#DailyAfricanProverbs
Today's Proverb says: "The worst you can do to truth is to clothe it in lies, you can't undo it."
The truth is a powerful force, but it can also be a fragile one. The worst thing you can do to truth is to dress it up in lies because once you do, you can never undo it. This African proverb speaks to the importance of honesty and integrity in all aspects of life. Strive to be truthful in your words and actions, even when it's difficult because the truth will always come out in the end.

The Proverb says: "A single bracelet does not jingle."
A single bracelet may not jingle, but it sure can make a statement.
This Congolese proverb reminds us that we are stronger together than we are alone.
Whether it's the support of our friends and family or the power of a community working together towards a common goal, we can achieve great things when we come together.
So let's keep adding more bracelets to our wrists and keep jingling our way to success!

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Kenya
The Proverb says: "People don’t count what they get — they count what they don’t get."
People don't measure their successes by what they have achieved, but rather by the goals that remain out of reach.
It's not about having everything; it's about striving for something greater and learning from the journey even if it doesn't end in success.
Often, it is the lessons learned through failure that can lead to a more successful future.
Focusing on what you have gained should not overshadow acknowledging and appreciating what you have yet to attain.
