Teresa Maru

I'm passionate about facilitating or supporting the empowerment of people to be self reliant and independent. I want everyone to know we all have the capacity to do great things regardless of our backgrounds. It is not upto our family, it is not upto our governments, and it is not upto the world, it is upto us. we should never expect life to be a straight path, but rather an exciting couple of mountains and valleys, and these mountains and valleys should not define us but make us better human beings.

In the Spotlight

Complaining Tires The Soul

It is easier to complain, than to provide a solution, but the danger in complaining is it can become a negative habit that steals joy of both the complainer and the listener. It is fine to complain, but important to develop a mirror of corrective solutions in order to maintain hope.

  Fear Not; God Is in Control

  4 years ago

  The evidence that God is in control is in our faith, and the bible describes faith as" the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see". And without faith we cannot please God. God's control is spiritual and we cannot time its manifestation and neither can we deny it.

  Teresa's Own Success Tidbits

  4 years ago

  Everyone aspires to succeed in life, whether in school, college, employment or business. Success is relative because success may mean different things to different people, but measured by quality of life we all tend to look at success in a similar way.

  God Please Restore My Senses I Pray

  4 years ago

  Human beings are imperfect. No matter how hard we try we are bound to fall short of God's grace and commit some sin. But the good news is God is not affected by our sin, and He forgives us when we repent and blesses abundantly regardless of our unfaithfulness

  Is Change the Real Elephant in the Room?

  4 years ago

  Change is the only constant throughout life, yet to many it remains a shadow that is difficult to master. Yet mastering change is almost the only difference between success and failure. Many people are uncomfortable with change probably because it exposes our vulnerabilities

  Has the Internet Encouraged the Promotion of Corougeous Cowards Courtesy of Social Media?

  4 years ago

  The fact that internet has revolutionized the our world in a positive way is stale news, but what is needed is experiential news on how the internet is creating a safe haven for cowards to throw stones at will at residents and at passers by. What have we lost? Can we go back to basics?

  Can The Real Africa Please Stand up and Take Her Correct Position?

  4 years ago

  While COVID-19 has turned the world upside down, it is, on the upside awakening a new spirit in Africa across all ages. Live discussions, publications, and social media is awash with evidence that Africans are restless and truly desire to rediscover their consciousness by going back to basics

  Pretending to Be Dedicated to the Poor While Practicing Dedication to Self

  4 years ago

  Over 30 years I have worked in the development sector in Africa, and over the course of that period I came across development partners both local and foreign who pretended to be working to enhance living standards of poor people. But they ended earning more than what was invested in the community.
