My Aha week!

So it's reflection time when I didn't even know what it meant. This new year has surely started in a big bang eventhough part of me still feels like I'm holiday. Well the comforting thought is that my wife and I have really seen the benefit of a premium DSTV package since we're so avid movie fanatics.

But the last week has surely rocked my world for a lack of a better saying. I was chosen for work leadership programme and I've loved every minute of it. This was not about numbers or tools to be effective but rather about taking the time to discover oneself with an expert guiding you every step.

I realise that there's so many gaps in my perception on alot of issues eventhough I thought I had pretty good lateral thinking. I got to find out that I worry too much about the future that I stop living the present moment and so miss the opportunities for future growth. I realise that I don't accept compliments well because I fear having the image of a bad boy. I realized that I can choose every actions and in so doing choose my behavior in that action even when most will be critic of that situation.

It is quite clear that there's some changes I need to make both my life at work. How I interact with my colleagues and not be afraid to initiate or implement change.

The journey begins now...

Such inner peace is the foundation of authentic behaviour that is not corrupted by compliance with fears, doubts and the corrupted opinion of others. The inner self is a world of self-discovery where the age old question is asked: Who am I? It is the world of seeking after the divine heritage that beats in our souls. The inner self is where we find the c...

My trip back to Europe in ONE word (Part 1/2) - Coronavirus

It was a normal working day on a hot and usually dusty afternoon in Yaounde when I got the call to come and collect my Visa for my upcoming trip to Italy. I was elated. It had been 17 years since I had last seen my foster aunts and cousins. I was beside myself.  I distinctly remember my trip back to wish my father goodbye and how emotional I was because I knew that somehow I will not see him for a long while. I remember the bus trip back to Yaounde and how surreal it all felt (especially since there was a job interview lined up in Munich).   Me on the bus (in the middle of nowhere) on my way back to Yaounde. Clearly I was too excited to sleep (like someone next to me). I was already missing my lovely Cameroon. On the news, the coronavirus (covid-19) was beginning to show its ugly head in Italy and various other neighbouring countries. My aunt even told me to postpone my trip, but it was too late. I was already packed. Don't mess with a black man and his luggage! Me, mysel...
