We are almost wrapping up 2024, and truthfully, it’s exciting to imagine what 2025 has in store for us.
In an exclusive interview with Mpasho, motivational speaker and pastor Sam West shared habits Kenyans should leave behind.
Some of these are
Forcing issues
According to Sam People should stop forcing issues, especially in 2024.
People have been forcing themselves into other people’s relations just because they want to get married.”
Forcing manifestations
Sam says as much as manifestations are good when they do not happen you should not panic.
Next year people should focus on growing and improving themselves.

He also shared signs women should look for when identifying a man who won’t marry them.
These are
1. He hides you from people close to him
A man who loves you and is proud of you will show you off to his family and friends.’
But a man who has no interest in having anything serious with you keeps you hidden such men only call you when they need something from you
2. He takes too long to propose
A man who does not intend to marry you does not discuss having a future with you.
He does not involve you in his future even regarding investment matters.
3. He is not a good communicator
A man who has no intention of marrying you does not have proper communication. Such men go MIA for days or weeks. They also refuse to solve issues when they come instead they chose to give their partner silent treatment.
4. He is always cheating on you
If a man constantly cheats on you, it means he is not ready to commit. And if he does his habits will not likely change.

Sam further advised that it is better to marry late than to marry wrong.

Here are 8 reasons you shouldn’t stay in a toxic relationship according to Sam West
Lack of communication
A relationship cannot thrive where communication is non-existent.
Proper communication helps solve misunderstandings, give advice and even offer solutions where necessary.
Disrespect and pride
Pride has brought down many relationships and marriages.
Proud people never feel the need to compromise and are never happy when things do not go their way.
Hot-tempered people
According to Sam, an angry man can be controlled but a hot-tempered man cannot.
Hot temperedness can lead to fights and other extreme things.
Abusive partner
If a man/woman respects you they will respect you and give treat you in a good way.
Constant negative criticism
A good partner supports you and corrects you with love.A person who constantly wants to bring you down and never celebrates you is a walking red flag.
Infidelity
If your partner is a serial cheater just leave them.
Emotional neglect and manipulation
A manipulative partner should be dropped like a hot potato. These are the kind of partners who make you doubt your sanity by turning things against you.Protect your mental health at all costs.
