Why Chasing Skills Beats Chasing “Success Secrets”

Once upon a time, there was a young baker.

He wanted to bake the *perfect cake*. So he asked everyone for the best recipe.

One said, “Use 3 eggs.”
Another said, “No, 5 eggs!”
Another whispered, “The secret is sugar.”
Then someone shouted, “Follow my 20 steps and your life will change!”

The baker got confused. His kitchen was full of recipes… but no cake.

Sound familiar?

For a long time, I also went looking for this thing called *success*. I read books. I watched videos. Everyone had an answer.

* 33 laws
* 20 rules
* 3 secrets

If it was that simple… why so many answers?

It’s like having 1,000 cake recipes. Which one is right?

Truth is: No one knows what success looks like for you.

To one person, success is money.
To another, peace.
To another, freedom.
To another, time with family.

So whose formula are you following?

Life is not a straight road. It’s more like a forest

Two people can walk the same path… and end up in different places.

Why?

Because life is complex.

There are things you can’t control:

* Timing
* Opportunities
* People
* Luck

Success = skill + timing + luck + chance.

Here’s the tricky part.

Successful people look back and say:
“I worked hard. I stayed disciplined. That’s why I made it.”

Sounds true, right?

But MANY people do the same things… and don’t get the same results.

It’s like baking a cake with maize flour instead of wheat flour. You follow all steps… but the result is different.
The recipe alone is not enough.

Now let’s talk about social media,
while using the same tool,
is like gossiping about someone…
while they are standing right there with you;

You watch one video:
“Do this and change your life.”

You feel good.

Tomorrow:
“Here are 10 better steps.”

You feel good again.

But nothing really changes.

Why?

Because it’s like a water seller saying:
“Drink this once and you’ll never be thirsty again!”

Would you believe them?

Most of what we see are winners. The ones who failed are quiet.

So we only hear one side of the story.

So what should you do?

Back to the baker.

He stopped chasing recipes… and started learning how to bake.

* How heat works
* How ingredients mix
* How to fix mistakes

And slowly, his cakes improved.

The lesson:

Focus on building the right skills.

Not chasing formulas.
Not copying everyone.
Not running after every “secret.”

Learn to:

* Think clearly
* Solve problems
* Do your work well
* Improve daily

Then something interesting happens…

You become ready.

And when luck shows up…
It finds you prepared.

Final thought:

Success is not a magic button.

It’s like cooking in a busy kitchen

Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it burns.
Sometimes guests come late… or bring extra friends

But if you know how to cook…

You will always find a way.

So relax.
Pick your craft.
Build your skills.
Do your work.

Let life do the rest.

Sometimes back, I came across a quote by Naval Ravikant: “The reason to win the game is so that you can be free of it.”

At first, I thought he was just talking about money—get rich, relax, sip something cold in Diani and call it a day.

But the more I sat with it (probably in traffic on Thika Road), the more it started hitting deeper.

You see, I like a bit of philosophy here and there—something to balance all this Nairobi chaos.

That’s when I bumped into Søren Kierkegaard and his idea of life moving in stages.

Suddenly, things started making sense… even that one friend who still behaves like campus never ended.
Kierkegaard talks about three stages of life.

Stage one: The Aesthetic Life

This one? Ah, Nairobi people know it well. Fast life. Soft life. Good vibes only.

Clubbing Thursday to Sunday, random road trips to Naivasha, situationships, chasing likes, chasing thrills… chasing everything except peace.

Life here is about enjoyment. And to be honest, it’s not all bad. You’re young, energy is high, and life feels like a movie.

But here’s the catch—this happiness expires faster than Safaricom bundles.

One minute you’re lit, next minute you’re empty, broke, and wondering why your “real ones” only text when there’s a plan.

Some people never leave this stage.
They keep playing the same game, over and over… but never really winning.

Stage two: The Ethical Life.

Now here, things start getting serious. You begin to choose better.
You value real relationships.

Maybe you settle down, build something stable, focus on career, family, and a few solid friendships.

No more 50 acquaintances—just 5 people who actually matter. Your money, time, and energy now have direction.

Life feels more grounded.
But even here… something still feels missing.
Because deep down, you realize life can’t just be about “me and mine.”

There has to be more than just surviving, working, and paying bills in Nairobi.

Stage three: The Religious (or Purposeful) Life.

This is where it all comes together.

You start asking bigger questions:

Why am I here?
Who am I helping?
What impact will I leave?

This stage is about purpose. About giving back. About living for something bigger than yourself.

Maybe you mentor someone, build something meaningful, help your community, or simply live in a way that uplifts others.

It’s no longer just about winning the game—it’s about understanding why the game even mattered in the first place.

And that’s where Naval’s words hit differently.

You don’t win just to flex.

You win so you can finally be free—free from chasing empty things, free to live with purpose.

So here’s the real question:

Why stay stuck in level one your whole life?

Why keep replaying the same old script—weekend highs, weekday regrets—like a broken Netflix show?

Life is supposed to upgrade.

You’re supposed to grow, to move, to evolve.

Yes, enjoy life. Yes, have fun. But don’t camp there forever. There’s more ahead.

In the end, the goal is simple:

Keep leveling up until your life is not just about you… but about meaning something to the world.

Because a life that keeps getting better, deeper, and more purposeful?

That one is truly worth living.

A man named Musa once blamed everything.

If it rained, he blamed the clouds.
If it was hot, he blamed the sun.
If he tripped on a stone, he blamed the stone… and sometimes the entire mountain.

One morning Musa woke up, looked at his tiny house, and shouted:

“Nature hates me! Fate hates me! Even my rooster looks at me with bad intentions!”

The rooster simply blinked. It had no idea it was part of a global conspiracy.

Musa believed his problems came from five terrible enemies:

1. Bad luck
2. His village
3. The government
4. His parents
5. The weather

According to Musa, they held secret meetings every night just to ruin his life.

Meanwhile, Musa had a few small habits:

- He woke up at 10 a.m.
- He avoided hard work like it was a contagious disease.
- His biggest exercise was lifting excuses.

But of course, that had nothing to do with his problems.

One day an old man in the village heard Musa complaining loudly near the market.

“Ah,” said the old man, scratching his beard.
“You remind me of a famous idea from a philosopher named Democritus.”

Musa squinted.
“Is he the minister of bad luck?”

“No,” said the old man. “He said something simple:

Everywhere man blames nature and fate, yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passions, his mistakes and weaknesses.

Musa blinked.

“That sounds suspiciously like responsibility,” he said.

“Exactly,” said the old man.

Musa didn’t like that word. Responsibility sounded like hard work wearing serious shoes.

So he went home and thought.

If the rain was the problem… why were farmers growing food?

If the village was the problem… why were other people building businesses?

If his background was the problem… why were some people from worse backgrounds doing better?

This made Musa uncomfortable.

Because the truth slowly knocked on his door like a very patient guest:

Maybe the world was not against him.

Maybe the world was simply not responsible for him.

The world owes you sunshine sometimes… rain other times… and absolutely no explanations.

It doesn’t owe you success.

It doesn’t owe you comfort.

And it definitely doesn’t send a rescue team just because you feel unlucky.

You may ask for help — and sometimes people will help.

But sometimes they won’t.

And when that happens, the only person left in the room is you.

The next morning Musa woke up earlier than usual.

His rooster almost fainted from shock.

Instead of blaming the road, he fixed the holes in his bicycle.

Instead of blaming the market, he learned what people actually wanted to buy.

Instead of blaming his past, he started improving his present.

It wasn’t magic.

It was slow.

It was frustrating.

Sometimes he still complained… but now he complained while working.

Months later something strange happened.

The same village.

The same weather.

The same government.

The same parents.

But Musa’s life started changing.

Why?

Because the biggest change was the one he stopped avoiding:

Himself.

The truth is simple.

No one is coming to save you.

Not luck.
Not fate.
Not perfect conditions.

But if you are determined enough…
If you look for solutions instead of excuses…
If you work smart and hard…

You will almost always find a way forward.

And the funny thing?

Once you stop blaming the world…

You finally start building your own.

The Quiet Investor in the Office:

: # Wealth is often invisible

In the office, everyone admired Brian’s new car.
But nobody noticed Peter.

Peter wore simple clothes and rarely talked about money.

Ten years later Peter retired early.
People were shocked.

Brian had spent money to look rich.
Peter invested money to be rich.

Summary:
• Wealth is often invisible:
Real wealth is money you keep (savings and investments), not the things you buy.

• Wealth = leftovers:
Wealth is the money left after you spend, not the money you show off.

• People confuse wealth with luxury:
Cars, big houses, and jewelry may look like wealth, but they are often just spending.

There is nothing wrong with buying luxurious items if you need them & can afford them but this ......

“We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like.” - Chuck Palahniuk

*The Man Who Kept Saying “Kesho”.*

In a small town outside Nairobi lived a man called Kamau. Kamau was a good man.

Hard-working, friendly, and famous for one powerful word:
“Kesho.”

If you asked Kamau when he would start saving money, he would say, “Kesho.”

When his wife Wanjiku asked when he would reduce spending on nyama choma every Friday, he would say, “Kesho.”

When his friend Otieno told him about investing a little money every month, Kamau would nod wisely and say… “Kesho.”

Kamau believed in good advice. He just believed tomorrow was the perfect day to start it.

*The Cassandra in the Market*

One day a woman named Mama Amina opened a small financial education stall at the local market.

She would stand near the tomatoes and shout:
“Save a little today! Invest early! Your future self will thank you!”

Most people laughed.

“Ah Mama Amina,” said one boda boda rider, “If I save today, what will I eat?”

Another man said, “Investing is for rich people, not for people like us.”

Mama Amina kept teaching anyway.

She explained simple things:
• Save even 100 shillings a day
• Join a SACCO
• Buy small investments slowly
• Avoid unnecessary loans
• Let time grow your money

Her advice was simple. Too simple.

People preferred complicated stories about getting rich quickly through “secret investment groups” on WhatsApp.

Kamau also listened to Mama Amina many times. He even agreed with everything she said.
Then he bought another round of drinks for his friends.

“Saving starts… tomorrow.”

Mama Amina was the town’s Cassandra.

*The Cassandra Problem*

Long ago in Greek stories, Cassandra was a woman who could see the future. The problem?

Nobody believed her.
Not because she was wrong.
But because the truth was uncomfortable.

The same thing happens in real life.

We often ignore good advice because:

1. The future feels far away
Retirement is 30 years away.
But that new phone is available today.
Our brains love today more than tomorrow.

2. Simple advice feels boring
“Save slowly.”
“Invest regularly.”
“Eat healthy.”
These things work — but they are not exciting.
People prefer dramatic shortcuts.

3. Social pressure
If all your friends are spending, saving feels strange.
If everyone upgrades their car, you feel poor keeping yours.
Humans copy each other.
Even when copying is expensive.

4. Discipline is hard
Doing the right thing once is easy.
Doing it every month for 20 years is where the real challenge lives.

“Most people think wealth comes from big decisions.”
“But it actually comes from small decisions repeated many times.”

Saving a little.

Investing consistently.

Avoiding unnecessary spending.

Learning patience.

It sounds boring.
But boring is powerful.

*How We Escape the Cassandra

1. Make the right thing automatic
Instead of deciding every month, set automatic saving.
No thinking. No debating.

2. Start ridiculously small
Even 50 or 100 shillings a day builds the habit.
Habits grow bigger later.

3. Change your circle
Spend time with people who:
• invest
• save
• plan for the future

Behaviour spreads like a virus.
Choose the right virus.

The Funny Truth:

The world does not suffer from lack of advice.

We suffer from lack of action.

The things that improve life are often simple:
- Save.
- Invest.
- Eat better.
- Treat people well.

But simple does not mean easy.

The real superpower is not intelligence.

It is doing the right small thing consistently.

Even when nobody is watching.
Even when friends are laughing.
Even when “kesho” sounds easier.
Because the future has a funny habit.
One day it stops being tomorrow.
And becomes today.

The 40-Year Detour: When Dreams Take Longer Than They Should.

Once upon a time, a group of travelers set out on a journey to a beautiful land called Canaan.

They had just escaped slavery in Egypt, and their destination was not far. In fact, the distance was short enough to walk in just a few weeks.

But something strange happened.
Instead of arriving quickly, they spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness (estimated travel distance - 623km, average distance covered per year - 15km, about 4 meters per day). The journey itself wasn’t the problem.

Their attitude and actions were.
Every time things became uncomfortable, they complained.
When challenges appeared, they doubted.
When they felt afraid, they wanted to go back to what was familiar—even if it meant returning to slavery.

What should have been a few-week journey turned into a 40-year delay.
And if we are honest, many of us are walking the same kind of path today.

The Modern 40-Year Journey:

Many people have dreams—starting a business, building a career, writing a book, improving their lives, or helping their families.

Yet years pass, and the dream still feels far away. Often, it’s not because the dream is impossible.
It’s because of habits that quietly delay progress.

Here are a few common “dream delays” many of us experience:

1️⃣ Constant Complaining
Just like the travelers complained about food and water, we sometimes spend more time complaining about problems than solving them.
Complaining drains energy that could be used for growth.

Better approach:
Focus on solutions, not frustrations.

2️⃣ Fear of Challenges
The travelers feared the people living in Canaan, even though the opportunity was right in front of them.

Today, fear shows up as:
• Fear of failure
• Fear of criticism
• Fear of starting

Because of fear, many people delay taking the first step.

Better approach:
Start small. Progress reduces fear.

3️⃣ Looking Back Instead of Moving Forward
Sometimes the travelers even wished to go back to Egypt.

In life, this looks like:
• Staying in toxic jobs
• Holding onto unhealthy habits
• Refusing change because it feels uncomfortable

Better approach:
Growth requires leaving old comfort zones.

4️⃣ Distrust in the Process
The journey required patience and trust, but doubt often replaced faith.

In our lives, impatience makes people:
• Quit too early
• Change direction too often
• Lose discipline

Better approach:
Stay consistent even when results are slow.

Practical Ways to Accelerate Your Growth
If you want to shorten your “40-year journey,” try these simple steps:

✅ Practice gratitude daily – It shifts your mindset from complaints to opportunities.
✅ Take action every day – Even small progress moves you closer to your dream.
✅ Surround yourself with positive people – The right environment fuels growth.
✅ Learn continuously – Knowledge shortens the learning curve.
✅ Stay disciplined – Dreams grow through consistent effort, not motivation alone.

Final Reflection:

Sometimes the distance between where you are and where you want to be is not very far.

But attitude, fear, and poor habits can turn a short journey into a lifetime of wandering.
So ask yourself today:

Am I walking toward my dream… or wandering around it?

Your destination may be closer than you think.
What matters most is how you walk the journey.

*The Secret That Makes Life Interesting*

A boy once asked his grandpa: “Grandpa, what makes a game fun? Winning all the time?”

Grandpa laughed. “If you won every time, you'd quit by Wednesday. Too boring.”

“Okay… losing all the time?” Grandpa shook his head. “Then you'd probably throw the controller across the room.”

“So what makes a game fun?” Grandpa smiled. “The ups and downs. The wins. The losses. The trying again.”

Then he told the boy about a smart man named Blaise Pascal.
Pascal had a famous idea called Pascal’s Wager.
He said life is like making a bet.
If you live with purpose, kindness, faith, and courage—and you're right—you gain everything.

If you live that way and you're wrong…
you still lived a beautiful life.

But living with no purpose at all?
That’s like sitting next to the game…
with the controller in your hand…
and never pressing START.

So here’s the real secret to life:
* Show up - Play the game.
* Learn from losses - Losing is teaching.
* Celebrate wins - Winning is exciting.
* Play with purpose - kindness, faith, and courage.

Because the best life is not:
• Winning every time
• Losing every time

It’s playing the game well.

And honestly…
If life were a game where you never lost,
even your little cousin would finish it in one weekend.

So play......Fall......Learn.......Try again! Winning & losing are two sides of the same coin, keep tossing.

That’s where the real adventure begins.

The Apple That Became Chocolate. 🍎into 🍫

A man walks into a supermarket.
His mission is clear: “Today I buy an apple. Healthy life starts now.”

He walks past the fruit section…
But suddenly the chocolate aisle whispers:
“Hey friend… remember how good I tasted last time?” 😏

Now his brain begins a meeting:

• Logic: “Buy the apple.”
• Memory: “Chocolate was amazing.”
• Emotion: “You deserve a treat.”
• Habit: “We always buy chocolate.”

Five seconds later…
He is standing at the cashier holding chocolate.
The apple never stood a chance.

So when did he really decide?
Not in the supermarket.
The decision was slowly built months or years before:
• habits
• past pleasure
• advertising
• emotions
• environment

Philosophers say our “free will” often arrives late to the meeting. The habits already voted.

Lesson for money and investing:

If your habits say:
• “Buy small pleasures today”
you will rarely build big assets tomorrow.

But if your habits say:
• “Delay the chocolate. Buy assets.”
One day you look up and realize…

You didn’t just stop buying chocolate.
You started buying property instead 🏠
And the strange thing?
Owning property tastes much sweeter than chocolate.

Moral:
Don’t rely on willpower in the supermarket of life.
Design habits that automatically invest your money.
Because wealth is rarely a decision made once.
It is a habit repeated quietly every month.

We all have a chance to be financially stable but we squander it daily in bits. As philosopher William James said , 'Man is a mass of habits'. Life Accumulates!

How Much Land Does a Man Need? (Based on the story by Leo Tolstoy)

There was a farmer named Pahom. He thought, “If I just had more land, my life would be perfect.” 🌾

First he got a little land.
Then he wanted more.
Then he wanted a lot more.

One day some people told him, “You can have all the land you can walk around in one day. Just start at sunrise and return before sunset.”

Pahom said, “Deal! Easy!”

So he started walking…
He saw good land and said, “Hmm… I’ll go a little farther.”
Then again: “Just a little more.”
And again: “That hill looks nice too!”

By afternoon he was VERY far away. 😅

Then he looked at the sun.
“Uh-oh… sunset is coming!”

So he ran… and ran… and ran… 🏃‍♂️💨

He reached the start point right as the sun went down…
Then he collapsed and died.

The workers buried him.

Guess how much land he really needed?

About 6 feet. 🪦.

Lessons:

1. Greed can make you lose everything.
Wanting more is good, but too much can hurt you.

2. Start small, grow slowly.
Big success takes time.

3. Don’t chase every opportunity.
Pick good investments and stay focused.

4. Know when “enough” is enough.

5. Smart investing beats risky rushing.

6. Your health and life matter more than money.

NB: Invest wisely. Grow patiently. And don’t run yourself to death chasing land, we have done the running for you here in Thika, Just Buy, Build & Live.

Difference between Freehold vs Leasehold Property in Kenya.

🟢 FREEHOLD
Own the land forever
✔ No expiry period
✔ Full ownership of land and property
✔ No annual land rent to government
✔ More control over land use (subject to zoning laws)
✔ Can be passed to heirs forever

🔵 LEASEHOLD
Ownership for a fixed number of years
✔ Valid for 33 – 99 years
✔ Pay land rent (national government)
✔ Pay land rates (county government)
✔ Use of land subject to lease conditions
✔ Can be inherited only for the remaining lease period
✔ Can be renewed before expiry

NB: Foreigners can only own Leasehold property (up to 99 years).

FAQ: Can I be buried on a Leasehold property?

Technically, no law clearly forbids it—but it’s not simple or a straightforward right. Burial on private land needs approval from local health authorities, and this is rarely allowed in towns because of public health rules.

Also, having a grave on the land can make selling the property difficult and may complicate things when the lease ends and the land returns to the government.

In a nutshell:

Possible in theory, unlikely in practice.
And honestly… once you’re gone, paperwork probably won’t be your biggest concern.

Dis: Please consult a property lawyer while on earth on this matter, this does not constitute to legal advice.
