Let's face it, we all have a financial status, whether it's bad, medium, good, or even extremely good. But have you ever stopped to think about how you got there? The truth is, your financial status is a direct result of the choices you've made in your life.

If you're wealthy, it's because you worked hard, made smart investments, and took risks to get where you are today. If you're struggling to make ends meet, it's because you haven't made the right choices or taken the necessary steps to improve your situation.

While it's true that some people are born into poverty, it doesn't mean they have to stay there. It's up to each of us to decide whether we want to stay in our current situation or take action to change it. And that starts with having a purpose and a plan.

Just like a bodybuilder who sets a goal to build muscle, you need to have a clear purpose and a plan to achieve your financial goals. You need to be intentional with your actions, make smart choices, and be willing to put in the work to get there.

It's important to remember that you are the determiner of your life. You have the power to make things happen and to make a change. So, don't wait for luck to shine upon you or for someone else to do it for you. Take control of your life and your finances, and make it happen.

Remember, your financial status is a result of the path and process you choose in your journey of life. So, choose wisely and take action towards a better financial future.

Do you ever feel like your days just slip away from you? Like you didn't accomplish as much as you wanted to? It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and lose sight of our goals. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here are a few simple tips to help you make today a productive day:

1. Start with a plan: Before you begin your day, take a few minutes to plan out what you want to accomplish. Write down your goals and prioritize them so you know where to focus your energy.

2. Break it down: Once you have your goals in mind, break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. This will make them feel less overwhelming and easier to tackle.

3. Minimize distractions: We all know how easy it is to get distracted by social media, emails, and other notifications. To make the most of your day, try to minimize these distractions. Turn off notifications and limit your time on social media.

4. Take breaks: Taking breaks throughout the day can help you stay refreshed and avoid burnout. Take short breaks to stretch, walk around, or do something that helps you relax.

5. Stay motivated: Find ways to stay motivated throughout the day. This can include rewarding yourself for completing tasks, listening to motivational music, or working with a friend.

Bonus tip is to Stay organized: Keep your workspace organized and clean. This can help you stay focused and minimize stress.

Remember, productivity is not just about getting things done quickly, but also about doing things efficiently and effectively. So take your time, stay focused, and make today a productive day!

Why do you need marriage? You need marriage just like you need other social institutions. Marriage is a great burden and responsibility as well as a great opportunity. It is a burden and responsibility because as a married couple, you are going to face together everything that life can throw at you. The difference between a casual affair, let us say, and a marriage, is that the casual affair is all milk and honey. It is all pleasure — although it very rarely works out that way. That is the theory. Whereas in marriage, you have to contend with the harsh realities of all the dimensions of life. But you want to take that on voluntarily, and you want to share that with someone. If you do that properly within the confines of a marriage, then you have someone to weave together the rope of the narrative of your life. You have someone to bounce yourself off of, and you have someone to improve yourself in a relationship with, and you have someone that you have to take into consideration like you should take yourself into consideration. And you have someone that you have to take into consideration over the longest possible span of time. What that means is that you are forced, in a real sense, to perform the kind of sacrifice of impulsive hedonism that produces true maturity.

Before you speak - Listen

According to Psychology.

There are 6 Forces behind motivation:

1. Money and rewards
2. Desire to be the best
3. Helping others
4. Power and fame
5. Recognition
6. Passion

3 TRUTHS TO REMEMBER

Let's face it...
There are some things your words can't change. Only your results can. Been noticing some harsh truths lately. There are somethings you believe you can do, or you already doing but no one sees the vision or respect the drive or play a total role in your vision. Like you barely exist whilst trying to make an impact. It hurts, it pains, but its natural. You human. I've been there. You have the right to be annoyed but don't let it rule over you. Keep building... With a team or go solo. Soon the results would be seen and you have the right to choose who would be part of it. That's number 1.

Number 2. Dont ever envy someone's success. Or rather don't let it rule over you. We all came into this world. Some sets of people outshined each other. A group of 10 and one outshines everyone. Its normal to be jealous. Its natural. You human. But avoid it getting in control over you or then your challenge would be to be better than the other person instead of being better than your former self. Life can be unfair. Accept the truth. But commitment can cheat life. Commitment to something blinded to anything is the cheat code to life's treasure. We were all built for a different purpose unique to one another. That's number 2

Number 3. Out of 10 people only a fraction of 1% cares about your ideas. They would be with you. All of em. But you aint their spark. Don't fight to be loved by people. Time is ticking barry. Youve gotta run as fast as you can. Sit down, observe and you would see out of 10 you've got just one person always praying your dream comes true. Always smiling and always eager to see more of you and most times that person is someone you barely talk to. According to my mentor jordan peterson, when you speak and no one listens, dont repeat, draw back and just observe. Those who are ready to listen talk to them. Those who barely respond draw back and go solo..

The fact is just keep moving no matter what📌📌📌

If you want to live a GREAT life, don’t allow yourself to be controlled by any of these things.⠀
1 – Your PAST.⠀
2 – Other peoples opinions and judgements⠀
3 – LIMITED BELIEFS you project on yourself.⠀
4 – Relationships and⠀
5 – MONEY.

The difference between mediocrity and greatness lies in being committed to the profession and being consumed by the desire to be great and the dedication to learn the trade.

People will doubt you but don't you ever doubt yourself. Cause the very moment you do, you've set a course to fail.

3 things to keep quiet

• Your love life
• Your income
• Your next move

A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a dangerous man who has that under control.

13 steps to success synonymous to 13 levels in the masonic societies, similar to the 13 steps on the pyramid on the US dollar note.

You know that the more deeply you grapple with the fundamental issues of life, the wiser and broader you get. And then I would ask, ‘If everyone did that to the utmost, what would it be that we might be able to conquer?’ I do not know the answer to that. Life would radically transform. I see what happens because people write me all the time. I see what happens when people adopt a certain amount of responsibility for their life. They write and they say, ‘Man, everything is way better.’ OK, how much better could it be?

This is also associated with this idea in the New Testament. There is a section where Christ says that heaven will not emerge and all things will not manifest themselves until everyone brings everything inside them out right there — divine possibility, let us say. Part of the reason that the world is fallen the way it has is because we hold back our best. We do not abide by the Law and the prophetic Spirit and we do not bring everything that is within us out into the world, and the world is lesser as a consequence of that. I do believe that we do not bring our best out because we are afraid, we are desperate, and we do not have the courage to confront the malevolence and the suffering and the hellish aspect of life. You look at the death and you say, ‘Well, is the death more real and the hell more real, or is the Resurrection more real?’

UNDERSTANDING THE TRINITY

I would like to add a nuance, an explanation on the Christian trinity. That few know about.
the trinity in geometry is represented in the form of the triangle.
This shape (triangle) also represents the balance of duality.
Jesus represents man (human), son of God.
Holy Spirit represents the link with god, the conscience. And God represents the creator, the divinity.
When these three aspects that represent us are in balance.
Then we find enlightenment.
This is why the shape of the triangle with the eye in the center represents the hidden meaning of the trinity.

In wealth allocation and management keep your eyes on the numbers and you will succeed.

In talent and creativity do not keep your eyes on the numbers or you wont succeed. Be creative and let the numbers think about itself

What will you dream if you know your dreams can never fail?

Procrastination is the mother of poverty. When thou has planned to do something, thou must seek to completion of it until it's perfect and completely lacking nothing

GET AT IT MAN!!!

Dont remain in stasis. You would get old way faster than you think. Time ticks away. Get at it. Get out there in the world. have your adventure. Fail. Fail while you try. You learn while you fail not to fail the same way again. Aim at achieving something. When you have an aim, your brain rewires to achieving that aim. The world is reconfigured towards your aim and purpose. You become purposeful. A reason to wake up every morning, comparing yourself to who you were yesterday.

Get at it man!
Someone's life depends on the good of your life. There's a generation out there waiting for what you have to give out to them. Life is hard. Yes!. But do something. Its your best bet. Its painful while trying to achieve your goals with life's limitations but its more painful if you aren't doing anything to improve yourself. So choose one. Cause at the end of it all, moving through the shadows and thorns of life, you would eventually get to the light rather than standing staring at the difficulties of life.

Get at it man!! Time is going. The worst mistake we make is to think we have time.

AT THE END OF IT ALL YOU WOULD BECOME LIKE YOUR TEACHER.

I've got a friend who's talented at playing football but stays all day with a business man who sells Ice cream. Every passing day of his life he sees this man stalking ice cream into cones, how he preserves them, refrigerates them add in flavors e.t.c It was like a cycle. Morning, afternoon and night.

A time came he sat with his co friends who were discussing on planning a lady's birthday. A suggestion of having an ice cream stand popped in but they had little knowledge on how to go about it. This friend of mine stood up And eloquently explained stages and processes of how the ice creams are made and in no time they all came to an agreement he will be the one handling the stand since he knows so much about ice creams. Even if its for a day, practically he has just become like his teacher. You've got the plan of someone you want to be in future? Then surround yourself with those kind of people. Whatever discussion they are making be there to listen. Whatever they doing be there to learn and one day you would eventually become like them. Be vigilant on who you constantly receive knowledge from because in no time you would become like them. Absorb knowledge for the kind of person you want to be, from the kind of person you want to be.

THERE ARE NO STUPID MISTAKES

There are
1. Mistakes: These are moments when
reality teaches us something.

And there's
2. Stupid: This is what happens
when we refuse to learn from our mistakes.

"Don't be stupid" is a fine mantra. It's
particularly apt when talking about cultural
forces, political agendas and our thoughtless
impulses.
It's also useful to remember to "make
productive and generous mistakes." And to
learn from them.

DON'T COMPETE WITH ANYONE BUT YOURSELF.

In your every day life you should, and I mean constantly, be competing with nobody but yourself. True growth only happens when you become a better version of yourself yesterday. Aiming to be like someone would constantly destroy your motivation as each day passes you not close to that goal. And what happens is that you begin to loose ones true self as you start becoming someone other than you. This shatters your purpose leaving you contributing or being part of someone else's purpose. That isn't self growth. That's becoming a replica of someone. Competing with yourself on the other hand challenges to you be better than your former self everyday. You did something today, have it in your mind to do something better than that tomorrow. As time goes on improvement sets in, you begin to notice your flaws and mistakes. Correction sets in, perfection is nearly reached and when you look back, you would see you've become a whole different person but better than your previous self. Still purposeful but better. That's growth. And it only happens when you humble enough to admit your flaws when noticed.
Growth happens when you better than your yesterday's self. What did you achieve today? Do something better tomorrow

WEALTH DEMANDS RESPONSIBILITY FOLLOWED BY ACCOUNTABILITY.
Responsibility is the forefather to accountability, but one doesn’t evidence the other. When you admit responsibility to overdrafting your checking account yet do it again next week, you’re not accountable. When you admit responsibility to fathering a child out of wedlock, yet continue to engage in that behavior, you’re not accountable. When you take responsibility for having your purse stolen but flaunt it on the table in open view, you’re not accountable.Accountability is being culpable to your consequences and modifying your behavior if need be to prevent those consequences. You can be responsible while not being accountable. One of the best way distinguishing between responsibility and accountability:“What kills me is when people make the same piss-poor choice multiple times but then claim to be responsible. It’s easy to be “responsible” when responsible means just walking away. I’ve seen single parents who pledge to be “responsible” for the wild oats they’ve sown, only to occasionally send a check in the mail. I’ve seen people walk away from homes, claiming to be “respon-sible” for their actions, only to buy another home they can’t afford. I’ve seen people being “responsible” for the actions their drinking and driving caused only to do it again! I am sick and tired of people being “responsible!” I want people to be accountable. People need to think before they act. Own their choices before they make them. I am okay with people making mistakes—but freaking own that you made a mistake and learn from it. That’s what true accountability and responsibility is all about. When you accountable to your choices, you alter your behavior in the future and take the driver's seat of your life.
