Motivating our youth

I envision a Kenya where all young people are inspired to believe in themselves and their abilities and are empowered to reach their full potential and realize all their dreams. This is the very core of why the Government of Kenya established the Ministry of State for Youth Affairs and Sports.

Our youth are already exposed to all manner of negative programmes on television, and so providing an alternative program that has an inspirational and motivational standpoint would counter all the negativity in the media. In a bid to motivate and inspire our young people, I propose screening a motivational video program by Jack Canfield to all youth entrepreneurs who have directly benefited from the Youth Enterprise Development Fund and to students in secondary schools, polytechnics and public universities across the country. Jack Canfield is a motivational speaker, author and a teacher by training.

So many young people currently live in a state of resignation and despair. It is time to turn that around. We all have the power within us to create the life we want, the life we dream about, the life we were born to live. We all deserve to fulfill our full potential and manifest our true destiny. It is our birthright, but it must be claimed. It must be earned through hard work, and part of that hard work is first learning and then living the time-tested and ageless principles that are guaranteed to bring about our desired results.

Most of us did not learn these principles in school or at church, and only a few of us learned them at home. They have been passed down from person to person by mentors, teachers, coaches and, more recently, in books, seminars, video and audio programs. What if all youth-owned businesses used these principles that would propel them to greater success? What if all students knew these principles and put them into practice in class, on the playing field, and in their social lives? It would be a different world. The youth fund would exceed expectations by creating hugely successful young businessmen and women, and students would excel, thereby providing the world economy with a high-rated workforce.


Young people would take 100% responsibility for their lives and the results they produce or they don’t produce. They would be clear about their visions and their goals. Everyone would persevere in the face of hardship and challenge. Young men and women would band together in teams to support each other to become all that they could be.

The motivational video program will achieve all this and more. A financial services consultant, Charles Schwab once said, “ I have yet to find a man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism”.

The greatest gift you can give anyone is a gift of empowerment and love. What could be more loving than helping people you care about get free from their limiting beliefs and ignorance about success, and empowering them to create the life that they truly want from the depths of their soul?

The greatest contribution you can make to the world is to grow in self-awareness, self-realization and the power to manifest your own heartfelt dreams and desires. The next greatest thing you can do is to help others do the same. What a wonderful world it would be if we were all to do that. –Adapted from the ‘The success principles’ by Jack Canfield.

I am also in the process of writing a book titled ‘Being a youth; A guide to the challenges, needs and aspirations of a youth’. Prior to the screening of the video in every school, we will pass out a questionnaire to collect information. The questionnaire will have three questions;

1. What challenges do you face as a young person, physically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, politically, economically and intellectually? (Give seven answers, one for each state, i.e. outline physical challenges, social challenges etc).

2. What are your needs in the physical, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, political and economical spheres? (Answer for all spheres).

3. What are your aspirations professionally, politically and socially? (Answer where applicable).

This motivational program is a service to the youth of this country by the youth of this country and will be offered to them free of any charges.
