THE KENDER BRAND

  Prior to this post, I had wanted to write an open letter about 2020 and how cruel it had treated me and everyone I know. However, after I had written it and upon editing I realized that 2020 had just 3 days left and I shouldnt be fussing over a year that is almost over, instead I should plan on making the coming year a better one. I have learnt quite aot in 2020 and those essons were instrumental in getting through the year and making some sort of head way even in the midst of crisis and all the turmoil. So here are my  5 ways to make 2021 supper successful in both your professional and presonal life. REVIEW THE PAST YEAR How did you fare in 2020 (professionally and personally)?

We sometimes get into a really bad mood either after having a conversation that didn’t end well, a work meeting that ended on a sour note, a bad hair or dress day or even having a bad mood that you have no clue at the moment as to why you feel so moody or sad.  These feelings can longer and end up ruining the whole day and disrupting a great opportunity for us to live this wonderful life. After the words “Once today goes by, you can NEVER get it back” sank deep into my consciousness and even my sub-consciousness, I take the most of each day and try to enjoy this life.  So here are my 5 ways to snap out  of a bad mode quickly.  1) Acknowledge the reason that put you in a bad mood. Now this is not the time to address it. It’s just for you to recognize that you are in a bad mood and what is causing it.  2) Change environment. Stepping away from the surrounding or change of scenery is the next best step to take if you want to get out of a bad mood. Remaining at the ...

It was barely noon as I could tell from the darkness that still engulfed the room and I was still seated at the same spot I had been for the last 8 hours. The liquor bottle was half empty and I couldn’t see well enough to notice exactly what the time said. The red light beeping on my phone was an indication of either missed calls or text messages I had to respond to but I had no strength for either.  I tried lifting my self from the chair but the headache I felt out weighed my urge to stand. I couldn’t keep up with this. This has been going on since I got back from work four days ago. The wordings of the letter still appeared to me like an apparition. The years I had put into working overtime, late nights, failed relationship due to a demanding job and even unplanned out of town trips were all in vain. Seated in a sweat drenched pajamas, 34, single and with no job.  As these thoughts kept flooding my mind, I felt more depressed, drowning and almost suicidal. I had no idea wher...

Re-living childhood, the globe of a lantern was as precious as a golden ornament that is not to be toiled with. I was the careless one out of the three kids my parents had so the revered duty of washing the globe was assigned to my elder sister and she did it diligently. Every evening at exactly 4pm, she would assemble the two lanterns we had and carefully washed the glasses which availed us the luxury of enjoying an unsteady flickering brightness  when power went off. She was not to be distracted as she carried out this duty so as not to break the glass. I was also smart enough to steer clear while she performed this ritual. Not even in my wildest dream did I imagine that this chore will ever pass by and not to be observed by kids now.  Lucky them some would say, but I say it’s a shame that they were not opportune to learn this lesson the lantern taught my sister and I.  Unknowingly to us, we learnt so much from the lantern that as the flashes of nights spent around the ...

Sleep has eluded me so many nights in a row. I stay up at night freely allowing my mind to wonder into depths that I could really never fathom. Sometimes I drift into sleeping and continue to ponder in my dreams, and sometimes the first ray of sunshine hits my face as I sip my coffee over just two hours of sleep  This night was specifically different. After gulping two cups of cold water, I paced around the living room asking myself this question......”what’s the next right step”?  I couldn’t really get an answer immediately, however it struck me that I may not be the only one in this fix at the moment. A whole lot has happened to the world in a space of 3 to 4 months and virtually everyone has been affected in one way or the other. It’s been a time of sober reflection for some, while for some it’s been a time to achieve a lot both financially and intellectually. I’ve been influenced majorly this period and in as much as I really never expected the outcome of this whole shift ...
