Better Life

As a student at the University of Nairobi I always spent lots of time in solitude as I pondered about the future and what I wanted it to look like for me. The more I did this, the more it became clearer to me that I wanted to live a better life than what I had seen and experienced up till that time in my life. I never at that time desired to leave the third world and head for the industrialized West. I loved and still love my country but somehow as I began dreaming about a better life and developing my vision for life, it became imperative that I had to leave the country for a while.

Living and experiencing a better life does not have to mean that you leave your country. In some instances a change of location might be in order but it is more a matter of disposition than position. The idea of the Better Life Company was conceived after I had altered my disposition. I had to change my outlook on life and that elevated my thinking as I began to see myself as a more productive and visionary member of society. My whole purpose in life now is to empower others with knowledge, skills, wisdom and resources that will enlighten, encourage, equip, embolden and enable them to embody the better life. My vision deep down is a world in which all people are fully empowered with all they need to live a better life.

The idea of starting the Better Life Company has been in my creative womb for almost seven years (1999 - 2006). During this gestation period there have been many attempts at shaking off the dream and letting it go for the desire to work my way up the ranks of an already established company. The fact that the dream continued to live on clearly indicated to me that this was my destiny. The Better Life Company will be unveiled and nurtured into an excellent organization. As the organization grows, it will give birth to different susidiaries which will endeavor to realize this vision in many different areas of life. We can all achieve a better life. The best is yet to come. I want to encourage you to join me as we both give our very best in helping others attain a better life.
