PODCAST 🎙️: Kennedy Odede grew up in Kibera, Africa’s largest urban slum. At the age of 10, he dreamed of factory work for 10 cents a day. But after stealing a mango out of hunger, a stranger’s single act of kindness changed the course of his life. 🥭 Today, Kennedy is the CEO and founder of Shining Hope for Communities, or SHOFCO. For 20 years, SHOFCO has empowered Kenya’s poorest neighborhoods, helping over 4 million people access clean water, education, and Internet. In 2024, TIME Magazine named Kennedy one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Kennedy shares with me what it took for him to see human goodness while surrounded by scarcity and anger, and how poverty taught him that being together is one of the greatest forms of wealth. This…is A Bit of Optimism.

This article describes how a walking pilgrimage, specifically along the Camino de Santiago in Spain, offers profound happiness and well-being benefits by encouraging mindfulness and a break from constant striving for achievements. The act of walking itself, rather than arriving at a destination, allows participants to live in the present moment and detach from material concerns, fostering gratitude and a deeper sense of purpose. The author highlights that this kind of journey prompts reflection, self-discovery, and a transformative perspective on life that can bring fulfillment beyond religious or physical motivations.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
