In his song, "First Times", Ed Sheeran sings about living his long-standing dream of performing at Wembley Stadium. As a young artist, that was supposed to be his crowning moment, but when he finally stood on that stage, in front of 80,000+ fans, singing with his guitar, he realized that it wasn't the life-changing moment he thought it would be. The exact euphoria he expected to feel was nowhere to be found, and it left him questioning if he had missed something.
In his own words, Ed sings;

I thought it’d feel different playing Wembley.
Eighty thousand singing with me.
It’s what I’ve been chasing, this is the dream!

And did it feel any different from an ordinary show in a club?
~Not really!
I am moved by his confession because it is in a way an echo of our own experiences. Although the song basically revolves around the idea of appreciating little things in life, still many of us have had our versions of Ed’s Wembley, a long-awaited desire that consumes our thoughts and actions. That one thing we've always dreamt of having and worked tirelessly towards, thinking it will change our lives forever.
But when we finally get it…….
YES, we are HAPPY and PROUD but UNQUENCHED! And we begin to wonder what went wrong.

Hear me this day, there is definitely nothing mistaken as it is simply human nature, helping us to keep doing other things in life even after accomplishing what we thought we’d die for. Allow me to allegedly say that we're wired to enjoy the journey of achieving our goals and the thrill of the chase more than the actual outcome.

So, it's not that we are being ungrateful or that our desires were misplaced; it's just that we are happiest when dreaming. When our dreams become a reality, we lose the excitement, and our minds start searching for new ones. It is this never-ending cycle of dreaming and achieving that makes life worth living.

I am writing this to encourage anyone out there. Please don’t stop chasing your Wembleys because some past Wembleys did not feel so Wembleyish when you got a hold of them. The truth is, no one’s Wembleys ever felt that Wembleyish either, even Ed’s!

Whenever you feel disheartened after scoring the goal you've always wanted, just take it as a sign that it is the right time to start dreaming again. After all, who knows what new Wembleys you'll discover along the way?!

A timeless reminder it is,
Life is having something to look forward to!

001.MWANZO

🌄 Mwanzo . [WaShaRaRaaA,Picha Linaanza....🎥😂] Si mwanzo kwa maana ya kuanza ila kwa maana ya hatua mpya katika muendelezo. Kwa mfano,tunaambiwa kuwa wakati fulani Mungu aliumba mbingu na dunia: na tumeamua kuutambua wakati huo kama ndio mwanzo. Lakini tunaamini kuwa alishakuwepo tangu milele. Au wapendanao wanaoridhia kuoana baada ya kipindi kirefu cha kuchumbiana.Unakuwa ndio mwanzo wa ndoa yao japo tunafahamu kwa hakika kuwa wanahadithi kabla ya siku ile. Kwa hiyo mwanzo huu pia ni mwanzo kama huo. Haujaanzia hapa. N iseme nimekuwa nikiandika-andika kwa muda mrefu kidogo.  Nimeandika hadithi, makala fupi, mashairi na risala.Kama unamchumba ambaye ni rafiki yangu,inawezekana kuna barua uliwahi kuipokea kutoka kwake na kumbe niliiandika mimi😂 na namdai hajanilipa!💔. Juzi,nikaamua nianze kuandika machapisho yatakayokaa mtandaoni na ndio ukawa  mwanzo wa Blog hii. Ninapenda kuandika.Ninaona kunanipa nafasi ya kutazama maisha kwa karibu zaidi:jinsi yanavyopita na kutembea hu...

"Moto hauzai moto;Huzaa majivu" Uhitaji wa huduma ya matibabu ya kupangilia meno unazidi kushika kasi duniani. Sasa ni kitu cha kawaida kupishana na kijana aliyevaa Braces mdomoni. Kwenye kitabu chao cha Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic ,  Bi.Sandra na Bw.Paul wanalitazamia suala hilo kama matokeo ya urahisi  wa kutafuna. Miaka mingi nyuma,meno ya binadamu yalikabiliwa na kazi kubwa ya kusaga vyakula vigumu.Baada ya watu kuongezeka ujanja, tumeweza kupika na kusaga misosi hadi ikawa laini kabisa. -Matokeo yake ?🤔 Meno na taya zilizotengenezwa kufanya kazi ngumu, hazifanyi tena hivyo. Zimebaki kuzubaa na hatimaye kuanza kuparaganyika kinywani. Wanyama wengine wafananao nasi,mathalan Nyani; hawapitii changamoto hiyo sana kwa sababu hawana uwezo wa kuinywa ndizi ikiwa katika umbo la mtori. Juhudi za binadamu kurahishisha kutafuna chakula, zinaishia kumuingiza gharama ya kutembea na vyuma mdomoni. Taratibu,tunaanza kuona kuwa urahisi katika maisha huja na ugumu wake.   U...

why such a long face? I am sorry to break the news but unfortunately, I don't have the desirable content for my audience. The blog is  struggling to remain relevant to the majority of its readers. Watu wengi wanaosoma  blog hii ,kwa sasa wanataka kusikia juu ya mambo ambayo sina uzoefu,busara wala mamlaka ya kuyazungumzia. Unajua, hadhira yangu kubwa ni watu na hasa marafiki zangu  nilionao  rika moja.... Sehemu kubwa ya rika hili, ndio inaanza rasmi kuingia kwenye  kipindi cha mashaka  maishani mwao. Kipindi  hiki  kimetawaliwa na tamaa za kutisha,mabadiliko ya kushangaza na maswali mengi yasiyo na majibu ya Ndio/Hapana. Si rahisi kuyajibu!   Nitapataje kazi?--Napataje pesa? Niki zipata  niwekeze kwenye nini? Nik a ishi mkoa/nchi gani? Nitajuaje mchumba niliyenae ananifaa?-Au nampataje ikiwa sina? Baada ya miaka kadhaa ya balehe kali iliyotuaminisha tunajua kila kitu na tusiambiwe chochote na yeyote; Kipindi cha mashaka kinapoingia,tuna...

016: SALA YA KUOMBA KIFO CHEMA.

📸 :Are Bad Omens Bad? K iimani, mimi ni Mkristo na katika sehemu fulani ya maisha yetu ya utoto, tunapaswa kuhudhuria mafunzo maalumu ya dini. Nadhani ni utamaduni wa kawaida maana hata wenzetu Waislamu huenda Madrasa. Nikiwa na miaka 10, nilikuwa katika mafunzo hayo na siku moja tukajifunza kuhusu  “Sala ya Kuomba Kifo Chema” Nilikuwa naifahamu sala ile. Nilishawahi kuisikia mara kadhaa nyumbani bali sikuwahi kuelewa hasa ni nini kinachoombwa. Siku tulipojifunza, ndio akili ikanifunguka na sikuhisi amani sana kuisali😒 Sasa ni zaidi ya miaka 10 imepita na hisia zangu hasi juu ya sala ile zimepungua makali lakini hazijawa butu. Huwa ninaisali kwa kujikunja kwani kuna namna inanifinya utumbo.   Kwenye utamaduni wa Kiswahili  kuna kitu kinaitwa Uchuro au Uchimvi. Hii ni pale unapofanya au kusema kitu kinachoashiria jambo baya hasahasa kufa. Kwa mfano, mkiwa mnakula pamoja na wenzako kisha ukajifanya umekabwa na kuanza kutapatapa. Wakifahamu unatania it is likely watakwambi...

Je wajua? Kuna kipimo rahisi cha kufahamu iwapo komwe lako ni Size Elekezi au LA! Yamkini limezidi au kupungua. Na uwezekano mkubwa ni hapo kwenye kuzidi😂 Of course,unahitaji kifaa ili kupima.Na kifaa hiko ni vidole vyako vya mkono.   📸:Kupima Komwe Kwa kawaida komwe la mtu huwa sawa na vidole vyake vinne vya mkono. Unaweza kutumia vidole vya mkono mmoja au vya mikono yote miwili,yaani kidole cha shahada na cha kati kwa kila mkono. Ukiona unaviweka kwenye komwe na nafasi pana inabaki, hapo ujue kuna dalili komwe lako limechukua nafasi kubwa zaidi ya inavyopaswa. Je,kipimo kimetibitishwa kisayansi?--Sijui. But we can enjoy for the fun of it!   📹:Tiktok Courtesy Miaka ya hivi karibuni,kumeongezeka utani mtandaoni kuhusu ukubwa wa makomwe: hasa kwa akina dada. It is all jokes and laughs until someone negatively begins to question her looks and genuinely wished they had a smaller forehead. Unajua kuna muda utani unamuingia mtu! 📸: Forehead Meme To avoid potential misunderstan...

ILA ufanye uki fahamu kwa hakika kuwa  kuna mawili. 1.  Tukupende,tukulipe na tukufanye uwe Super Star!⭐      AU 2.Tuishie kukushangilia na  kukupigia makofi halafu tusitoe hata thumni na tusikufuatilie tena. Unajua a nayetoa vipaji si mchoyo. Amehakikisha kuwa vipo vingi sana huku Duniani. Changamoto ni kuwa jamii haiwezi kumlipa na kumtukuza kila mwenye nacho😐 Huwa inachagua wachache wa mfano, inawapa hela na umaarufu kwa niaba ya wengine wanaopaswa kwenda kulima i li watu wale😋. I nauma,lakini kubali utakapodondokea. La sivyo utaishi maisha yako yote ukiwa na uchungu moyoni kuwa watu hawakusapoti au wa...
