Happiness Is Self Recognised Wealth

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

Happiness: The Ultimate Wealth

Happiness is a self-recognized treasure, that radiates from within, happiness isn't delegated. It’s the warmth that spreads through your soul when you achieve success in your daily encounters. Every triumph, no matter how small, ignites a spark of fulfillment that illuminates your path.

Redefining Success

We often associate success with grand achievements, but the truth is, success comes in many forms. Consider this: a president’s gratification over an army that has conquered an enemy is the same as that of a boy who has stood up to a bully. Both experiences evoke a deep sense of pride, accomplishment, and fulfillment.

The Gratification of Success

Whether your achievements are grand or subtle, the gratification of success remains the same. It’s the sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from overcoming obstacles, pushing past fears, and growing into the best version of yourself.

Embracing the Journey

Happiness is not a destination; it’s a journey of embracing every moment, every triumph, and every setback. It’s recognizing that every experience, no matter how challenging, holds a hidden gift – a lesson, a strength, or a wisdom that shapes you into a stronger, wiser, and more compassionate person.

Your Happiness Matters

Remember, your happiness is not dependent on external validation or material possessions. It’s a choice you make every day, every hour, and every moment. Choose to recognize your successes, no matter how small they may seem. Choose to celebrate your resilience, your courage, and your unique spirit.

You Are Enough

You are enough, just as you are. Your worth, your value, and your happiness are not defined by external measures. They are inherent in your being, waiting to be acknowledged, nurtured, and celebrated.

May this reminder inspire you to embrace your journey, recognize your successes, and radiate happiness from within.

In loving memory of Mrs. Josephine Machuma (Nee Matongo)

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Mrs. Machuma played a pivotal role in shaping my Christian values and that of many during her time as a Sunday School teacher at St. Stephen United Methodist Church in the early 80s. Her catechism teachings strengthened my faith in the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and her picturesque illustrations of God’s omnipotence and omniscience remain vivid in my mind. As a dedicated teacher with stints at Zengeza 5 and 8 Primary Schools, Mrs. Machuma was known for her blunt yet nurturing approach. She would candidly address shortcomings, and her passion for education was evident. Many students, including myself, benefited from her guidance, and I’m sure many share my sentiments about her calling to educate. Together with her husband, Mr. Shepherd Machuma, the family embodied the good teachings of John Wesley. Their union, bound by vows of love and commitment, was a testament to the power of marriage. Even in separation, their love remains unwaver...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

United Methodist Church: A Path of Continuous Improvement

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga As a product of the United Methodist Church, I've come to realize the immense value of the administrative, business and leadership skills that the church imparts. Initially, I didn't appreciate these aspects, but after exploring other denominations, I returned to the United Methodist Church, recognizing its exceptional leadership development opportunities. The church's reporting system has had a profound impact on my self-development, and the process of worship, family ministering, and starting new churches has equipped me with replicable skills that I've applied to my daily life. Through the United Methodist Church, I've developed strong decision-making skills, strategic thinking, and effective communication. These skills have, in turn, fostered my commitment to transparency and social justice, which are now core values that I uphold in all my endeavors. I've come to expect accountability and fairness in any group or associa...
