Your Time Will Come: Arsenal’s Victory and the Lesson of Life

I am not the biggest football fan myself, but I do have a team I support die hard the Blues, Chelsea.

Arsenal F.C. won the 2025–2026 Premier League title by finishing 4 points ahead of Manchester City F.C.. They secured the league after City drew 1-1 with Bournemouth.

My team Chelsea F.C., are currently in 10th position on the table this season.

But waking up this morning Tuesday 20th May to see the Gunners finally win the title after 22 years taught me something deeper about life itself. They are expected to lift the Premier League trophy during their final home celebrations after the last league match.

The last time Arsenal F.C. won the English Premier League before this season was in the 2003-2004 season under legendary manager Arsène Wenger.

That was the famous “Invincibles” season, where Arsenal went the entire league campaign unbeaten winning 26 matches and drawing 12 without losing a single game.

Sometimes the wait is long. Sometimes people mock you, doubt you, and question whether your moment will ever come. But Arsenal’s victory is proof that persistence matters. If you keep showing up, keep fighting, keep believing, and keep putting in the work, one day your time will come too.

Life is a lot like football. There are seasons of disappointment, seasons where you almost make it, and seasons where it feels like nothing is working. But every setback is preparing you for your winning moment.

To Arsenal F.C. and all the Gunners fans of about 112M, well done. Your patience, loyalty, and belief have finally paid off.

Watching Arsenal F.C. fans celebrate this victory after 22 years is honestly beautiful. Through all the difficult seasons, disappointments, and criticism, they never stopped believing in their team. They kept showing up, supporting, hoping, and trusting that one day their moment would come. And that is exactly how life works too sometimes the journey is long, the waiting is painful, and the results take years, but if you remain faithful, consistent, and refuse to give up, one day your season of celebration will finally arrive.

And to everyone chasing a dream in life never give up. Keep practicing. Keep pushing. Keep showing up. Your victory may take time, but when it finally comes, it will all be worth it.

This victory is more than football  it is proof that persistence pays off. 

To Chelsea F.C. fans and every other supporter for other teams , sometimes football and life teach us humility accept defeat with grace, remain loyal through every season, and trust that your time to celebrate will come.

Your time will come too.

From Wiping Tables At Burger King to Overseeing Marketing for Three Hotels on the Kenyan Coast.

My marketing career journey would not be complete without giving credit to the people who opened doors for me and believed in me before I had the experience, title, or credentials to justify their confidence. At the top of that list is Mr. Mohammed Hersi (MH), a mentor to many, especially within the hospitality industry, and a leader who nurtured countless careers at Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa and across the Sarova Hotels family. As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded that God truly orders our steps. In January 2011, I came across a feature article in the Star Newspaper about an event at Sarova Whitesands. Looking back, I know it was more than coincidence. Out of all the articles I had seen, why did that one capture my attention? I believe God was answering prayers and directing my path. At the time, I was involved in event planning. Inspired by the article, I called Sarova Whitesands to explore the possibility of working together on events. I was connected to Nick Lad...

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this.” > — Psalm 37:5

“Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.” 1 Chronicles 16:11 “Commit your way to the LORD trust in him and he will do this.” Psalm 37:5 “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 Look to God, commit the desire to Him, trust Him, and let Him work. A Prayer for a God-Given Husband and a God-Built Marriage Heavenly Father, I come before You with an open heart. You know my desires, my past, my pain, my hopes and the future You have prepared for me. Lord, I surrender my desire for marriage to You. I do not want to force love. I do not want to chase what You have not assigned to me. I do not want to enter another relationship simply because I am lonely, afraid or tired of waiting. If You are not in it, I do not want it. If Your presence is not going with me, I do not want to go. Your Word says: “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” — Exodus 33:14 So Lord, let Your presence lead me—even in love. I ask You for...
