Tool 02 of 104 persist until you get what you want, repeat
Written by Mustapha B. Mugisa
#Mindspark with Mr Strategy
The parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8 teaches us about a widow who is poor and powerless but persists in nagging a corrupt, and powerful judge to do justice for her. This parable speaks to the realities we are living in today where winning a court case is increasingly becoming less about the facts, evidence, and the law, and more about the parties, the size of their pocket and their station in life in delivering justice. The poor person without the means and money has the odds against him or her before the justice system.
Tool 01 of 104 is always express your gratitude

#Mindspark with Mr Strategy
“This made Jesus say, ‘Were not all ten made clean? The other nine, where are they? It seems that no one has come back to give praise to God, except this foreigner.’”
The times we are living are not easy. Each one of you reading this must be thankful for being alive. I am happy that you make time to come to Church to thank God for the blessings of life and livelihood. But do you extend a helping hand to your less fortunate neighbours and or relatives? Each one of us is climbing a hill with heavy luggage on our backs. The hill gets steeper, and the luggage heavier with each passing day. Look at the leper as someone with sins or sickness or poverty and problems. Each one of us is always looking out for a helping hand to guide us to a better route with smooth roads. To give us psycosocial support. Someone to give us a lift or to help reduce the load. Be that one person today.
Tool 81 of 104 is to search for the living water
Written by Mustapha B. Mugisa
Forgive me, Father, For I Have Sinned”, I looked up at the Priest as I made my over 100th confession. Nothing good comes easy. You must act. Get up and search for it. You will be lucky to have someone pushing you to go for confession, yet penance is one such sacrament essential for your soul. In this Lent season, you have more reasons to examine your conscience and come clean with yourself.
Tool 79 of 104 is to be conscious of evil
Written by Mustapha B. Mugisa
Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he was very hungry, and the tempter came and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to turn into loaves.’ But he replied, ‘Scripture says: Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:1-11
Tool 78 of 104 is a determination to a worthy cause
Written by Mustapha B. Mugisa
“Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You have learned how it was said: Eye for eye and tooth for a tooth. But I say this to you: offer the wicked man no resistance. On the contrary, if anyone hits you on the right cheek, offer him the other as well; if a man takes you to law and would have your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone orders you to go one mile, go two miles with him. Give to anyone who asks, and if anyone wants to borrow, do not turn away,” Matthew 5:38-48
What is your worthy cause?
If you lack clarity of a worthy cause, no matter how much success you register in terms of money, power and material wealth, it will still not be enough. The people we read about as noble prize winners, game changers and exceptional leaders dedicated their lives to something beyond making lots of money. You must have a worthy cause.
“Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them. I tell you solemnly, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, shall disappear from the Law until its purpose is achieved.” Matthew 5:17-37
Tool 76 of 104 is to be responsible and righteous
Written by Mustapha B. Mugisa
“Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing and can only be thrown out to be trampled underfoot by men. ‘You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:13-16
Tool 75 of 104 is to persist until you make it
Written by Mustapha B. Mugisa
“As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew; they were making a cast in the lake with their net, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.’ And they left their nets at once and followed him”, Matthew 4:12-23
Tool 72 of 104 is to develop positive habits
Written by Mustapha B. Mugisa
Habits provide a fertile ground for your success. Good habits are your strategic foundation for living a happy life.
While in school, to win you had to conduct regular notes revision, go to the library, attend classes regularly, be in discussion groups of brilliant students and teach others so as to grasp the concepts better. Good habits make you successful. Bad habits make you poor.

“When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer”, Psalm 94:19
Twice I came from behind trying to catch a position at the 3rd Annual Reach out Mbuya Charity Run. This was a tough run for me. One of the children requested to join us in the run at last minute. We lost a few minutes. We arrived at Church when the final call for the 10 kilometers was being made. I started my Apple Watch running assist as I run fast to the registration point, and as I was having the identification orange band tied on my arm, the 10 km race commenced. My #WinningMindset took over me.
