Question, Question Everything Until....

More from Ariadna Arredondo!

It feels right! What are we on about? Curiosity. Be assertive. Be real with yourself.
Okay, okay, let�s break it down:
Every day you've got some extraordinary power to leave a footprint in someone�s walk or to light up someone�s stormy day�
Every day you've got the choice to make your own surroundings better and work towards your goal.
Now, in order to get to this place, you've got to ask yourself. Ask yourself tough questions!

For example:
1) Do I do my best at work?
2) Do I set clear goals for myself?
3) Do I challenge myself?
4) Do I always give out the best version of myself?
5) Do I give it my all every day, at whatever I am doing?
6) Do I achieve my goals?

These six questions may look simple, be that as it may be, these questions are the ones that make you think a step further.

We all move through a fast-paced lifestyle, all the same, we need reminders to slow down and focus on what we want to achieve before it slips away. As we are trying to focus on the day-to-day things, we tend to forget the big picture. We forget to practice, we forget to call, we forget to do something for us� being tied up with everything else we have got going in life.

Hence, we advice you to STOP! And question everything until you find what you are looking for. Don't let the daily errands take over your real passions and goals. By asking yourself these six questions every once in a while (every 2-3 weeks, keep yourself in line) you will really see what you want to do with your  life.

Be honest. Be real. Write it, sing it, post it, create it. Be truthful to yourself. After all, this is your life. 
Get to the root of it all, of what you are really passionate about, shake it up, remember to stay active and go for those goals. A trip, a concert, a dress, working out, taking better care of oneself, cleaning more, changing jobs, learning a language.. a thousand million things is possible in this lifetime. What is your passion?

Not only that, another key reminder is to Love Yourself, no matter what. You are who you are and are where you are because that is your path. So, give it your best, give it your all. And love yourself, love yourself every day a bit more, love yourself, faults and all, love yourself every step of the way.
And if it happens to be that you are happy with every aspect of your life, amazing! Still, keeping yourself in check is a great thing to do. All in all, balance.

Now, while you go find that balance, one step at a time, you also get the chance to talk to countless people on a daily basis. At the end of the day/week/month/year/life� you have talked to plenty of people.

Thus, all of these questions also apply to that. You are able to help someone every day without even knowing it. Just by the way you are, the way you act and the way others see you. You just never know whose life you can touch, without even wanting to.
All in all, it always makes sense to give the very best of yourself. Work hard, keep smiling and question everything until you find that balance that you want.
You know what we are talking about!

Do you have reminders to keep yourself in check?

Winding Down: A Family Vacation

First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Apologies for silence this month; but also, THANK YOU! Thank you to all of you for being such a great audience this year. My readership in 2015 has been the highest ever- especially so in December, which is crazy because I've only published one post this month so far! So thank you, for reading, and keeping up with the Kenyan Nomad, and all the wonderful feedback you've given me this year. As we count down to my favourite holiday of the year, I wanted to share some snippets from my recent family vacation. My parents and I headed to the Rift Valley from the 20th to the 24th, and I decided to completely unplug! My phone was on airplane mode most of the time, I absolutely didn't check my messages, emails or Facebook at all, and I got to spend some time actually reading! I didn't manage to fit in as much as I would've liked, but I did read 'The Pilgrimage' by Paulo Coelho and 'Social Intelligence'...

The Mayura: Restaurant Review

Happy new year, everyone! It's been a while, so I thought to break tradition and post on a Tuesday this time - I'm sure you're in need of new restaurant recommendations, right? Located in Kenrail towers, the Mayura  is an Indian restaurant that you may not have been to yet. I'd heard about it, but never been, so when I was invited to do a review, I naturally jumped at the chance. Located in Kenrail Towers, the ambience of the Mayura has peacock-themed, warm interiors. There's a lot of space to sit down, both inside and outside. The restaurant is the brainchild of Rajiv Segal, who has a corporate background and being from Delhi, had a high standard of quality and had developed a distinctive palate, which he wanted to bring to the people in Nairobi. The menu was chosen for us by Rajiv (and boy, did we eat a lot!). For starters, we had some paneer tikka, mutton chops, fish amritsari and banu kebab (chicken). The paneer tikka was absolutely amazing! The paneer was fresh...

Return to Kenya

As predicted, 2015 has brought with it quite a few changes. In addition to three of my cousins having babies early this year, I recently moved back to Kenya! (Bam).  A move was inevitable, as I'd predicted earlier this year. The last birthday I celebrated at home with my parents was my 18th, so I planned my move out in such a way that I'd be able to celebrate my 23rd here too. (Here I am, another year older (...wiser?)). It sounds like such a cliche, but I've been amazed by all the things (and people) that have changed while I've been away, while some things (and people) are exactly the same as they were 5 years ago.  I plan to be in Kenya for the next few years at least, so for this period, The Kenyan Nomad will have a decidedly Kenyan lens, as I go exploring this familiar place with a fresh gaze.  I've barely been here two weeks, and have already been inspired to grow my writing beyond what it once was; who wouldn't, surrounded by such beauty?
