my childhood and consequently my children's childhood came down from my father's choice to raise us up in Dar, Tanzania.

Today, we have many people, particularly men, who make life changing decisions in an impulse not knowing it will remain in the family for generations to come – be it positive or negative.

What decision are you making today which will have a significant impact in your life and that of the generations to come. Think about a business you are thinking to start, a company you are building or about to build, a school, college or family.

Critically I think the most important decision which you need to make are 1. Profession, 2. Career, 3. Life Partner, 4. Geographical Location to live, 5. Association|Affiliates...in light to YOUR CONTRIBUTION to the Society.

I would love for EVERY person to do at least one thing in a lifetime that will remain a memorial to the generations to come. Something that will cause the next generation to say, we are happy this person went before us and paved the way for us.

But here you are, thinking only about your car, your job, your house, your wife and your children…shame on you if you die having only provided for just those!

What are you going to be, do and have as a seed for generations to come?

Are You Common Man?

Recently, opposition party parliamentarians said, "the current budget will create uncommon hardship to a common man". I began to think, if this is true, then should we change the budget or change the common man? Which one is possible, easier or sustainable – changing the budget or change the common man? Who is this common man?

Who is a common man?

Merriam Webster Dictionary defines a common man (commoner) as, "person lacking class or rank distinction or special attributes". Other dictionaries defines a commoner as "a person of average means and life". Another definitions, I am told is, "a person with no significant contribution to the society".

I think I like best the definition that placed a common man as a man of average means and life. Why would a person remain common if being that brings nothing but pain and suffering? 

I believe it is because – this person has chosen to remain average:

-Average Thoughts: Self, Survival, Me, Myself, My Family

-Average Dreams: Enough resources to live average life

-Average Learning: Just enough to be able to do my work

-Average Actions: The bare necessary to get by

-Average Results: Predicated by the action

Are Common men born or made?

If you take a commoner being a person with average life – leading to little or no significant contribution to the society, then I believe it is safe to say that some people are born common (though they don't have to die common) and some become common by virtue of their actions or lack thereof.

You can substitute the word common with poor and you will still be describing the action of a common man. The illustration below depicts 10 things that common (average)[poor] people do. Do any of these and you can guarantee your stay in commoner status.

How do you defect from being common?

How do you defect from the commoner status? Follow the advice of Steve Harvey, he said, "watch what poor (common) people do and swear not to do it, ever"

You can (we ought to) create a plan (begin with a vision, dream) followed by strategy to navigate from commoner status to uncommon status.

In addition to NOT doing what common (poor) people do, here is what you will need to BE and DO if you will get a transfer from commoner world to un-common men island:

1. You will need to have un-common DREAM,

2. You will need to have un-common FAITH,

3. You will need to have un-common MENTOR,

4. You will need to have un-common ACTIONS, and,

5. You will need to have un-common PERSISTENCE.

SEE you at the Unc-common men Island.

You Don't Belong Here!

A man walked into a concourse of a premium exclusive banking hall in New York and casually strolled towards the available Teller; half-way to the window, the security and the bank hallway supervisor grabbed him and pulled him to the side door – he was clearly out of place from the way he was dressed, surely a man dressed in a cheap suit and shoes, carrying an old suitcase like him could not be one of their customers, after all they are a premium exclusive bank. With that in mind, he was

shown, rather shoved, into the exit side door quickly so as to avoid other customer's look of disdain and embarrassment.

As he strolled out, he turned around, removed a shabby hat and showed them his ID. It was Mr Henry Ford (Founder – Owner of Ford Motors); he was their No.1 customer, banking more than half of the other customers combined. Long story short, Mr Ford changed bank despite numerous apologies from the bank.

I must admit, Mr Ford was a bit unfair because it is a reality of life that people will judge you FIRST by your external appearance. BUT, again it is a powerful lesson to us all that – though we tag and label people initially by outward appearance, we should not stop there, find out more – dig a little deeper. Just because he is in an expensive suit, does not mean he is a genuine businessperson, he could be a bank robber or a conman.

But I want to go a little deeper, I would like to propose that we search inward and see how many times we have written ourselves out based on the way we look today or in the past. We idolise others we see on TV, Internet and Newspaper – we compare them to our present and past and we tell ourselves "we don't belong" to that class and we shove ourselves out.

Pay attention to the inward dialog that you have when you encounter someone or something that you feel is Superior to you. What do you tell yourself? Do you disqualify yourself from the race even before you begin to run it? Remember, you lose 100% of the race that you don't run, but if you run, even when you don't win the first place you may get consolation prize and get the experience to run better next time – who knows.

The most detrimental force is not from others telling us where we don't belong; the most powerful force comes from within when we tell ourselves that we don't belong. When we reach a place where we already have convinced ourselves that we don't belong, it does not matter anymore - no amount of inspiration or motivation will help. At this moment, the only hope that you have comes from Education - enlightenment - someone to help you see from within.

 

My intention today is to inspire you to think before you say, "I don't belong", how many times you have said inwardly, I don't belong with people who have incredible wealth; I don't belong with people who have wonderful marriages and family; I don't belong with people who have more money than the can spend in their entire life; I don't belong with people who are learned…and with that you walk away from their presence and deny yourself the opportunity to get what you know you earnestly desire.

The fact that you see and desire those things, it is a proof that there is something in you that says – we belong with that, give it a go – besides you have nothing to lose, since even if you lose, you gain experience and wisdom.

My Counsel?

Get Closer to the people who have what you desire, clearly they know and do something you don't. Pay the Price it takes to Learn and Apply the Knowledge from them and for heaven's sake, Stop Idolizing and Worshipping them – give them their due respect but remember they are just like you but with little knowledge and experience that you need.

Blessing Your Way

POWER in the SPOKEN WORD!

Blessing and Curses – are Words

When you curse someone, you utter words that carries certain meaning and consequently create whatever the word was sent to create – both in the mind and eventually in the physical realm. Likewise, when you bless someone, you speak words that carries the spirit behind the word and inevitably create the world that the word was intended to.

When you take public office, you are forced to take an oath i.e. you swear (speak words of intention). When are summon to court, you have to swear. When you take a partner in marriage, you have to swear before God and men. When you get a job inter-view what do you do? Words, words, words – why is this?

We begin to speak before we can read or write; if you cannot speak, you learn how to use sign language or written words, one way or another – the universe around us forces us to use words to inter-act with one another physically and also to inter-act with the creator of the universe through what we call Prayer – utterance of words.

So what are these so called words?

a word is a specific combination of alphabet aimed at conveying a thought from one entity to another, usually received in image form.

When I say "Cat" what did you see? the letters C-A-T or the image of a cat? what if I say Black Cat, did you see it? again let's try, "fatty black clean cat" you saw it, right?

YES, we now understand that words carries images – and more importantly, words carries emotions. When someone you like says, "I love you", there is a tingly warm feeling running down your spine, right? what about when someone you like say, "I hate you", or your boss say, "I hate your guts" how about that?

But today I want to add one more entity – words can be used to carry a spirit (influence) from one person to another. This is what happens when you curse or bless someone. You use words to transfer a spirit that enables or dis-ables the intended recipient.

The most POWERFUL word is the one that we tell ourselves and believe it. The words that we talk ourselves to believe have crippled many otherwise powerful people.

How often have you told yourself "I can't do that'', "I am not like them", "They are powerful", "They come from privileged background", "I am not educated enough or rich enough", "I am ugly", "I am short", "Who do you think you are".

…and with that, we remove ourselves from the platform; little do we understand we have lost 100% of the venture we don't try. We don't want to be disappointed, we fear failure and shame for failing; even when we hear our heroes how they failed 1,000 times before they made it, we talk ourselves into believing they are different and special – it cannot happen to us.

Solution Words:

Here is what I propose you do, begin to audit what you tell yourself; better still every morning – talk yourself into being someone or acquiring something you have always wanted. I know you say, how can I tell myself something that I don't believe in? This is the beauty of words – keep on telling yourself what you DESIRE and WANT and  you will eventually BELIEVE and naturally MOVE towards it.

Tell yourself "I am beautiful, handsome", "I am courageous", "I am married with three children", "I am healed", "I am a CEO of International Firm", "I am Powerful and Influential", "I am the best there is in xxx", "I am an asset in my family, community and my nation", "I am that I am", "I am a deliverer to someone", "I am a problem solver and I am making millions helping people"

When we speak these words, they CREATE at the beginning a little cloud but as you continue to speak it to yourself and later to a confidant and eventually a group of people – IT SHALL BE AS YOU SAY!

Kiss Your Own Frog

Story is told (Old English Folklore) of a prince whose evil auntie turned him to frog so that her son (auntie's son) could inherit the Kingdom; the myth continuous to tell that the only way to turn the

boy back from frog to human was a genuine passionate kiss from the right girl at the right time and place.

A few months later, an orphan girl mourning the loss of her parents came to fetch water at the pond, she sees the frog and stretch her hand to catch it; when she does, she leans forward to kiss the frog as she be mourns her parents. To her surprise, the frog instantly turned to a handsome young man . . . long story short she became the Queen of a wealthy King.

The moral of the story is, you have your frog out there waiting to be kissed. You may have kissed many frogs that did not turn to prince charming – it does not mean the right frog for you is not there, you keep searching (caution: beware of poisonous frogs).

What is your frog – it is that something you give your Passionate Touch and it turns into a Wonderful Success – it may be a Business, Career, Employment, Charity, Entrepreneurship . . . it's your frog, find it. 

There is something unique to you, something that when you (and only you) touch it with your passion, it evolves into a magical sensational adventure flourishing with success.

I wish I could tell you exactly where you frog is; I wish there was a short cut to finding one's frog. Bu, the truth of the matter is, all we get in life are clues towards the pond where our frog is. 

I would like to share with you what I believe are the Clues, road Marks if you will, to Signal if you are in the right path towards your frog or not.

Clue 1: Passion

Are you passionate in what you are doing? Does it give you goose bump, peace, joy and satisfaction even when it leads not to money, power or fame? If what you do is a mundane task just to pay bills, go back in-ward and ask yourself – what is it that I am passionate about? You will never succeed (be creative and innovative) doing something you hate.

Clue 2: Competence

Ask yourself, when people call you for advice, solution to their challenge or problem, what is it that they seek from you? We go to a Doctor when we are sick, we go to Lawyer for legal advice. There is something people see in you, which keeps bringing them back to you, what, is it? Find it, Cultivate it, sharpen and raise the standard to the highest level you can.

Clue 3: Favour

What you do and where you do it is crucial. Doing the right thing at a wrong time or place is catastrophic. Pay attention to a place where you see favour towards you and what you do – your frog is not far from where you are liked, loved and favoured. When you or what you offer is rejected – consider, most probably you are not where you should be.

Follow these three clues and you will soon meet your frog; when you do – kiss the heaven out of it – do it with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and what it turn to a wealthy King and you inherit a wealthy Kingdom designed for you and you only.

Mzee – Unatuachaje?

Every time I visit our shamba, just about time I leave the shamba, shamba boy – if I have not given him anything – he would ask me, as I walk into my car, "Sasa Boss Unatuachaje?" literal translation – "Boss, how do you leave us?" meaning, I should not leave them without some means to improve their livelihood in the shamba in my absence.

I thought about this one day as I was leaving the shamba, one day on my death bed, my children, grandchildren, friends and relative will look me in the eyes as I am about to leave this earthly existence into a better world, they will have the same question to me, "Timothy, HOW do you leave us?"

I want to pause this very same question to you Sir, Madam, Young and Old . . . what will your answer be when your time come to exit this earthly world when you are asked, "How do you leave us – Madam|Sir?" would you have the guts to smile and tell a tale of the legacy you are leaving behind?

I would like to inspire you, regardless of where you are, to begin to think of what you are going to leave behind when you time is up – when your name is called to be absent from the body and be presented before the Almighty God, have you thought and began to prepare your legacy for the generation that is going to come after you?

No Regrets – this is the life I have chosen to live; that at the end of my life I will have no regrets.

For this reason, I will not allow fear of what would people think, fear of people, fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of unknown stop me…I am here to do one thing and one thing only – live my life to the fullest – in service to those that I am called to be their servant.

_hire a car? return in a better state vs state you took it earlier on,

_tenancy ended? I leave that house in a better condition vs you found it,

_when I leave a hotel room likewise? do you leave mess or order?

_when you leave someone's presence, are they better off vs before you met?

The philosophy is LEAVE every-thing and every-place in a better state than the way you receive it. When you leave the world – those close to you, will they say you have left them better off or worse than before you entered their Lives?

So, question – UTATUACHAJE when your time is up?

Create a New Normal Today!

– WHAT is Normal?

Normal is what we have accepted as Okay, usual and|or typical but more importantly normal is what is Expected, other factors considered, normal is what is typically agreed to be a standard considering what it is, place, people and environment around it.

For instance, it is normal, in some places (and usually expected and contingency set for it) for people to be late while in other places it is not normal and never tolerated. Same thing, normal in one setting and outright offensive in another.

WHERE do we get our DEFINITION of NORMAL?

Usually we look back (past and present) to decide what is normal and what is not. If we all had one eye, a person with two eyes will appear to be not normal and perhaps a monster – but today two eyes are normal and one is not.

The sad thing with normal is, once we accept the 'normal' that has been handed down to us; we resign inwardly, "this is the way it is supposed to be", we think and never question it or raise a finger to try and change it. Whatever it is, will remain that way until kingdom come.

Here are a few things that we objectively call 'normal':

-normal to need (your) money to make more money,

-poor performance in school = poor performance in life,

-normal income, given my education, qualification and experience,

-not having own money is reason for being poor, broke and broken,

-feeling inferior towards those with more money, power or education,

-believe only what we see with natural eyes – discredit everything else,

-not attempting (thubutu) what others haven't done or done but failed,

-kazi ya Mungu haina makosa:: God's doing is without fault|error

Ask yourselves this, how many things have you accepted as normal and resigned to that fate? Even right now you are struggling in your mind and thoughts of things you believe are normal and should be left alone.

But what if what you call normal is not normal but it is what it has been made to be? what if what you resigned to be can actually change if you "change your mind"? You can have your own normal – separate from everyone else, you know!

HOW does one CHANGE his/her NORMAL?

We change our normal by replacing old normal with a new normal – beginning with a thought, belief, word and action. 

Normal means comfortable, acceptable and expected…so when I change what is comfortable, acceptable (tolerated) and expected of me, I acquire a new normal. We cannot change anything we tolerate. . . normal is our "comfort zone", if you are comfortable in your current comfort zone...that's it, you are done...it starts with rejecting the current normal and embracing the new normal.

For instance, if it is normal for you to fall sick (or be broke) every other day; start by being "uncomfortable" with this norm, begin telling (speak loudly to) yourself hourly and daily, "I am healthy and wealthy, this is my norm" [hint: do not affirm what you don't want, speak and affirm what you WANT as if it is already in and with you - that is faith]

If you keep (persistently) telling yourself of this new normal - with intensity and passion, eventually you will believe it and more importantly you will begin to SEE Doors of OPPORTUNITIES (ideas and connections) that you will need to ACT upon to change your status quo and walaaa a new Normal appear.

How long this will take to materialize for you will depend on how PASSIONATE you have become in HATING, DISGUST of your current normal and ability to SEE inwardly your NEW normal as ALREADY in place. The more intense the passion the quicker the result...but direct your passion in SEEING yourself in possession of the new norm than in dreading the current norm.

Try it today . . . begin your journey of changing your normal!
