You are an entertainment personal assistant.

Alan Lawrence, a jamboree participant.
Thank you so much for having me, Mwana.
I appreciate. I thank you, my child.
Child, welcome very much.

Kukua, pioneer for the first episode of the show.
Today, we are arriving at the meeting.
matters concerning the relationship.
Why? You know, I believe everything.
revolves around relationships.
You stay here with me, you go work and
Everyone is talking about relationships.
So, the moment relationships are settled,
Everything progresses.
So, if all you have
at hand, you got it through
money, through your effort,
It's not worth it.
True possession of your own is
through the relationships you have.
So, relationships play a major role.
in whatever you want to do
A relationship is like a ship.
We use a ship to go from one level to the other.
or from one place to another.
So, we use a relationship as a ship
to progress to the other side of life.
Oh, I see what you mean.
Therefore, relationships play a major role.
That's why I place so much importance on relationships.
and I mostly write about relationships
and what have you. So, let me come
and tell you a story about relationships
and how people should date healthily,
How people should relate to each other from a health perspective.
Why? Because right now,
During Christmas, people are going home.
and all that stuff.
You are meeting even people
You have been chatting online.
They are in Dubai.
The time they are coming
It's time for you guys to bond.
Actually, that brings me to something
I believe that
most people really struggle with.
You can be in love with someone,
I can be in love with someone. serialize
but at what point do you know that
You know what, this someone
truly loves me
Wow, interesting. Thank you for the question.
You know the most important thing
In a relationship, love is number one.
Can you be friends?
Because most of the time people get it wrong
at the very beginning
People start dating, then they want to be friends.
It should be you begin.
at the level of friendship
Then you go on a date.
So in friendship, at a point where you check
your compatibility, you check
the chemistry. How can we relate
with this person? Because it reaches
to a point where you no longer
I want to talk about love.
You just want a conversation.
whereby this person is your best friend
This person is your greatest lover.
So at all given times you check
on that chemistry. How can this person
Be there for me?
In the end, the relationship is for you.
to progress and to push each other
To grow in purpose. Do you understand?
Whereby whenever we come into
contact, because I've always said this over and over
that you collect from where you are connected.
So how is this person, whenever
We connected with this person in life.
What have I truly accomplished?
But then I just want to know
looking at what you've
just said, the first thing that should come
is friendship. Does it
mean that
If we've already started dating
and we did not become
Friends, does it mean that relationship?
is not meant to work?
And how do we go about doing that?
The relationship can still work.
because we've seen there
and if it only works
when people are very intentional
You know what?
I have letter 50, you have letter 50
to make this thing work. Whereby
this relationship whereby I feel
the other person's effort
I celebrate them. I'm not just tolerating them.
You understand? Regarding this person
is here, but I just
don't take them for granted for the sake
of it. Because either you are
in a serious relationship, or are you the one treating
The relationship is serious.
I'm just repeating that one.
It's either you are in a serious relationship
or are you the one treating the relationship
Serious. So what's the difference?
The difference might be the other one.
person, because let's say
for this scenario whereby a man
99%
A man knows the direction of a relationship.
Okay. So a man
Already knows the direction of this relationship
if it is leading to marriage or
It's just a one-night stand. The man
Knows. The man knows. Okay. Psychologically.
So a man will definitely
Know that this relationship is not working
but the problem with ladies
Most of the time, they try to resurrect.
What is death? Okay.
You see, this relationship is dying.
but you are doing your utmost
like ICU, you know, literally
so that the relationship can work. It cannot.
work. You can never, ever teach
someone on how they should love you.
You will be sacrificing your
one's own self in regard to something called a relationship.
Yet this relationship is not working.
So it is a level.
whereby everyone you feel
The feeling is mutual.
And I would say that a relationship
is not on the foundation
Of feelings. It's commitment.
Okay. That is why you cannot
Just see someone and say that you know what
I just felt something. No.
It's a commitment. Then what happens?
Do you know these kinds of
people you meet, and they just tell
I saw him.
And I knew he was the one.
You know
It's funny, most people say
But if you look at it closely
deeply, they just like
The person. Okay.
Because, just like, you can get to the supermarket
You see some product. You will love it.
that product. But it does
That doesn't mean it will work for you.
You need to understand that you are not meant for everyone.
And not everyone is meant for you.
So throughout all this time
you have because
There is no commitment without communication.
Okay. So where exactly
the moment you communicate with this person
That is why people go on dates.
And whenever you go on dates, is that the point?
You are now trying to find out this
Person. Is there chemistry? Is there compatibility?
Is it like now you
Start to envision five months from now
Where will we be?
Because feelings can
come and go. Because the
rate at which you like that person at the
very onset. It means that you will
dislike them from the very beginning. And I always
Post this. If a person you
Ask them why they love me? They don't.
Answer you. Believe me, they will break you.
for no apparent reason. There should
Be a reason why they love you.
Okay. You should know why you
Love them. You should know. Yeah.
And where do you draw the
line and you know you just
Say that. I think
what are some of the things
Someone who can do that can make you
You know what? This person does not
truly love me. You know
It is a question of the
love language. Whereby
How do you show respect? How do you perceive it?
Love? You understand?
And at this
point, you don't even need
a prophetic insight. You don't need
a psychologist to tell you. There are
Some things you should not compromise.
A relationship in which you have to compromise
90%. That is not
It's worth it. Okay. Whereas
you need
that feeling when you feel
You are at home. Whereby
You are at ease. Whereby this
Person, you can be vulnerable
with them, as we mentioned earlier.
Whereby you can tell this person anything and
everything, and they won't judge you. They won't
Use this weakness
to put you down.
They will be there. They know that early you have
this weakness, and they are there to
Cover up your in public
but they will be able to correct it
You in private. So they are there.
as your best friend. They are there
minus everything and minus what
The world is telling you. They are there for you.
At all given times. Yeah.
And now looking at those, these are the things someone
can do for you to know that they truly
I love you. Now what are
The red flags? You just sit down.
and say like ah!
Ah!
And then you just decide to walk out.
What are some of the red flags that
Should people be on the lookout?
Number one is
This person does not allow you.
and allow you to do
other things
They just want you to feel
at all times whenever there is a mistake
They want you to feel
You're the problem.
They are never willing to admit the problem.
They are never willing to offer solutions.
Most of the time they will be pointing
in your mistakes. Most of the time
at all times
Then the other thing this person is always intimidated by
By your success and by your strength.
So they will do everything and anything to put you down.
down. But a true person who is looking
in a future with you, they will
In turn, come and support your vision.
They will come and be there.
as your best
cheerleader. They will support you
at all given times. But you are trying
to uplift yourself and this person
Putting you down is a red flag.
You don't need to. But the problem
with most people today, they tend
to confuse the red roses
with red flags
Whereby this person
is not treating you properly.
Then the other thing is
How long will you continue to teach this person?
about how they should love you.
Remember, it's a relationship. It's not a mentorship.
program
Whereby people...
It's a relationship.
Not a mentorship program.
Whereby you find the person
They come to you, they try to
Fix everything you are doing.
Everything you are doing
has a cause.
You feel...
No person can ever
be lectured on how they change.
You can never.
Because if a person wants to change, they will change.
One thing you will accept with me
No one changes instantly.
They changed a long time ago
but you choose to ignore.
So be careful about the things you tolerate.
in a relationship because you are teaching
this person on how they should
Carry you around.
You understand? So this person
did not change instantly.
They were red flags, but you chose
to ignore
But now when it comes to
You can't bear it anymore. That is the moment.
You start to speak out. But no one is there.
changes. And that is why I
I have always said not to commit to a person.
who you haven't seen how they react
Under pressure.
Do not let a person know
You haven't seen how this person reacts.
towards a person who is unable to do them
Anything. You have been to a restaurant.
How this person treats that waiter
she will speak volumes about
How this person can treat you. Remember
This person has never done anything to you.
You should not commit to a person.
if you have not seen this person
how they behave when they have money.
Because money amplifies
the character of a person
This person has not tested power.
And you say they are good.
This person hasn't even started yet.
to function in their intended purpose.
So this person, they haven't
know themselves. The moment they know themselves
That is the point; now you will start to think.
They are changing. But they are not changing.
They are just beginning.
the real part of themselves
Does this bring us to the point?
where we tell the young people
that they should not date?
Because looking at whatever you are saying
It seems I look young.
I have not yet tested money.
I have not yet heard power
There are many things that I have not heard.
that can bring out my character.
People should as much as
It's like that, but
The thing is, you shouldn't
Date someone based on their potential
Number one. Number two
The patterns will never lie.
How this person behaves
when they are single
tells you about this person
Will treat you in a relationship.
Because a relationship
While people are dating is a true
manifestation of their singleness
So being single
is a point at which, by now, this person
begin to discover themselves
start doing a lot of things. So the moment they get
into a relationship they will be in
To do these things now completely.
Currently, the process of dating
trying to get to know this person
Ask them serious questions.
Try to understand their background.
Try to look at a lot of things
because if you are trying to look at
building a future with this person
There are things you won't hide.
You will just be open with them.
You just have to look at the patterns.
Now I just also
want to truly understand
Is there
someone meant for you?
Is it a thing because
I don't know
You as now as the relationship expert
Do you think that's a thing?
You know, like saying this one was meant for you
This one was meant for you?
What happens
In most cases
It is now a point where
the moment you guys try to check
Your commitment level and your compatibility
is not that you are
stuck to somebody
You can't be glued to somebody.
We look at it from nature's perspective.
perspective. It is a point at which
because people can say
Have you ever seen a relationship?
whereby people have been pushed
because you all look good together
Look good together
but truly you know that your heart is not there
just because somebody
Can see the glamour and everything
that's not how you're portraying it
mean that you are comfortable
home is a place where
You feel safe. Are you feeling safe with this person?
Does this person treat you properly?
So don't just get into a relationship
and **** the ---- out of it
You understand? Just because you can
Fitting in doesn't mean that you belong.
There. Just because
things working out doesn't mean
You just have to choose your own path
even when things work out doesn't mean
Yeah, it doesn't mean
because
Do you know the problem today?
whereby we have
a happy generation online
but very sad in private
we have people who are
public success but private failures
whereby this person
They look glamorous and everything.
but in private
This person is not happy.
They are not at home; they are not.
at ease. Every now and then you are with
This person you feel tense
So it's not worth it. Do not
sacrifice your peace. Do not sacrifice
your potential. Do not sacrifice
like your better destiny on
this thing called a relationship just
please people, the moment you
Try to please people and you will die at their hands.
Criticism. You understand?
That is why I have always tried
to talk to a few celebrities I meet
I'm like, you know, the same people
Who makes you feel big online?
They are the same people who tomorrow will attack you
You'll be able to fall into depression
So you just need to be very sensitive.
Where do you draw the line?
like what are the telltale
signs in this relationship that you can no longer
Take. So don't just do it.
for the sake of pleasing people
die from, do not just
die for the sake of pleasing people
I read somewhere
They were saying this Langata cemetery
It has so many people who
They were there trying to change.
People. They end up dying.
so you just, you aren't
God. As long as your name is
Ali, you are not Allah.
or you are not Yahweh
Do not try to change a person
a person will change if they truly value
to accommodate you
does that mean that
I can never love someone.
and just say that
You know I love you
but I can't change
You know that's something
that I've heard
It's a phrase I've heard.
being used by many people
I love her, but she tells me to stop doing this.
Let's use an example.
She says to stop drinking alcohol.
I love her but I can't.
You can't stop drinking alcohol.
You come into people's lives
not to change them
You come into people's lives to magnify.
them and do not try
to push someone to change
Connect with this person
then the moment you connect with this person
There are some behaviors that are not correct.
There is a culture you will create.
because if this person
There is a reason why they are doing it.
whatever they are doing
because you know, sometimes we are too judgmental
We judge, we don't know
the option this person had in the first place
so you try to understand
Where is this person coming from?
let's say for that point
You're saying this person is drinking alcohol.
Maybe they are drinking alcohol to escape from certain realities.
so you understand
the very moment you enter their lives
and you try to connect with them
You will automatically change
but trying to force them to change
so the best way
would probably be trying to understand
Why do they drink?
Connect with them
Otherwise, they will simply fall into place.
so now of all the things
that you have mentioned
the basis of cultivating
true love
What is friendship?
Friendship is very important.
You have also said that it's possible.
to cultivate friendship
even if it was not the foundation
How do you go about it?
number one
Are you like
Be secure enough
to let this person shine
Be secure enough to be vulnerable
with this person
the moment we become friends
There is nothing I can hide from you.
I'll be like, you know what, bro
I don't even have food.
That is now the act of friendship.
But I will not listen to you.
saying so and so
Lawrence even told me he doesn't have food.
that is why
a person like today
You break up with a person.
He goes out and harasses you.
In the first place, this person was not your friend.
They were merely enemies waiting for an opportunity.
through friendship
They will preserve their own integrity.
at all times
whereby he told me something
He will not listen to another person.
So I become your safe space.
so in the context of a relationship
You need to become that kind of friend.
you are
that kind of friend you want to attract
Because in relationships, you attract who you are.
so if
Your character is this and this
You will definitely attract that person.
Who is directly like you?
just as you cannot expect champagne today
on a budget
You have to have that budget.
to accommodate what you wish to attract
It all begins by the
foundation
Amazing conversation we've been having
with Alan Lawrence himself
and you are holding a book
Tell us about it.
before you think
of dating by
Alan Lawrence, but before we just get
into the book
We are in the festive season.
This is the time when, as I said,
your boyfriend is from
Maju, your girlfriend is from
Dubai, and we are also having
people who have
probably saved for the year
to take their spouses to places
to treat their spouses
and people
they are not experiencing
that same kind of treatment
the same kind of love
maybe this person does not
I truly love you
You know
love
love is
sacrifice
It's not about the quantity.
It's about the sacrifice.
and the thoughts
Behind the giving
Why should I say that?
Someone is buying.
but you are not at ease
You understand? And I'm not hating.
those who are buying
so it means
It's like
I'm treating my girl out.
the only amount I can afford
True love is about sacrifice.
It's not, it's just about
Just the thought itself means a lot
So don't put your boyfriend under
pressure, don't put your girlfriend under pressure
Do the things
do with them as you can afford
The things you cannot afford, do not
Kill yourself trying to prove a point
the moment some people try to prove
a point because they have not reached it
that Dubai you are trying to convince
someone to take you there
You go to Dubai.
so people taking
people, places, does not necessarily
mean love
But some are taking them out of love.
some are doing it because
They have the resources.
Some are doing it.
because you forced them
but it has not come, they have not felt
You understand?
So don't put someone under pressure.
and do not be under pressure
the things you cannot do with
This season, try not to do anything with them.
Don't kill yourself
so live within your means because
There is no pressure; in this life, I always say.
when you rush, you crash, but if you
grow and develop, you grow into it
Those things will flow seamlessly.
but if you force yourself
There's no way you can do things.
Then you come, you end up in debt
Alan Lawrence
before you think about dating
Tell us about it.
You know Ali.
People today have entered into relationships.
as if they are signing warranty applications
No one reads.
what they are signing up for
So, relationship today
people have treated relationships as a
garage, as a rescue mission
from themselves
someone enters into a relationship
because Ali is on a date
And Ali is my friend, I will find him.
To date, you don't know.
Why is Ali dating?
and the relationship is on the
foundation of commitment, not feelings
because feelings come and go
so you need to know
because information is power
How powerful do you want to be?
depends on the type of information you have
a challenge, today
people prepare
when someone wants to go to Dubai
for example, they prepare
You will have a passport; what will you do?
all those kinds of things
but these things are destiny-altering
Someone does it.
just for the sake of it
just because I am married
Don't date them
or the person
Who is lonely?
Date someone who is alone but not lonely.
alone but not lonely
You meet people who get it wrong in relationships.
because they are not well equipped with the kind of
the information they want to have
in that relationship
as you prepare for that relationship
You need to start on the right foundation
the moment you start on the right foundation
You will be able to go.
very far, even a building
This building, they went up with a foundation.
and went down
Their relationships are probably not working.
before you think about dating
before you think about seeing someone
Grab a copy
This book is actually available.

You guys can talk to him, you guys can call him
for even relationship advice
so do you like
Meet couples when you have a problem
In a relationship, you talk to them.
Yeah, we do. I do a lot.
then there are those seminars I do
once in a while
Due to COVID, we're doing Zoom.
all those kinds of things, just to help my generation
because in the end
Ali, 100 years ago
You were not there.
Maybe in 100 years you won't be there
but the kind of legacy we leave behind
is what speaks about us
so I believe we live our lives
as legends and legends will always
Think about the next generation
about the legacy they leave behind
Today they won't remember you for the shoe you wore.
but one thing they will remember
the legacy you leave behind
