When silence matters

You may have noticed that I have maintained a silence for some time now…. yes, i had gone some degrees lower. But the sun arose.

You may have also missed me since some friend who is a good follower here called to inquire what had happened.

Let’s be clear, silence really matters.

While I was in my cacoon trying to rethink my existence, I was planning for this site soothing very interesting and with all of you in mind.

I was really asking myself difficult questions because I at some point had to jump into your shoes so that I understand you better.

Were you discouraged?

I hope not since in my silence I was able to bump into a friend’s post that changed my life completely to the better. Check it out here https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/cmketay/blog/we-are-all-real-estate-moguls/a_aid/84f24074

I had posted just before the silence that I had joined wealthy affiliates, and you know what?

That is where all my attention had shifted to since I had targets and milestones to accomplish. I am now a better writer, better blogger, better affiliate and want to encourage someone today….

Join wealthy affiliate training today and you shall never regret.

Look here, for my colleagues, we all were anxiously waiting for our fate and we we challenges each other in the earlier posts that life must indeed continue.

But how? Someone would quietly ask…

Look here, life is not all about that contract. As a passionate writer and blogger, I realized that many successful and healthy people on Earth have avoided anything that would bring stress, how?

Well, besides 8am-5pm job contracts, you can even make more money with online businesses which don’t require you to be so stressed about reports, targets, termination etc. One of them is WA affiliate marketing.

What I had not told you is that you are trained to be an online entrepreneur and you apply the skills as you go on and sometimes the lucky ones have earned as they continue.

Now you see, this is the meaning behind, “when silence matters”.

Take that important step today, my friend Christine from https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/cmketay/blog/we-are-all-real-estate-moguls/a_aid/84f24074 puts very well, you are a real estate mogul, go for it!

The fading silence, pure good news!

It is the most difficult time in the life of every living thing. It is even worse with human beings especially contract employees when waiting for the lifetime decision about fate of their future employment contract terms. The decision brings about major turning points and should be received positively however hard. It has happened, it is happening and it will still happen.

Therefore, the most important thing is how you handle yourself during the wait. It determines everything psychologically, physically, socially and even Spiritually. Here, i share some tips on how to survive during the dark period.

1. Pray over the anxiety and don’t allow it to engulf you.
2. Stay calm and do not panic because it could be very dangerous. Suicide should never cross your mind.
3. Be familiar with yourself and acknowledge what you are feeling is real.
4. If possible, document your thoughts or share them with someone close
5. Believe in yourself and list or share all the positive things that you know define you and your accomplishment.
6. Give your mind a walk down the memory lane by sharing with colleagues the most memorable experiences since you signed the contract
7. Keep your mind Busy; remember an empty mind is the devil’s workshop. Engage yourself in activities that reduce stress
8. Think outside the box for a minute; imagine if it were you, how would it be? what’s your financial status? Did you invest? If not, have a clearly laid down plan for the benefits you will get
9. Have a quiet time; Just take time and reflect, the mirrored image is very important.
10. If it is finally you, be positive and focus ahead. It’s never the end.

Quote of the Day…..

“You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens “
– Mandy Hale

If only it were our wish…..

The early March 2019 US order to cut on the funding supporting the different partners concentrating on different USAID indicators has caused a cold in the stomach for the employees and rendered the employers helpless. In as much as implementing partners would love to retain the able workforce of professionals, hired competitively; the budgets can no longer hold it. But if only it were their wish……..

The mental torture that the employers are currently undergoing is unimaginable. Sleepless nights are common as they ponder on the many hardworking staff who were once very responsible going back to square one is traumatizing. I can never imagine being in any of the Chief of Party’s shoes now or in the coming few months. They are undergoing much torture deciding on how to cut the number of employees “downsizing” to fit the lean but demanding budgets. This is what I mean……….The axe was merciless!

Many people including the staff, their friends and relatives do not understand what happened. Some are speculating and even ignorantly making insensitive comments. Let’s decamp shortly and see what the “order” aimed at in reality.

“For two years we have seen the administration call for an increase in burden sharing from other donors, but we have yet to see a coherent strategy of how a lower budget request results in increased burden sharing.”

– Megan Doherty, senior director of policy and advocacy, Mercy Corps

Megan was as worried as most of the Africans are right now. Let’s wait and see how it unfolds. But…..

The budget cut axe which aimed at low budget pieces did not mind how many “mouths” were to be affected. It leaves even a bigger question, is it baking another bigger problem? We shall re-visit….

Taking an example of Kenya, USAID has been here for more than 50years , strengthening institutions; preserving natural resources; and improving the lives of Kenyans through better healthcare, education and economic opportunities https://www.usaid.gov/kenya .

We happened to fall under the “Improvement of lives through better healthcare “and that’s the focus of this blog. USAID support began generally in 1972 but 1995 marked its support for Kenyan government to fight against HIV Pandemic. This has been the largest share of the US support to Kenya since then.

USAID Launched PEPFAR support in 2003 and partners were invited to submit proposals on how to implement the support strategy. With APHIA as the genesis of partner implementation, many other organizations and consortium came in and integrated HIV with other Chronic diseases https://www.usaid.gov/kenya/global-health.

While the budget cut conversations were commencing, the estimates of the Kenyans living with HIV by April 2019; both adults and children was 2.6M with 1.5M being adults while 1.1 were children https://www.usaid.gov/documents/1860/controlling-hivaids-epidemic. However, with the US support for over 16years, it was expected that the government had been mentored well enough to take over HIV management.

There are many implementing partners in Kenya supporting HIV including local Community based organizations thematically addressing components within HIV Care. The leading implementing coverage is for over 150 thousand people of the HIV population in Kenya which equally requires a big workforce!

The US budget cuts affected the partners differently whereby some received 90% cut offs while others received at least 35% with additional coverage scope. This immediately called for partners to lay off staff accordingly to be able to afford their implementation responsibilities. Some partners have already implemented as per the ordered while others are still in shock thinking, “If only it were our wish…”.

It has been hard, it has been daunting, it has been so harsh but it sure must happen or else otherwise. With the budget cut ratios, strategies to ensure that painfully they lay off will be applied and most contracts will be ended by the end of October 2019.

It is indeed painful but i believe the most haunting imagination of all implementing partners is, if only it were our wish…….. buts it’s never the end!

How to Control Emotions

What a wonderful way of practicing patience! Bravo #RisingStar

The price of Patience….

I candidly read through Proverbs 14:29 “Whoever is patient has great understanding” and come to understand why many short tempered people never have peace. There is a great reward in practicing patience for it doesn’t just come. Or rather, patience is not a gift that everyone understands. I was lucky this morning to be a beneficiary of Patience and thus want to challenge someone today too;

1. What if you chose today to just hold back and listen before you react…?
2. What if you extended the same to someone else however angry they cause you to be?
3. Why not gain understanding today and live at peace with everyone?

It makes me understand too well that the reason as to why there is disharmony in the society. The reason as to why marriages are on the verge of breaking, why fathers are fighting with their children, why mother’s don’t want to be kind to their rowdy teenagers, why neighbors are fighting and filing cases over that noisy cock in early mornings, the list is endless…..

The solution is very simple….. practice patience for it will give you understanding.

“I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature”. – Paulo Coelho

It’s never the end……..

It comes with shock, confusion, many questions without answers but that’s a reality;

Contracts must end!

Maybe we can start with the basic concepts at hand.

What is an employment contract?
The Employment Dictionary defines it and i quote, ” Agreement between an employer and an employee. It is typically voluntary, deliberate, and legally enforceable, therefore, binding. The employee must agree to this contract as a condition of his/her employment. Employment contracts cover a variety of procedures and/or policies that are required for the employer to protect its own interest. The contract often states a time frame inhibiting the employee after they leave the company, from working for a competitor or in a similar industry. This section is often contested in the courts”. It is therefore evident that contracts end!

We usually feel good when we sign the start of the contract but it becomes a thorn in the flesh to sign off the contract. Is this familiar with you? Either way, we must not waste our time crying over a contract that has been swept by the wind but positively look ahead and re-strategize; Life must continue. It’s never the end!
