When a Day Feels Achieved

 Kelvin Njihia Kairu , Kenya  Oct 30, 2025

Lately, I have realized that achievement does not always come from big goals or a long to-do list. For me, it's the small things.

It's funny because my "achieved day" usually comes down to these simple things: taking a bath and brushing my teeth, making my bed and folding my clothes and finally, exercising.

That's it, nothing fancy. But when I do these things, I feel like I have shown up for myself. Taking a bath isn't just about getting clean, It's a reset before the day begins. Making my bed and folding my clothes brings a sense of order in my own space while exercising makes me feel strong and proud ,and lifts my spirit a notch higher.

Happiness And Positive Arrogance 

Lately, I have been feeling genuinely happy- the kind that does not need a reason. I smile more, I worry less and a deeper sense of contentment.

From that happiness, I have started feeling what I call  positive arrogance(Does it exist? I don't know. Felt like it was way to explain what I am feeling). Not everything needs my control.Not everything needs my fixing.

It's funny how light life starts to feel when you stop fighting it so much.

Inside The Box🧠

We are always told to think outside the box- to chase bigger, newer and bolder ideas. But one day, while talking with Andrew Muchiri, Global Fast Fit Media incharge, colleague and friend, something clicked for me.

We were brainstorming ideas, trying to push for something unique, and suddenly I thought , maybe we are thinking too hard. Maybe we have not explored what is inside the box fully.

Sometimes, we get so caught up trying to escape our current space that we forget how much potential already lives within it.

Maybe the goal isn't always to think outside the box. Maybe it is to look deeper inside it- to notice what is already there, refine it and grow it.

As I sign out, I have learnt that maybe happiness is not something we chase but something we notice - hidden inside the box we have not fully explored.
