Tick tock! Tick tock! The clock ticked, seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into days and the trend continued passively but alas! I finally put something into writing to share with you. Health and lifestyle have dictated much of 21st century ranging from homes, cars, career profession, parenting and so on. Leading a healthy lifestyle sounds easy, right? But think of the obstacles that try to divert your attention from having healthy meals, making healthy decisions, and even doing simple exercises. Your guess is, right it is a complex journey and well, @nairobi254 is here to walk with you, tell your stories and challenge you through inspiration. Many of us have been stuck or rather have the thirst to grow and to fully exploit our capabilities however the hurdles we face have been quite a setback. That said, S.G Buddha notes, the secret of health of both mind and body is not just to mourn for the past and not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
As a young adult, I have found myself visiting my past and all the mountains I’ve had to climb ranging from education, family, friends and the ever-demanding social life. Education has been and remains “Ufunguo wa Maisha” in the sense that whether you are in a classroom or with an apprentice you are learning a skill or two or more depending on your enthusiasm and motivation. As years pass by and with the aim of Sustainable Development Goals 4; Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote life-long learning opportunities for all, there remains a challenge in ensuring that everyone gets to a classroom and access modern education. You would ask yourself why I am dwelling on education, the answer is that education shapes our lifestyles. The day-in-day-out decisions, events and developments are all as a result of information we acquire from different platforms including peer education.
To be more precise, look around you then the outside world that surrounds you, what do you see? Education has helped improved the standards of living by helping to reduce poverty in that individuals like you and I have been prepared and well equipped with skills that we have utilised in our different environments to change lives. Education is an indicator of quality life even though we all may not have the same standard of living, it is unanimously accepted that education has an impact on the lifestyle of an individual. It is a basis for human civilisation and a major driver when it comes to economic development and growth. As we embark on this journey health and lifestyle blogging journey, remember, it is a give and take world sometimes you may give more than you receive or receive more than you give, the bottom line is your one plus my one brings a difference and dictates our lifestyles.
Be inspired! Be motivated! Be encouraged! Above all be challenged to be greater today than you were yesterday.
