THE SEVEN THINGS THAT ATTRACT THE SUCCESSFUL
The seven
things that attract the successful to Osiri Beach Resort:
Why chances
are that if you are not already successful then you are on the sure road to
success if you visit
Well, it happens that the measure of success can even be found in the
places you visit, like Osiri Beach Resort and Adventures. This affordable
place, accessible to the ordinary person, is a hide-out as well as breeding
ground for the successful. Probably, you may decide to test this fact by
visiting Osiri Beach, Homa Bay County, this week-end. Problem is that by the
time you decide, chances are that you are already a successful person, or
having the germ of success.
There are hundreds, but here are some seven things that successful
Recharging
We live in a busy world, and sometimes the stress of this may just burn
you up and out. How then do you recharge? Get to a place where you can just
watch a large mass of water and the waves rising and falling and then literally
washing away your stress. Whether stressed or not, the recharging still takes
place in amazing ways. The magic of water is that your body is 70% water, and
so you are actually an aquatic animal. You feel best when you are at Osiri Beach
cottages, or on the canoes or just on the hill watching the scenic Lake
Victoria, the landscapes and soundcapes around it. It is part of what you’ll
discover is a therapeutic experience.
Disconnecting,
and reconnecting
The most successful people need time, especially the week-ends, to
disconnect with the mundane and technology, and at the same time, reconnect
with the vital links in nature and society. Osiri Beach cottages and Osiri Botanic
Garden, formerly the abode of magicians, stretching from the hill to the
beaches, is just the right place to reconnect with nature, and super nature, if
you like. Sports, professional, intellectual and spiritual people come here
because they find this place is most ideal for a profound self-dissection and
reflection. The inventors, discoverers and the thinkers come for their own
activities as well as for nature walks, canoe rides, bird watching, sports and
to reconnect with villagers, if they like. There are even Inspiration Trees in
the resort compound and also on the hill.
Exercising
Successful people know that exercise is just as important as taking
meals, and so they come to Osiri to do it in various ways. First, exercise is a
must in Osiri, because when walking here, you are either climbing up or down,
an exercise that will always leave you trim, even if you indulge. But there are
more real exercises, like rowing a boat, mountain climbing, taking a plunge in
the deep waters, beach volley ball, cycling, jogging, walking…the list is
endless. There are also, within the compound, exercise tracks that will take
you steeply up and downhill and burn up the extra fat you don’t need.
Socialising
We are social animals; that’s our nature and you go against it at your
own peril. Osiri Beach Resort is itself a cultural centre, and also next to a
cultural and educational centre run by a CBO and an NGO. Here you are at your
best engaging in dances, songs, chants and connecting with some of the most
sociable people on the planet. The Luos here have a great sense of the
community and will not hesitate to adopt you, and even claim you as one of
their own, if you like.
Successful people know the importance of socializing, from the family
down to the society. And so they come to Osiri Beach, Homa Bay County, with
their families, friends or relatives, for quality time; sometimes they return,
having adopted some more family members.
Pursuing a Hobby
Successful people always get into the passion they pursue didligently.
There are drummers, singers, farmers, fishermen and writers here at Osiri Beach
Resort, and also at the nearby cultural centre, willing to impart to you their
knowledge for free. There is also a library, small but well stocked with
significant books that you may not find anywhere else in East Africa. Just to
show you the importance of the library, half of the books in this bbc site: http://www.listchallenges.com/kaunismina-bbc-6-books-challenge?ref,
like The Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Madame Bovary, War and Peace, Winnie the Pooh, The Kite Runner, the Harry
Potter series, Life of Pi, and are found at Osiri Beach Library. Many more
books in the African canon, like Things Fall Apart, Mhudi, The Ozidi Saga, The
Epic of Gor Mahia, A Grain of Wheat, So Long a Letter, Nervous Conditions, Song
of Lawino, Song of Be are also found in this library, and you can connect to
the internet for more. Reading is fun in this wilderness, and you can do it on
the lake, under a tree, in the sand, or in your room. Writer Adrian Onyando
spends almost all his week-ends in this hide-out, minting words and ready to
help someone else do the same.
Romance
Romantic
love can greatly extend the lifespan of those involved in it. Unfortunately,
romantic love itself has a very short lifespan. Its average lifespan for humans
is one year. But it has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that visiting
some places can extend this span forever. How do they
do it? Many answers, but one is: adventure. Osiri Beach is one such place for
adventure; even the lovebirds (real birds and humans) have made it their
residence. Couples pack up and come to this blessed wilderness.
Volunteering
Do you know that charity can be
fun? And iit is also healthy according to Oprah Winfrey. Just by spending a
holiday in an African village, you could be assisting some students go to
school besides many other things. How? Because Osiri Beach Resort—through its
activities in camping, culture, sports, farming and hospitality—helps fund the
projects of Osiri Beach Education and Career Forum and Education Help
Foundation, two orgnisations that help to rid this part of the world of
poverty, ignorance, disease and despair.
So would you like to spend your
week-end or holiday making a lasting impact on community education, health and
development in rural villages in sub-Saharan Africa? Have you always wanted to
experience and learn about the culture, nature, sports and landscapes of the African
Great Lakes region? Do you like adventure and eco experiences?
If so, please consider staying at
Osiri Beach Resort sooner rather than later. There are special rates for
volunteers and charities. A volunteer need not be a conventional one coming to
stay here for some time. It may even be someone who has got an experience or a
skill to share for even a day. Just
phone the contact and say, ‘Hi, I’d like to volunteer at Osiri Beach.’
