If you removed connections, human networks and relationships from the human race, you will definitely kill that race. It goes without saying. Connections are critical in life.
Whether we are seeking to connect intentionally or just going through life, there is no denying that any success we have in life is directly connected to connections. Let examine that theme in this new series.

Mental Health is no longer a buzzword that is attributed to Europeans and the affluent. Previously when we talked about health and wellness, we seldom addressed amicably matters related to mental illness.
Barbara Kalumba is a practitioner in this area, being part of the high leadership at Uganda Counseling Association. This conversation brings to a close the focus of the month on health, Wellness and fitness.
I had a conversation with Barbara on this topic and learned quite a bit as far as Mental illness is concerned and why all of us need to take steps to protect our mental health. Listen to this.

That great "P-word' has been responsible for making very many people, organizations and even entire countries to be successful. I kid you not.
When Singaporean leaders write a book about moving from third world to first world, you can be dead sure that they will talk about planning. It follows that a plan of any kind has the power to inject urgency in life. Listen to this.

There's the waiting for a crisis to strike before we wake up and become urgent in the issues of life. There is also the getting intentional and being in control of what we do with urgency.
To be intentional has some roots to it. They are not so many roots. Just a few but powerful and foundational roots. I discuss just three of the here as we summarize the series. Listen to this.

There's no successful person in any niche who lacked urgency. There's not a single person of purpose who lacked urgency either. Urgency is the common denominator here.
You can either wait for a crisis to pummel you before you amend your ways and become urgent or you can get intentional about it. One of the most obvious ways to be urgent in life is to be on mission and on purpose. Listen to this.

There are several areas of life that we need urgency in. One of those is about legacy and eternity. If we live well, our legacy goes way over into eternity. However, it is possible for legacy to end with the end of the age.
Nevertheless, it is important for us to approach our lives with an injection of urgency in this area. If not, chances are that we won't be as effective as we should. Listen to this.

We grow when we dare, when we risk. We might succeed or we might learn what it takes to succeed and why we didn't succeed. To dare and to risk ought to be part and parcel of our lives.
Therefore, injection of a bout of urgency in that area of life is important. It will most certainly help us to have more effective and productive lives and pursuits. Listen to this.

She leads by example. She is a success of the product she is championing. She has testimonies of many people that have had their health turn up in a wonderful curve of healing. Women that were over 50 years of age conceived not because it was the focus, but the added benefit of Alternative Medicine.
I was so enthralled with the conversation that I had with Christine Anyumel. She's the founder of Healing Naturally Together (HNT), an organization that helps people in more than three continents.
As we talk about health, fitness and wellness this month, I saw it fit to open up our understanding to Alternative Medicine. Listen to this wonderful conversation and share with everyone out there!

I can theorize, as usual, that if we are to be fulfilled in life, we have to have matters related to our spiritual lives sorted. Spirit is the core of human life. We get some answers in religion but when we compartmentalize life that way, we miss it.
In pursuit of urgency, we need to inject some of it on our spiritual arena. This concerns the direction we are taking, our purpose and what matters to us. When we are not urgent spiritually, the end result is lack of fulfillment. Listen to this.

The things we do for love and relationships are crazy at times, especially when the feelings are high. When we come down from the highs, the things we don't do for love and relationships, especially when feelings are not there end up being our undoing.
One respite here is injection of a tinge of urgency in our daily pursuits of relationships. Left alone, we wander around and drift apart until it's too late to salvage a relationship that's been taken for granted. Check this out.

Sometimes by the time a crisis hits us, it's already too late to be urgent. Urgency is needed in our lives from the get get go. Health matters need even more daily urgency because we only have one body.
Everything we do here on earth is done through the body. We cannot afford to wait until the body starts breaking down then we start talking about being urgent with our health. Listen to this.

"There's no hurry in Africa" is something that we have heard for quite a while now. If you visited Kampala from a smaller town in Uganda, you will feel like "life is so fast, people are in a hurry". When you go to Nairobi you get shocked.
That's before you visit Lagos or Washington D.C. I can tell you this: urgency in life doesn't necessarily denote activity all through. You can be at rest but also urgent. Listen to this.

I have always said that the most important statistic is 1. This represents your life as well as mine. Without that statistic, all the others are essentially useless. That's why in the month we are focussing on health, fitness and wellness.
Today's episode is special because our guest is a medical doctor but also a certified Functional Medicine practitioner, perhaps the only one of his kind in the region. This is one of the best conversations on the subject of wellness you can listen to. Listen to this.

There are two major Ways that urgency can be injected in our lives. I call the first way "natural" for you don't have to do anything. Life and it's setbacks and crises will help you with that. We probably cannot escape it, but one of the advantages of the crises is that we become urgent.
The second way is when we daily get intentional with our lives. Between the two, which one would you rather? You might need this reflection to made a decision. Listen to this.

No doubt that we live in a fallen black world. In this world, urgency can be injected on our lives by way of a crisis. You don't have to do anything but the crisis might find you. No matter what degree of crisis you find yourself in, it will almost always inject urgency in your life.
What matters the most is what we do AFTER the crisis is gone. What happens to our urgency? What happens to the tools of urgency that we just deployed to get out of crisis? Listen to this.

If we are effective in our lives we will have to inject a level of urgency in it. Without urgency in our lives, we are only leading mediocre levels of productivity but here is the thing: we won't even know about it.
We all know about urgency. Remember that time of crisis that came your way? It injected a level of urgency in your life. All of a sudden, you knew how to prioritize. Let's learn a thing or two about urgency in this new series.

The heart is one of the most neglected and jilted entities on earth. We are easier to believe the head than we believe the heart. Probably it is because we do not have "evidence" to back up what the heart says.
However, there is so much gain to follow our hearts in our purpose pursuits. Nevertheless, as we pursue our purpose, we need to be aware of several things so we can stay on course. Listen to this.

We need to learn one thing, that we cannot possibly do all that we have to do to deploy our purpose fully alone and by ourselves. Our hearts can give us a hint of the direction to take in life, but we need to be aware of other things.
Your purpose will not be deployed alone. You will need help and connection to get it fully done. Listen to this.

Following the heart is a plausible advise. After all, the issues of life revolve around the heart. Some people think it's unspiritual to follow the heart but that's not entirely true.
However, as you follow the heart, understand that there are some things that need to be processed by the head. The heart might not have evidence and might give directions that don't make sense. Still, learn to listen to it.

The most important statistic is 1, representing your life. Without it, all the other statistics are of no value to you. We need to be conscious of this fact and take good care of our bodies.
Some of the things regarding this are as obvious and as reachable to us as anything common. I am talking about the things we can do for our health and fitness.
Thankfully, we have been gifted by people like Riter Ceon who are passionate practitioners of health and fitness. I had a conversation with her concerning this and it was thoroughly enlightening. Listen to this.

I caught myself saying "the heart doesn't care how it's going to be done. The heart just wants it done". I do think it's a correct statement. That's why when you approach purpose with the head, it doesn't make sense at all.
Here's one thing we need to know: somehow the heart knows more than we do but doesn't tell us. The heart knows our passion might be huge but the head has no clue to what extent we will thrive. Listen to this.

The heart is the seat of our emotions. Out of the heart flow the issues of life. It is therefore important to take note of what feedback flows from there.
There is no human being that doesn't have the benefit of tuning into their heart and learn from there. For the most part, we have learned to tune off matters emanating from the heart because they are not empirical or cannot be measured.
That would be wrong. Listen to this.

We are normally admonished to follow our hearts but take our heads along. The fact of the matter is that we need balance. However, you can never underestimate the power and importance of the heart on the issues of life.
The heart is central to our purpose pursuit. We feel passion of what matters from the heart. We download feelings of fulfillment or even those of despair at the heart. It simply cannot be ignored in our purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

It is possible to discover our purpose by paying attention to the heart. Even though we have two conflicting scriptures talking about the heart, one cannot fail to see that the issues of life coalesce there.
What we get from the heart is crucial feedback that we can use to course correct. Amazingly, this beacon that is the heart keeps receiving and broadcasting purpose related feedback to us that we can use in our entire lives of purpose pursuit.

"Far much better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that neither knows victory nor defeat" ~ Teddy Roosevelt.

Happy New Month! Half the year mark is here. I am excited to embark on a new journey in our Wednesday's conversations because we have a new theme to tackle: Health, Fitness and Wellness. This is one crucial area in our purpose pursuits.
To start us off, I sought to speak to a fitness expert Eddie Okila in the conversation, you will learn exactly what made him venture into this area of passion. He is a man who wears many hats but you can easily see his passion for sports and fitness.
This conversation was sobering, enlightening as it was inspiring. You will love it. Listen to it on the link below.
